LIFE'S BEST FRUIT CHRISTIAN CHARACTER

"This world li vineyard and Ood planted
it and lot It out to man on the shareholding
basis," said Rev. n.-O. Mattson of Yank
ton. 8. D , at St. Mary's Avenue Congre
gational church Bunday morning.
"Llfe'e fruit." he added, "Is not In build
ings, not In massive fortune, not In great
fame even; it la In character character
and that great accompanying blessing, hap
plnesa, without which life has not been a
auccess. Hnpplnesa cannnot be attained
with the detructlon or the abandonment
of character.
"Ood, the Master of the vineyard, has a
ahare In life's fruit. Just as ha haa In
the origin and development of life. Ta
realize this fully, many fallacies must be
overcome. One of them is the every man
for himself theory advocated by certain
teachers. I am reminded of .the Henry
George theory, now abandoned, that wagea
abould be measured by the amount df
money a man can make working for him
self. If things worked out that way,
wages would be mighty low. We have dis
covered that men do more working to
gether and that man does more working
for others than for tilmself. In thla light
I call on you to abandon the fallacy and
let man work for himself, his neighbor and
his Ood. all partners In the vineyard.
"Also I am reminded of Henry Qeorge'a
teaching that all land should be public
property, and that if all labor worked by
lleelf unassisted by capital, the fruits of
the labor would belong entirely to the
laborer. 80 they would, but what would
be the fruit of the labor? The land is
free and labor la unaided by capital in the
Jungles of Africa, the Australian bushland,
the Patagonlan wastes, tb icefields of the
Esquimaux, the plains of the North Amer
ican Indians. You know the fruits of labor
there. What a poor, miserable, primitive
lol of naked barbarians we would be under
the same prevailing principles. We have
abandoned the fallacy In business life; I
call on you to abandon It In religion. We
ahould not tblnk the vineyard all our own,
but should consider God the Master."
Mr. Mattson will preach again next Sun
day at 8t. Mary'a Avenue church.
WE MIST LEARN TO LITE WBU.
Training and Development of Moral
Faculty a Progressive Process.
"Learn to Do Well," was the subject of
the address of Rev. Dr. Newton Mann at
Unity church. Dr. Mann premised the de
velopment of his thought by the assertion:
"We must learn before we can do anything.
Man ia born with auch an Incumbrance
of Ignorance and awkwardness that only
after many failures does he learn the one
right way to do any given thing."
He took exception to the old straight
laced theory that man la born more handi
capped morally than in any other way.
Instancing the tradea and crafts, the
speaker said: "Even after knowledge of
how a thing should be done la acquired
there must be practice before perfection
la reached. Hand, head and heart all
aeems at times afflicted with a perverseness
that goes directly contrary to intention,
and It la only by continual struggle, con
stant repression of desire, that the pas.
siona are kept under subjection. As the
training la, ao will tha aetion be. In
morals. M In tha physical sphere, men do
the accustomed, the habitual thing, mora
readily ant) easily the oftener it is done."
"Heredity, ' environment were discussed
In their philosophic aspects and tha deduc
tion drawn that inherited tendencies are
much tha more difficult to be put off.
Thought, belief, religion, were analysed in
their latter-day development, especially
along the line of the merging and broaden
ing of men of all religions and all schools
of thought.
"The commingling of the currents of
thought and discussion have made it Im
possible for cultured people longer to quar
rel about religious differences. There la
mora and more mobility In all of the
churchea, with the reault that people are
learning more .easily to believe good, to
think good and to do good. From the
wrecks of the old deeds that were wrong
they are learning to rise to higher and
better things. No battle against inclina
tion that is fought and won but lifts a
man nearer to the perfection of life and
tha realisation of happiness."
UaULPISHKESS THE COMMON SIN
A. S. C. Clark OsTera God's Salva
tion as Only Remedy.
"Selfishness la the prevailing aln of man
kind today," aald Rev. A. S. C. Clarke at
tho Lowe Avenue Presbyterian church yes
terday morning. . "The press dally comes to
ua teeming with reports of the sinful con
sequences of modern commercialism. The
eplrlt of the times is commercialism and
in this great race for the dollar, men and
corporations ara falling Into aln, going
wrong. What is back of it all? Nothing
In the world but selfishness. It la selfish
ness that makes a man do wrong Instead
of right in order to get the dollar. It is
selfishness that makes a great and power
ful corporation traflio in human con
sciences In order to get tha dollar."
It waa communion Sabbath and prior to
administering tha aaorament. Rev. Mr.
Clarke, in offering a remedy for thla uni
versal tendency, aald:
"Thera la but one remedy and that ' la
the aalvatlon of God. In Jesua Christ, His
only begotten son, we have that aalvatlon.
Thla cup of which we ara to partake and
of which Christ and His disciples partook
at that last supper, is the emblem of Ills
blood. In partaking of It all mankind
ahould Imbibe tha lesson which Ha laid
down when He gave up His life that you
and I might live, aa He said on that last
Hlght, after calling them not slavea, but
friends: "Qreatf r love hath no man than
this, that a man lay down his Ufa for hla
frletMs.' That Is the spirit that ought to
prevail and that Is tha spirit which alone
can wipe out tha common aln of selfish
ness which Is cursing ao many men today."
Mr. Clarke added, however, aa proof of
Ms optimism, that he believed there were
algna of tha disappearance of this harm
ful tendency.
PRAY, BIT KEEP HARD AT WORK
God Helna Tboae Who Help Them
selves. Saya Rev. C. W. Vavidse.
"The Curse of Debt" waa the subject
"of Rev. Charlea W. Savldge'a sermon at
tha People's church Sunday morning. Ha
quoted liberally from Horace Greeley ta
substantiate his own assertions as to the
undealrablllty of debt.
"There is a marvelous amount of truth
packed In tha scripture words 'For he that
loves his brother fulfills tha law,' " aald
tha pastor. "If you don't love your brother
you break all laws; if you love your brother
you ara pretty apt to keep all lawa. Ho
who lovea you will not harm you or your
family. It binds him from all evil and
stimulates In him all good.
" I know of nothing mora important to a
Christian than bis relation to money,, be
W praacbar or layman, brother or sister.
Borne of the men whom the world lists
among Its greatest have been debtors.
OIlveT Goldsmith could neither pay his
rent nnr his milkman; Pitt, chancellor of
the exchequer of Great Britain.- had his
own affairs hopelessly Involved; Daniel
Webster could talk about the national debt
and suggest good plnns concerning it, but
he could not pay his own debts.
"But. at the same time, I don't know
of anything that causes such a curse In
the world as not to be able to take care of
one's own business. The words of scripture,
'Be diligent In business; fervent in spirit.'
are very true. I don't think anyone has
the right to sit down and say "God will
take care of me.' The Lord has never
blessed ws unless we combined Industry
with prayer. If we prayed and prayed only
Ood merely looked on. but If we lent our
brains and our hands and our best efforts
He helped ua."
FORCES THAT DETERMINE PESTIST
Professor Fordyce of Wesleyan tal
erslty Talks oa the "nbjert.
Charlea Fordyce, A. M . Fh.D., professor
of soology and dean of the College of Lib
eral Arts in the Nebraska Wesleyan uni
versity, lectured Bunday evening at the
P'lrst Methodist church In this city on the
suhjoct, "The Forces that Determine Des
tiny." His address was largely for the
benefit of the younger people and tho
church waa well filled.
"You can alwaya tell the character of a
people by the character of the land they
occupy. The rugged shores of Norway in
dicate that the people ara of a rugged char
acter and scorn danger. Cross the Baltic
and the laxy watera that glide noiselessly
along chiiw that the people also are slug
gish. Go to the Mediterranean and again
you will find a different people; the sky is
ature blue and the water crystal clear anl
to this beautiful cllm! the songsters go for
inspiration.
"Every nation yields to its surroundings,
and so also does the Individual. David was
reared In a beautiful home and Absalom
was the son of a mother not a Christian.
On his ear never fell the sweet songs from
a Christian mother. All children should be
fortified by the Influences of a Christian
home. David was too busy to give atten
tion to the training of his children. He
was proud of his intelligent child, but all
that he could do was to say, "Here is
pltnty of money." This was the worst
thing that he could do, for tho boy's nights
were spent In the banquet hall.
"The weaker the body the more It com
mands, and the stronger the body the more
It obeya. Tho highest Intellects and the
strongest emotions are found In the strong
est bodies. The young man or woman who
weakens the body has taken the first step
toward degeneration. Wines and late sup
pers will wreck the strongest constitutions
and characters."
One of the incidental points made by
Prof. Fordyce was that the American peo
ple are dissipating their physical energy
by the lack of proper sleep at night.
SPIRIT OF SACRIFICE IS SEEDED
Director of Baptist Gospel Car Ser
monises on the Right Spirit.
Rev. C. H. Rust of the American Baptist
Publishing society occupied the pulpit at
the First Baptist church Sunday and will
continue to do so for the next three Sun
days during the vsacatlon of the pastor. Mr.
Rust has charge of the gospel car, "Glad
Tidings," and la a very fluent and forceful
speaker. ,
"Renew a right spirit within me." The
Importance of this Is apparent to all who
realize that the unseen character of a man
la what determines his character. What we
are is more Important than what we do.
Many failures In accomplishment have been
successes In spirit. What is the spirit
which actuates you In your aggressiveness?
It la true that it la possible to do a very
commendable work la tha wrong spirit. It
is right that even by atrlfe tha gospel Is
spread. It Is possible to be loyal to truth
In the wrpng spirit. Doctrine without a
Christlike spirit la dead. Individual con
viction la needed today, yet we must love
those who differ with us.
The true spirit of the church Is the Holy
Spirit. The truest name for a church is
the 'most spiritual church." The Holy Spirit
reveals Itself In three ways by sympathy,
forgiveness and sacrifice. The church has
power through sympathy second to no
other power in the world. The lack of sym
pathy often causes mlsjudgment. It Is
right that we should lead double lives and
It Is right that we ahould keep our heart
aches concealed. The spirit of forgiveness
should always prevail, for we are often in
a position to ask forgiveness from othera.
"The world Is built upon sacrifices. Our
every day life Is' full of sacrifices and all
the way through the climax of manhood
life Is built upon sacrifices."
KRUG PARK HAS A BIG CROWD
Bandar Attendaneo Well Pleaaed by
tho Attractions Offered oa
tho Hill Top.
Last night Kruk Park closed Its meta
phorical doors on aa large and well pleaaed
a Sunday crowd aa has bewi within the park
walls thla season. The entire program of
events waa carried out without a hitch In
any part from start to finish. Tha two
principal eventa on'' the program of tha day
were the slide for life by Harry Sells, and
Prof. Waldorf Hall's wonderfully thrilling
baloon ascension and parachute drop. Mr.
Sella climbed to the highest point of the
125-foot flagpole and, hanging by hla teeth,
glided the entire distance on a wire
grounded fully 1.200 feet distant from the
starting point. Prof. Hall's balloon waa
put up in the air on athedule time and the
wind carried It down towards Omaha, light
ing Just the other side of Dodge street.
The moving- piotures of the life of Christ
were handled in a masterly manner and
the audience assembled completely filled the
benches devoted to this exhibition. Thla la
one of the most popular featurea of thla
most popular resort. Wonderland and the
roller coaater were running for a largely
Increased business all day. The laughing
gallery, so often described as a "cure for
the blues." handled all the patients pre
Renting themselves, and the roars of
laughter emanating therefrom were prac
tically continuous. The merry-go-round,
novelty gallery, ball racks and gypsy camp
held their own crowda all day. Everyono
appeared both satisfied and pleaaed with
the day s fun, .while the happy shouts of
the little ones aa they disported themselves
with the Mexican burros and Shetland
ponies were good to hear.
The Royal Canadian band rendered an
other of those splendid programs and the
audience waa most appreciative of the mu-
slc furnished by Bandmaster Finn and his
followers.

MONSTER MASS MEETING - FOR MEN
Mlsa Ellen M. Stone Addresses Gather
Ins; of Women Henry W. Wllber
Talks of Greed and
Graft.
BALTtMORE. July ".-Nothing, perhaps
could give a more Impressive Idea of the
Interest aroused In this city by the Chris
tian Endeavor convention, which closes
tomorrow 'right, than the fact that spe
cial convention services at which sermons
were delivered by some of the clergymen
among the visiting delegates, were held
this morning In seventy-five churches of
various denominations and at night twenty
one consecration services were held simul
taneously In as many churches and that in
every case the size of the audience was
limited only by the capacity of the build
ing. In addition In the afternoon a monater
meeting for men was held at Armory hall,
at which Rev. Charles Stelael of Chicago
and Rev! W. E. Blederwolf of Montlcello,
Ind., were the speakers, and during which
300 men professed conversion, and at the
Lyrlo Mrs. James L. Hill of Salem, Mass.,
presided over a meeting for women which
crowded the building. At this meeting the
principal address was delivered by Miss
Ellen M. Stone of Macedonia, who, among
other things said that In Turkey, where,
according to the speaker, the government
will not put down the brigands, it Is pos
sible for such experiences to take place aa
was hers.
Other afternoon meetings were held at
Harlem Avenue Christian church, where
prison Christian Endeavor was discussed
by Chaplain A. O. Gates of the Kansas
Industrial reformatory and othera, and at
the Associate Congregational church, where
a boys' and girls' meeting was addressed
by Rev. Carey Bonner of London, England.
Greed and Graft.
The principal meeting of the evening
was held at the Lyric, which waa crowded
for the second time today. Becretary Von
Ogden Vogt of Boston presided and the
first speaker was Henry W. Wllber of
Philadelphia, who, taking as hla text "In
iquitous Siamese Twins," said:
Nearly everybody outside the ranks of
the Christian Endeavorers fancies that
the American Idea In government and what
we are pleased to call American civilization
ride safely and finished on the high tide
of lasting success. But popular superficial
oirfnlon at this point is more than half
wrong.
Up to date our country has been simply
splendidly victorious over its obstacles and
adversities. It Is now on the borderland,
if not In the midst of Its testing time. Greed
and graft mav preside as a death'a head
in the midst of the feast of municipal gov
ernment and still the question that deep
answers to deep and asks of the ordinary
citizen is, What are you going to do about
it?
The conspiring corruptlonlst who uses an
indifferent and venal citizenship to give him
power In the primaries and potency in the
municipal or the larger legislature, cannot
alone imperil or Impair free government.
To render him unable to steal or buy po
litical victories a more morally virile cit
izenship must approach the ballot box with
the confidence of a sovereign and the con
cerned conscience of a. serving patriot.
Men without noison in their bodies and
disease microbes In their blood, without the
canker of vice In the heart and the consum
ing fire of abnormal appetite in their per
sons, may arise superior to poverty, may
avert Industrial disaster, may make the
despot and the demagogue cease from
troubling. ,
Two vices today lay siege to physical
health and moral vigor, and feed and fat
ten the third and thirty-third vice which
makes so many of the electorate of the
land mere clay In the hands of the schem
ing politician and the selfish tlme-eerver.
They both tend to debauch the person and
drain the purse of the citizen, rendering
him industrially, physically and morally
Impecunious. One of these vices takes the
fresh, clean-vlssged and rosy-cheeked
youth, tans his cuticle on the outside, mak
ing him smoke and spit his manhood away,
drying up the life Juices until the horse
leech of a vitiated appetite cries for more
and stronger stimulants and drives him
from the cigarette to the beer schooner,
from a street smoker to a saloon loafer.
The descent Is thus easy from the home
to the grogshop; from the attitude of
manly self-respect to a condition of de
pendence upon boon companlona, broken
reeds like himself, from whom sane civic
action and concerned moral conduct are
hardly to be expected.
Other speakers were Dr. Mary Wood Al
len of Ann Arbor, Mich.; Rev. R. C. Wiley
of Pittsburg, Pa., and Rev. Samuel Mc
Naugher, S. I. B., of Cambridge, Mass.
EPW0RTH LEAGUE ADJOURNS

International convention of the Epworth
league closed tonight ' with' meetings In
the downtown churchea and auditoriums,
at which waa read the report of the com
mittee on resolutions previously adopted
by the board of control, the governing body
of tha league. The report refers to. the
Smoot case aa follows:
Inasmuch as Reed Smoot, senator-elect
of the United States from the stute of
I tah, Is subservient to authority that Is
antagonistic to the purity and Integrity of
the American home and subversive of the
laws of the land, by reason of his official
reluMon to the Mormon hierarchy, we ear
nestly and aolemnly protest against hla
admission to a seat In the supreme legis
lature of the nation and we urge upon
congress the need of passing laws making
It an Impossibility for representatives or
such a treason-working system to obtain
seats In the legislative bodies of the United
States. And we urge a constitutional amend
ment prohibiting polygamy or plural mar
riages witnin me territory 01 me umtea
States.
The report favors a uniform divorce law,
heartily commends the work of the Na
tional Bureau of Reform, the Lord's Day
Alliance of Canada and similar organiza
tions, pledges incessant warfare against all
forma of intemperance and expresses grati
fication at the progress of the work of the
Anti-Saloon League of -the United States
and Canada, declares uncompromising op
position to the sale of Intoxicants In the
army canteen and endorses the Hepburn
Dolllver bill Tor the prevention of Inter

press sympathy for Bishop Joyce of St.
Paul, whose Illness prevented his attend
ance at the convention.

AT THE PLAY HOUSES
Ferris Stork Company at the Boyd.
Last night the Ferris Stock company pre
sented "The Belle of Richmond" to one of
the largest audiences of the season. This
piece, which was first offered here by this
company last season. Is a very good ex
ample of how Interesting a play a skilled
workman can build from very scanty ma
terial. Sidney Toler, the author, la an
actor of experience and knowa very well
how to value a situation as wall as how to
achieve a result. His piece Is neither clever
nor brilliant, but It is one of Interest and
one whose action does no violence to com
mon sense or the ordinary conceptions of
life. Its every Incident Is one that might
easily have happened, and all are put to
gether with the most convincing plausi
bility. Its characters are well conceived
and Intelligently worked out, and the whole
Is most satisfying. The company is well
located In the cast, the only one out of the
picture being Miss Carmontelle, who
bravely assumes the long frock coat and
black trousers of an old negro servitor, but
whose physical qualifications for the role
are not quite equal to hef willingness to
help out. She has a long and rather touch
ing apeech In the last act, which Is deliv
ered with a pathetic dignity, and this won
her, a good round of applause, last night.
Miss Pavey Is very sweet as the heroine
and the others assist In making the play go
well. It will be the bill until after Wednes
day, with the. customary matinee on
Wednesday afternoon.
ENDERS OBJECTS TO BATHERS
Dairyman at Fifth and Nicholas

which they knocked the bottoms from and
went home by this means. The clothing
was taken to the station and Is awaiting

CANADA'S BANKING SYSTEM

SECURITY FOR NOTES AND DEPOSITORS

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WINNIPEG, Man, July ".-(Special.)
The agitation which haa been going on
for a number of years In the United States
looking to a modification or a change In
the national banking lawa of our country
Is not without warrant. If one takes Into
consideration the banking laws of the Do
minion of Canada. During my visit to
Winnipeg I had occasion to talk with the
cashier of the Eastern Township bank, the
headquarters of which are at Sherbrook,
Quebec, and so Interesting and instructive
were the facts obtained from him regarding
the banking lawa of Canada that I am im
pressed to give their operation serloua con
sideration. So far as elasticity goes and general
safety for noteholders and depositors Is
concerned, Canada can well lay claim. In
my Judgment, to having the best banking
system on the continent. There are thirty
three banks chartered by the Dominion
government and these have over l.WO
branches located throughout the whole Do
minion. Some of the larger banks have
from sixty to eighty branches. The Bank
of Montreal Is the strongest, having a
capital of 110,000,000 and a "refit" or aurplua
of $10,606,000. These charter! banks are
all In the provinces of Quebec, Ontario and
the maritime provinces. There are none on
the Pacific coast.
Deposit with Government.
Each-bank ta authorised to Issue currency
to the full amount of Its unimpaired cap
ital. In bills of the denomination of 15 and
Its multiples. This circulation Is guar
anteed by a deposit with the government
derived from 6 per cent of the average cir
culation. Thus a bank with an average
circulation of $2,000,000 keepa on deposit
with the government $200,000, on which the
government, having use for the money,
paya S per cent interest. Thua a deposit
of 5 per cent of the total bank circulation,
which is estimated at about $5,000,000, forms
a sufficient guarantee to the noteholders
of any bank which may fall. Moreover
the stockholders In all chartered banks are
liable for double the amount of their stock.
When a bank is unable to pay tta bllla In
gold the fund held by the government Is
drawn on until final payment is made, these
bills drawing Interest at per cent. It thus
often happens that such bills are at a
premium when finally paid. The bllla are
also a first charge on all the assets of
the banks. The banks are required by law
to maintain a reserve of not less than 40
per cent of their cash resources In Do
minion bills.
The Dominion currency resembles the
greenbacks of the United States. It Is
Issued in denominations of $1, $2 and $4
for general circulation, the banks issuing
the larger denominations from $5 up for
exchange. The larger denominations are of
two sorts, however those for general cir
culation and those for settling exchange
between the banks. The latter denomina
tions are not negotiable in ordinary tran
sactions, and are only payable to a char
tered bank. . Thla obviates losses by rob
bery, aa the big bills would be absolutely
worthless to -the thieves.
Canada does not have a mint, but one Is
Shortly to be established. The Dominion
has no gold coins, the English sovereign
and the American $5 piece, the latter at the
rate of $4.86H, are used In business transac
tions. The subsidiary coins of the denomi
nations of E, 10, 26 and 50 cents ara coined
In England. There are no silver collars
coined and nickel Is not used, copper cents
being the only coins except the silver.
Redemption of Notes.
The notes of the chartered banks are
only redeemable at the head offices and not
at the branches, except when the latter
may see fit to do so. The system of branch
banks makes it possible to transfer funds
from sections where they are not In demand
to othera where a demand may exist, auch
as for the moving of crops in the western
territories.
While the Eastern Townships bank may
have a dozen branches, only the head bank
Issues banknotes, and they carry the name
of the Eastern Townships bank of Bher
brook. The branch bank of Winnipeg and
those at other places are given so much
money to do business with. The cashier
and the clerks, note tellers and bookkeepers
are salaried employes, and a continuous
service of ten years and upward glvea the
said employe a pension on retirement. Thus
a competency is assured the faithful em
ploye and on hla death his widow receives
a pension graded according to the years of
service of her husband. Not only does the
Dominion government keep a check upon
the, banks and their branches, but auditors
of the several chartered banks make vls'.ia
to all the banks much aa our national bank
examiners do. A failed bank In the
Dominion of Canada Is an almost unheard
of thing. The people have the utmost
confidence in their banking laws and they
would not change to the laws of the United
States for any consideration, for they be
lieve that the Dominion laws, which ara a
draft of the old Scotch ways of banking,
modified to the uses of tha present time,
are superior.
Transfer of Money Facilitated.
Another argument In favor of the branch
banking system as It is working out In '
Canada Is that It furnishes a perfect agency
for the easy transfer of the accumulated
funds of the older regions, where capital Is
plenty and new uses for It are few, to re
gions where capital Is scarce and new uses
for It are many. In a large part of eastern
Canada Industry Is stagnant and capital
has difficulty in finding profitable Invest
ment. In western Canada, particularly In
the provinces of Manitoba and Saskatche
wan and the northwest provinces. Industry
Is active and thrilling with new life, and
ambition and the opportunities for the In
vestment of capital are many.
It Is alleged against the branch bank 1
aystem that as the local managers, and
they call them managers Instead of cash- j
lers, are not bank proprietors, and may
at any time be moved to some other loca- I
tlon, that as their funds are not local, but
foreign funds, they are not likely to take
the keen Interest in the development of
their respective communities that the man
agers of independent Individual banks are
likely to take. But, as a matter of fact,
the local banker Is very apt to be the
moving aplrit and promoter In starting
Industries in his community and In indu
cing capital to seek Investment there. Very
likely his whole private fortune and all of
his Interests are bound up In hla ow town
and the tributary country, hence when he
Is working for himself he Is working for
his town, and when he Is working for the
town ha la working for himself.
