1 THE OMAITA DAILY DEE: MONDAY, ArniL 10. 100 TWO BISHOPS IN PULPITS Bishop McDowell Talks to Methodists of Loavts and Fishes. POWER OF JESUS l A CHURCH ASSET Blahnp WIIHania Conlrmi a Ivtrsa tlaaa In Trinity mthrdrnl and Drama l.raaona TonrhlnK the Vorallon for the Chorrh. Bishop William K.

AftiT the Firmon tlie money wax practically nil niliscrlln d. "It is the ovfil.istlnK prohlem of the church," nnld the lilahnp, "how to care for th? thonsandK of mm and women In the world with very limited! visible re sources. It Is tho old prohlem of the king dom of Ood and the tremendous task to lie wrought with nppniently so little to do the work. The advlre of the dlsrlplrs when the crowd about Jesus was confronted with tha problem of food was to send them away. It is slmllnr to saying that If Omaha cannot take care- of It unrlphteous sond them to Council muffs, but In any event git them out of our sight. This is tha view of unbelief, of skepticism; the vlaw that dodges difficulties and solves problems by getting away from them. Thare are those who doubt whether Jesus oould feed fi.ono with five biscuits and two ardlncs who would hold the opinion that It Would he easy enough for him to feed a dozen and they among the dozen. These can believe that lie can save a few, but never rise to the heights of belief that He came to save the whole world. "Jesus created the feeling that there waa something doing. He said first, 'They need not depart." For all the world needs let it stay close to Jesus. For the satisfaction of all man'a needs he need not depart from Him. "Toil cannot read the story of Christ at all unless you are prepared to read It clear through. The next thing he said was 'Olve them to eat bring them hither to Me." In the story the boy who had the loaves and fishes la the finest figure next to Jesus. He Is the type of boy thnt Is worth while. He was the only one there that had anything and he had no mora than enough for himself. The boy knew, however, that Jesus did not want the food for Himself It was for others, and that motive appealed to him. He walked up and handed It over to Him. In that act ha showed the highest mark of faith. "How simple the story is and yet whnt a lesson It has. I think It teaches us a new way to regard our resources. Let us not count simply with the church among bo many, but add in Jesus Christ. He must be put In the count. The value of one's assets depends up6n whoso hands they are In. In the boy s hands the fishes and the loaves were no more than enough for himself; In His hands they were enough for all. In our own hands what we have will leave us In beggary and poverty. In the hands of Jesus what we have will feed the multitude for 100 years. How will you count your resources? Where will you place your assets? If you count Christ in they multiply; f not they shrink. Let 'B try to see our task through the eyes or Jesus and not Jesus through our task." BISHOP WILLIAMS O VOCATION'S Lessons Drawn from Example of the Fishermen Mho Followed Christ. Bishop Williams preached In Trinity ca thedral and confirmed a large class of boys and girls. He drew his lesson on the service of God from Christ's command tQ the two flshcrmon, "Follow ma and I Will maka you flshera of men." " 'And they stralghway loft their nets and followed Him.' " said the bishop, "How ia it that before Christ had done any mira cle for three men they left everything and followed Him? It was a call that made them follow Christ a sense of defi nite vocation. To whnt extent am I called to leave all and follow Christ? Are all to leave their vocations for the church and to become missionaries and priests an deaconesses? In the case of -tho twelve apostles here the call was defi nite and actual. They were to found the church of Christ on this earth; they were tha germ from which was to spring tha Christian ministry. "We have the case of the rich young man who came to Christ asking what he should do to gain eternal life. Christ looked down Into his heart and saw cov etousness there and He saw that It would gradually dull all good Instincts and He said to him: 'Go and sell what thou hast and follow me.' That was a definite call. Take some young woman in the church. If the sense of vocation comes Into her heart ehe will surrender her social posi tion, marriage, everything to enter one of our orders for a life of service. Among the small boys here let us hope that some will experience the inward call, such that there is no mistaking.

MUNYON, Philadelphia, fa. him the call that he can answer 'Tea' to hla bishop's question, 'Do you truly feal called by the voice of Ood to a life of service?' then that Is vocation. "In this life there are extraordinary calls and ordinary calls. The Lord does not expect men and women to give up their vocations when He calls. The whole government of the church Is to create order among men. He does not ask us to abandon our callings, but to praise G:id In them to abandon all that Is vile and mean In them. We cannot all be experts In every line of biislne'-s. but we can all be experts In Christianity, fr It fits every legitimate calling. Ood experts us to dignify and make noble our daily lives." DR. COSLEV 0 WOItK OF Y. W. f. A, Pastor of First Dnptlat Ulve Ilia Vlena on I'rotoril Change. At the services of the First Iiaptlst church last evening the pastor. Dr. Con ley, made the following statement: I have been ntked to Ftate in a public way my reasons for believing that the proposed change In the constitution of the mnha Young Woman's Christian associa tion is a wise one. I understand that the constitution as it now stands allows any woman over lu years of age of good char acter, whether Christian or not, to be an active member, and that the proposed change will limit such membership to members of evangelical churches, accept ing Just as the Young Men's Christian as sociation does the deiitittion of evangelical nilnnted hv the Kvanaelicat alliance. Any woman of K od. moral character may heroine an associate meml'er with all the privileges except the right to vote and hold office, rfgardles of religious faith. Mv tlrst reason for favoring such change Is that it will secure the proper classifi cation of this association. There are, as you ore aware, two kinds of Young Women's Christian associations, the Independent, and those which are work ing with the American committee. The former are devoting their attention very largely to providing rooms and homes lor oung women, a very commendable work. The others, with the American committee, are putting emphasis upon the religious work, and are laboring ulong lines similar to those of the Young Men's Christian as sociation. The Omaha association is tha onlv one of the Independents. 1 understand, that is doing this latter work, anil so in all fairness ought to be affiliated with the American committee and with the other associations doing this kind of work. Its present position is an anomalous one, which would be corrected by this change. Then too, this change will tiring this as sociation Into mutual help'ul relations to the state and national work. T'lls movement of work for the young women Is one that is thoroughly organized and far-reaching in import. It has a future of large promise. It is a great companion movement to the Young Men's Christian association and has but fairly entered upon its development. A city like Omaha ought to be represented In a work like this. This Is a day not for little, Independent organizations, but for affiliation and federa tion. Tne cnange prnposeo means mm mui association will come Into line and become a factor of this remarkable movement. It means larger opportunities and possibilities In every way. And further, it sepms to me that this change is in the Interest of true liberality and effectiveness. One of the most helpful Institutions In this country and In the world for the pro motion of the larger fellowship and broth erhood In religion Is the Young Men s Christian association. Husiness men gen erally say that this plan la broad enough for them. Its active membership every where is made up of members of evangeli cal churches, while its associate member ship enrolls very large numbers of men of almost every conceivable faith and no It is a mistake to think that this pro vision for active membership Is based upon narrowness or has In It a desire to crowd anyone out. It is simply recognizing exist ing conditions and adopting a workable plan. The Young Women's Christian association makes religion the dominant factor in its work. There are plenty of clubs and charitable societies to do the other work; but If religion is to be dominant It is munlfest that It must be directed by those In sympathy with this object. Hut there are In this country three distinct types or religion, the Roman Catholic, the Evangeli cal, and the I'nltarlan. Each of these types has Its own Ideals, and they differ greatly In their estimates of the Hlhle, of Jesus Christ and of salvation. We sln cerelv wish these differences did not exist. To conduct the association so that it would touch upon some of these differences would be to make It a very poor sort of an ethical club. If It Is to be positively and aggressively religious. It must work along one of the above types. This Is not bigotry or illiberallsm; It Is simply practi cal business sense. Our Young Women's Christian association In connection with the American committee, studying the entire situation, are working along the broadest, most unseetarlan, most comprehensive type of evangelical religion while reaching out the hand of fellowship to all others to come to them as far as possible. I can conceive of no more liberal yet practical scheme than this. It secures the positive religious character of the . Institution. It places responsibility where 'It belongs, and secures the harmony, the breadth and the essential character of the work for the future. It Is simply a plain, liberal, prac tical, common sense movement which ought to have the cordial approval of all. WHAT SHALL WE GIVE TO CHRISTf Law of Selfaaerlflce and Its Effect on the Christian. Rev. Mr. Folsom of Plymouth Congrega tional church occupied the pulpit at the First Congregational church last night, and spoke briefly on self-sacrifice. 'If Christ made the supreme sacrifice," he said, "what sacrifice Is there for you and for me? Ood does not command sac rifice; but man. has hoped by such he might approach nearer the throne. We find th Christian making sacrifices. God has given His son as a sacrifice, Christ says, 'Take up your cross and follow Me.' Ho has given His life for us, the question arises what have I done for Him? The field la wide. Each of us Is a part of the social and religious organism. We grow by one another. All about us are needy souls asking us for our best. By granting them our best, we become better men and women. ' Tho law of self-sacrifice is the giving of the heart, and the giving of the hca-t brings strength. It means to give all, our whole beings to those wo love; by such self-sacrifice we grow more und more like our Christ. "God endowed us and it remains for us to make the most of our faculties, so we may grow to perfect manhood and woman hood. In renunciation of self we are not to cast these aside, but to fulfill and en rich them by sacrifice. It means for us to renounce selfish desires and ambitions. Such renunciation has wrought all that is noblo and great In the world. May we tonight become conscious of the gift of God. God haa given us His son and we must return the gift of God by self-sacrifice." SNEAKTHIEVES IN CHURCHES Members of Trinity and First Presfay terlan Conarreaallona Lose Coata Dnrlna Services. Bneakthleves got In their work during divine service Sunday morning at two places of worship. Trinity cathedral at Eighteenth street and Capitol avenue, and the First Preshyteriun church at Seven teenth and Dodge streets. At both places coats were taken from the cloak rooms In the basement. From the First Pres byterian church C. It. Gratton and L. Q. Krats lost coats and at the other church P. Sims, Hugh McWhorter and W. B. Wll klna were loaera. A sack coat. In the pocketa of which was a package of letters and a purse con taining a 16 bill, waa atolen from Mr. Wilklna, who sings In the choir and had taken off his coat to don a surplice. The thief was kind enough to return the let ters and the empty pocketbook. Coming down town, he met Harry Grors, a news boy, and handed hlin tha articles with the Injunction to take them to the house of Mr. Wilklna, who would give him 0 rents for his trouble, I'pon hla urrlval the boy waa Bciied by Mr. Wilklna, who took him to the police atatlun. He soon convinced the officers that he was Innocent of any wrung and was released. Detective Mitchell visited the pawnshops and recovered all the couU except that of Mr. elms. SAYING WORK FOR WOMEN Young Woman's Christian Association Day is Honored in Omaha. WORKING SECRETARIES TELL THE STORY Misses Harriet Taylor and Abble Mr Klroy Give Mrlklna; Detalla of a World-Wide Movement for Christ's C'auee. As part of the program of Young Wom en's Christian association day, observed In Omaha Sunday, Miss Harriet Taylor, gen eral secretary of the International commit tee of the Y'nung Women's Christian asso ciation, addressed a large congregation from the pulpit of the First Presbyterian church in the morning. Miss Taylor's sub ject was, "The World's Young Women's Christian Association," and she spoke along general lines pf the work with which she has been closely Identified for over ten v.9 ra "The work of the Young Women's Chris tian association Is great and large, is a well organized and Ood-gulded work, with no social line of demarcation through It," said Mips Taylor. "The workers of the as sociation recognize but one head, Jesus Christ. The world's committee lays down two eeneral unaprlvlno nrtnelnles. which are that the work shall be Interdenomina tional and that those in control shall be persons who hold to the nnrierlvlnff tenets of the evangelical church, such as the dlety ot i hrlst, integrity of the Scriptures and of salvation through Jesus Christ. "After attending the International rnn ventlon at Geneva, Switzerland, I went V through Germanv. Norwav. Sweden. Den mark and Great Britain and found women of the highest social standing actively en gaged In the work of the association, , as well as those In tho ordinary walks of life. At Geneva nearlv everv nrnver offered waa In a different language. In Germany there are loan societies, the association being under the guidance of the Lutheran church and tne recognized Young Women a Chris. tlan association of the country. The work Is making much orogress In Denmnrk Sweden and Norway. In Great Britain the societies number 1.673. In India, China, and Japan much Is being done for the women tnrougn tne efrorts of the association. Bla; Army of Students. "In the fritted States the work is hrnnrh ing out In many directions. There are 14,000 young women studying In the volunteer uinic classes and 1,000 In the mission classes. A year ago the statistics showed that rer. ular meetings were being held in 228 fac tories, with an average weeklv attendance of S,000. This work has grown wonderfully uuring me last year. The work In the col lege's and universities Is a tremendous power ror good. The factory work, or ganized in 1!)00, has had the effect of nln. clns comfortable lunch, dressing and toilet rooms in tne ractorles and generally amello rating the conditions of the working iri "Another great feature of the association work Is to save as far as possible the thou sands of girls whom statistics show astray every day all over the world. The i cuing women s Christian association .nn slats of Christian women banded together to wont ror all women. The association stands hnnd-ln-hand with the church In evangelizing the world, and it aims to be an arm of the church in bringing women to Christ." Great Wave of Mlanlon v Miss Abble McElroy, state secretary of the Young Woman's Christian association of Iowa, addressed a large congregation at l congregational church. Nine teenth and Davennort streets. s,,na morning. Her address bore upon the work ui tne association, the, necessity for Its organization and what It has accomplished and Is accomplishing. She aaid in part: "r consider it a great privilege to bring to you the work of the Tonne- Wnmun-. Christian association and to tell you of worn e are aoing throughout the world. A great wave of missionary work has sprung up in the Christian church.. a desire to carry with greater energy the wor oi tne Lord Jesus Christ into heathen hinds. Many stand readv and nlllin n go. The Salvation Army was organized to reacn tne great Godless population In the congested districts Of Tnitnn on4 great work It has accomplished. It' ia bo wun tne need ror, organization to reach the young women and voumr men in th. cities for Christ's cause. About one-fourth oi me population of the country la now in the cities; 100 years ago but one-thirtieth of the population lived In the citiea. Hence we believed the time was ripe and the age required our association. Ita purpose Is to lead young women to walk and talk with God." Scope Is World-Wide. Miss McElroy gave an Interesting sketch of the work in Europe and India. She told a pitiable story of the degraded condition of women in the oriental lands, and the gradual growth of the Young Woman's Christian association work there and the wonderful good it ia accomplishing. "Japan is a country in search .of a new religion," she sjtid, "and our .association work Is Just beginning there with glorious results and the promise of grand work for the future. In America we have 642 as sociations. Six million young women of this country ure away from their homes, employed in the business field. Only 32 per cent of the young women of America be long to any church, Roman or Protestant. There are 228 factories in the United States where our association holds weekly meet ings. We look after the physical and moral part of the work, but It la not finished until the young women are brought to accept Jesus Christ." After Miss McElroy had concluded her address Mrs. Emma F. Byers, in charge of the local work of the Young Woman's Christian association in Omahu, delivered a short address. She concluded her re marks with the announcement that an im portant business meeting of the association would be held this Monday evening, and aH members were urged to be present. Letter from' Bishop McDowell. The following letter will explain why Lishop McDowell did not touch on the Young Woman'i Christian association work in his talk at the First Methodist church Sunday morning: To Rev. E. Combie Smith, D. D. My Dear Mr. Smith: I am very sorry thut the particular and pressing exigencies of our campaign for tunda made it Impossible lor me this morning to auy a word which waa on my heart to say with reference to the work of the Amorieun committee of the Young Woman's Christian association, whoso representatives are in the city to day. I have been very familiar with this work for many years. Mm. McDowell has been for ten years a member of the Ameri can committee. We both believe In the work of the committee und In the evangeli cal basis of lta work with great heartiness. It would have been my pleasure to aay ao in your pulpit thus morning had occasion offered. Ever yours, W I LL1AM MtABEK M' DO WELL.

In which he made such an excellent Impression last season. "The Mummy and the Hummingbird" Is not a masterpiece, but It does present certain propositions that might be classified under the Bead of ethical gymnastics. Consider able ingenuity has been expended In the working out of a plot that Is simple enough to satisfy anyone, and It Is rather In the ramifications than in the plot Itself that the Interest subsists. Mr. Gllmore pre sents the same careful study of the high minded gentleman placed In peculiarly try ing circumstances that he did last sea son. His Lord Lumley has not lost any of Its savor, nor has It made any great stride forward. It is satisfying If not illuminating. The really strong bit of character work In connection with the present offering of the piece is the Giuseppe of Mr. John Mar tin. This is an excellent portrayal of a difficult character, and Is done In a most convincing way. Others In support of Mr. Gllmore are quite well adapted to the parts assigned, and the piece Is given with a smooth and easy swing that makes it worth hearing a second time. Those who went to the Boyd yesterday afternoon and evening were quite enthusiastic in their endorsement of the actors' work. "The Mummy and the Hummingbird" will be given again this evening. "David Harnm" at the Krnft. David Harum conducted the horse trade, tamed the "young filly" and broke two colts to harness, to the Intense satisfac tion of two audiences at tho Krug yester day afternoon and evening. This is one book play thnt has lost little in being turned from the novel to the uses of the stage. Mr. Harry Brown is giving a rea sonably good Impersonation of the Wet cott hero, and if he loses somewhat In the unction of his humor, he makes up for It In his earnestness. Clint G. Ford, who was once a comedian himself. Is the Gen eral Wolsey of the cast, and does very well with him. Miss Louise Hardenburg is delightful as Mary Blake, whose "Intui tions" taught her a whole lot of things that weren't true. She Is well set off by Richard Gordon in the role of John Len nox. Most of the Interest of the piece follows the fortune of these two, and it is well sustained throughout. The quaint characters of the book are taken from Its pages and set forth In "lifelike fidelity," as the sideshow man says, on the stage, each being given exceedingly well. The scene of the deacon In the rainstorm at the close of the second act Is still the comedy hit of the piece. "David Harum" will be presented at the Krug this evening and Tuesday evening. Vaudeville at the CrelBihton-Orphenm. They come In pairs this week at the vaudeville house, or in bunches. The bill opens with some of the cleverest trick bicycle riding ever seen on the stage, and Paulton and Dooley may consider It a high closes with what is unquestionably the best club juggling act before the public, compliment that they evoke the enthusiasm they do. In view of the fact that Omaha has seen several very good bicycle riders at the Orpheum- during the season. The Mowatts have added a lot of new feats to their club juggling stunt since last seen here, and are now doing tricks that are not only extremely clever, but are even dangerous. The Levlne-Clmeron trio does a mixture of high grade athletics, low comedy and graceful dancing, and It- Is hard to say which feature deserves the most praise, fof-all are good. Les Dahlias do not resemble the flower, but do a good whirlwind dance, and do it well. Klelst has an amusing mixture of music and pantomime which he puts through, with the aid of an unnamed assistant and wins much applause. Miss Pagle Norton and Mr.' Paul Nicholson have a duologue, and Mr. Nicholson gives a life-like imitation of James J. Corbet t, walk, manner and voice, so like the original that Corbett might easily mistake him for himself. The artistic feature of the bill Is Emmett Cor rigan and his company in a little sketch, "Jockey Jones," a better play in one act than many that take four or five. Mr. Corrlgan has touched a human note, and while he couches It In the language of the race track, little known In Omaha, he puts it most effectively. He and his company were heartily applauded at the close of the sketch yesterday, and ought to be popular before the week Is out. SILKETT SITS IN A CELL Man Cleverly Landed In Jail by the Woman He Married Through Deceit. A warrant has been out for Isaac Sllkett for more than a week, but It was his wife's cleverness which landed him In Jail after the police had failed to locate him. Sllkett was tried three weeks ago for wife abandonment and was released after mak ing a written promise to pay 3 a week to ward the support of his little son, Philip. He failed to contribute and a charge of child abandonment has been placed agulnst him. Saturday Mrs. Sllkett learned that her husband was staying at the Martin Hats, Seventeenth and Webster streets. Sunday afternoon she passed the place and through an open window sow him sitting in a room with a woman she did not know. The stranger drew the blind. The wife was not to be frightened away and she came near the window and addressed some pretty plain language to her recreant spouse, lie rushed out and seized her by the arm. "I am going to take you to the station and have you locked up for disturbing tho peace," he suld, not knowing that his own appearance would be fatal to his freedom. 'All right, I'll go with you and I'll bet you won't lock me up," said Mrs. Sllkett, who comprehended the situation. When they reached the station the hus band was escorted to a cell in such short order that ho had no chance to tell his story. The wife went bnck home. At Sllkett's trial three weeks ago it came out that Sadie Sllkett is not his lawful wife. The woman had been married before In Iowa and had not secured a divorce. In her story of Isaac'a wooing she said he told her that five years' separation constituted divorce, and she, being young and trustful, believed him. She married him and not until the eventful day In police court did she learn that she had no claims on him. He could not be convicted on the charge and the case was dropped, with the understand ing that he would either provide for the child or answer for deserting L. The two have been living together for eight years and tha child Is Sllkett's. Lost Watch While Asleep. G. E.

LAST TWO WEEKS OF LENT Speelal Preparation for the Cloatna; of the season That rreredea the Eaater Feattval. With Sunday began the last two weeks of Lent, which In the Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches are weeks of spe cial preparation for the glad festival of Easter. Next Sunday Is Palm Sunday, an occasion of special ceremonies and tho distribution of palms In the churches. Holy week begins with Sunday, April lfl, and during the days of that week and also In the evenings there will be solemn observation of the Impressive ceremonies prescribed by the church. This will be more especially true of Holy Thursday and Good Friday, the day when tho church and her ministers appear in deep est blark in commemoration of the pas sion and death of Christ. Easter Sundny this year falls on April 23, which is the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox, which occurred on March 21. Easter could fall as early as March 22 and as late as April 25. In ism It fell on March 29, in 1SS4 on March 25 and In 1D03 on March 30. Last year It fell on April 3, while in 1KS9 Easter Sunday was April 21, two days earlier than this year. The moon was full this year on March 20 and it will be full again on April 19. To have bis dates correct according to ecclesiastical reckoning, the amateur fore caster of Easter must bear In mind that the church does not employ the date of the astronomical full moon, but Invaria bly computes the fourteenth day of the lunar month.
