THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1005. MICKEY TO IDE YOUNG MEN y . QoTtrnsr k&lrtmt Wsilijn Brotherhood t Ifwtrd Stmt Chnrck. CHARACTER Of JOHN WESLEY A MODEL Bl.fct Mre B Irf1rJ Thmm Mrbti, a.nd aa HoumI Xmm Thmm Any Other Earthly acc. Hon, J. H. Mickey. g-ovwrnor of Nebraska, addreaned the WeKleyan Brotherhood at the Reward Street Methodist church Sunday night, and after the sermon held a short reception. The services were held in the Sabbath school room of the church and every available seat was filled. The volun teer eholr, under Mr. Daniels, was amlated by the Kountte Memorial Mala quartet. tJovernor Mlt'key took for his theme the life of John Wesley and drew many strong lxesons from his character and that of his mother and father. II said: "If you pray while 1 talk God will help to make this a profitable meet Ins; . To study the Ufa of Wesley laada one to consider what constl tues a man. The prophets of old spoke of the coming of Cnrlat as a stone from the mountains which would ltd the earth. God says He breathed Into man the breath of life and he became a llvin soul. We are responsible for our fellow men and we have a large Influence for good If we but exer cise that Influence. "The village of Epworth Is world-renowned because It was the birthplace of a man, John Wesley. It Is rare. Indeed, for a mere man to give celebrity to his birth place. When goodness and greatness are united in a man he is bound to be endeared to Ills acquaintances HiMory shows that Wesley was a marked man of his age. His father, Samuel, came of good stock, his father and grandfather being heroic minis ters. It' Is the ruination of more young men than anything else to have something bestowed, upon them which they have not earned.- It Is often the destruction of a man's character to have money willed to him. If Hyde had been raised as hit father was he would never have helped to rob the Equitablo, It Ts no shame to be poor. It is far better to pessens ! at the end of your life and to have the satisfaction that you have earned that yourself. "God expects you and me to be me. I could lose my religion at a banquet table In a minute if I could forget God. Think of the record of John Brawn; You hear, hli praises sung on all rides und his picture Is hung in prominent places. He died for defying the laws and doing what he thought was right. ' He new slavery was wrong and he aided the negroes In vlolutlng the laws. He was hanged, but John Brown was right and the law was wrong. Those who stand for the advancement of their fellow men will always win. "We are 'all of times tieset with worries, but ofllines without cause. If Rifted to the bottom. Many unpleasant things are said about me, but why should I stop and worry when people say things about me which I know are untrue?" LORD'S WORK BY UIXBLE HANDS The t'nknowa Seventy - Worked as Effectively the Great Twelve. Rev. T. I Ketman of Chicago, district ecretary of the American Baptist Publica tion society for the aorthwestern district, and ten years ago pastor Cjf the First Bap tist church of Omaha, occupied the pulpit of Imraanuel Baptist church Sunday morn ing. He spoke from the text Luke x:l-J, and aid In part: ...... "The Lord sent forth two groups of dis ciples, one of twelve and another of sev enty. The names of twelve are known t ths entire Christian world and have been perpetuated in the names of churches, hos pitals and cities. The names of the seventy r unknown, but tbelr work was the same. They visited the sick, and though their 'Work was humble it was the work of the Master. When tHey returned He said to them: "Rejoice not In what ye have done (or My sake, but rathe that your names hall be written In heaven.' "We cannot all be generals. The officers do not do the hard fighting. It Is the sol diers of the ranks the seventy that do what the officers command. The redemption Cf the world must be accomplished not by the work of the twelve, but by the seventy who work In the Held everywhere. "When a woman marries she yields up her name to her busband, and should their offspring become great and famous It Is in the name of their father. The mother's name Is unknown) although It Is her work that has chiefly wrought the good that Is In men. Women ere ef the unknown seventy. WHY DOCTORS FAIL AKD MRS.

No physician in the world has had such a training, or has such an amount of information at hand to asaiat In the treatment of all kinds of female ills, from the simplest local irritation to the most complicated womb diseases.

TBI BITE TO BISHOP rUBKMI Lessen ef lamented Prelate's ait laeeatlve to Kplrltaal Effort. Services of a "harvest home" nature and also to celebrate the resumption of ser vices In the msln part of the cathedral after It had been In the hands of painters and decorators for several weeks, were held yesterday morning at Trinity cathe dral. Owing to sickness In the family of the contractor the adornments are not yet quite complete, but only a person fa miliar with the plans would know the dif ference. The prevailing tint of the new Interior Is dark green, relieved by gold. The effect Is artistic and restful. For the Sunday services the altars were dressed with sheafs of wheat and other fruits of the Held, and special music was rendered. The offering taken up was ap plied to the Bishop Clarkson Memorial hos pital fund. Dean Beecher made a special appeal for generous contributions and the amount donated was large, thotigh not an nounced In figures. In his sermon Dean Beeoher said: "It gives us gratitude and a feeling of pleasure to worship again In our accustomed places In the church we so dearly love. There Is no word In the language that conveys more meaning and real sentiment of human life than the word 'home.' We who enjoy the conveniences of this beautiful structure should not forget and fall to appreciate the fact that this cathedral parish occupies a very prominent part In the history of Nebraska. Many of the men most closely identified with the legislation and govern mental councils of the early days were enrollled on our parish books. The parish reaches back to the days when the first settlements were made along the banks of the Missouri, when most of the people lived In tents and buffalo roamed the plains. "It was on July IS, 18B6, that the first Episcopal services in the territory were held on Ninth street, between Douglas and Farnam. Six persons were confirmed at this service and action was taken which remilted In the organisation of Trinity parish. "The thought I wish to emphasize and Impress In your minds this morning Is that so plainly expressed In the sacred text. 'Remember the days of old, and tho years of the generations that are gone.' In the struggle for material and political things there Is danger thnt the value of the past, brief as ,U Is In Nebraska, may be lost. The young men of today are concentrating their thoughts and are directing their edu cational Interests more and more on schemes and plans for- rapid commercial advancement and political preferment with almost total Indifference to the higher spiritual Interests of the soul. Many are gradually losing hold of the anchor of faith and their spiritual nature Is becom ing warped and withered. The accumula tion of wisdom Is not responsible for the Ions of faith, for the wisest and most learned have believed. The-fruits of false worship of lato are being revealed in their awful hldeousness. 'There Is one name written In the stones of this cathedral which should remain an ever dauntless spirit. Inspiring new life and new energy In us all. Those of you who knew him face to face and we who know him by Ms spiritual life truthfully can say that the name, the thought, the energy, seal and devotion he transmitted everywhere across these plains In the early days, the presence, the unfaltering faith and unselfish labors of Robert Harper Clarkson will live forever In the life of this diocese. WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH CHRIST? Dr. Stela Preaches ea the Irrepressi ble Qnerttoa of the Ace. Rev. F. S. Bteln took for the subject of his sermon St the vesper service at St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church "The Irrepressible Question." He said In part: "The textfor my sermon Is found In Matthews xxvll. C What shall I do with Jesus, which Is called the Chrirtf That question gave great anxiety to Pontius Pilate when the rulers of the Jews were urging him to get rid of Jesus. It should give serious pause to all who live under the benign Influences of Christianity today. On the Lord's day the wheels of commerce slow down and millions lay aside their dally vocations , to find comfort. Inspiration, help and education in the shadow of the sanctuary. Its farreaehlng Influence can not be estimated. So mightily has the Son of Jod Impressed Himself upon the nations that He shape" the very commerce of the world. The real secret of a happy. Joyous' and ever youthful life Is In doing and planning for others. This Is the philosophy of life which the Savior has taugni us Dy precepi snd example, and we And a perfeet Illus tration of It In our Christmas shopping and gift giving.

A feature of the services at the Second Presbyterian church Sunday evening was the singing of the choir soloist. MUs Irma Egan. Rev. Dr. Burdlck preached on "The Certainty of the Judgment." using Paul's addresa to the Athenians as a baste, saying: This was a new doctrine to tbeae people with all their knowleiige and refinement and It failed to be of tasting interest to tlieni but it is to the wurlil. There is in His words basis for this belief and there urn four rfrtaintles; the certainty of Judgment. God has proclaimed It and it is so Important mat oniy ne iiinimu miuns when it la to be. The" resurrection of Christ proves the fact. The Athenians steelud their hearts aicainst this fact and today there are three claaaea, aa then, those who receive this truth, tho who resppct it and those who procrastinate. Christ spoku of the Judgment day but even He does not know when It is to be, but it will be. Another certainty is It will be universal, all men shall be Judged even to their idle thouKhts. The third certainty Is tiiat rtKhteouMnesa will be the basis of the Judg ment, all shall have credit for all they deserve. It is no light thing to live for life la no holiday nor a prearation for a holiday and they who ' kill time" must suffer the penalty and one of tha most im portant factors in the verdict is now we have believed as retards Christ. Faith in Hlin will be found essential. The fourth certainty ia Jesus Christ will be our Judge. He stands before the bar of our Judgment now. Then we shall stand before His bar.

HOW THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN Est. Newton Vsan, Pastor of Unit (.birch, Writes a Book. OLD TRADITIONS MERCILESSLY ASSAILED Aathor of the fewest Sataral History of the Bible. Dissects Its IOnx-Revered Features Incisively. For several years past Rev. Newton Mann of I'nlty church, Omaha, has devoted hlm rolf to a series of lectures on "The History of the Bible." These lectures he has care fully edited and now publishes In an at tractive volume of 381 pages. He has given to his work the title: "The Evolution of a Great Literature," to which he has ap pend) u a helpful index. The book has Just been Issued by James H. West Company, publishers of Boston, and can be had of the booksellers. The Importance of such a con tribution to the serious discussion of vital questions of belief makes the publication one of exceeding Interest, and the further fact that Its scholarly author has been for so many years Identified with our own com munity and with a leading church deserves for the work an extended review. At the outset Mr. Mann states his posi tion, to treat the Bible as the surviving relielous literature of an ancient people. He discards entirely its divine Inspiration and revelation and deals with the subject purely us a scientific study. Forewarned of Mr. Mann's attHudc. we well know that the scientific Investigator has no reverence for tradition. Tradition Is Discounted. lie lays rough hands on accepted doc trines. Whether he Scratches tho rocks of the earth for evidence of ltx age, or surveys the stars of the heavens to determine the constitution of the universe, with critical eye and with mathematical precision he measures each step of his way. He Is more, over a respecter of ho person, and many of the hallowed traditions of the past crumbl" to dust under his microscopic analysis. The Bible, which the human race' for ages has accepted on faith, has not escased the burrowinir of tht. scientific mole, sntlsflqd with nothing If not the truth. Where scien tific Investigation is applied to the Book of Books, it is called, tn the language of the learned, "The Higher Criticism." During the last half century European and Ameri can scholars have been eager' rivals In searching the scriptures and in applying the rules of historical criticism. Mr. Mann has been a close student of them all, and ln his carefully written book sets up no claim to originality. His pur pose is to present for the general reader the main conclusions of advanced scholar ship touching the composition of the vari ous parts of the Bible, both of the Old Rnd New Testament, and to place In historical relation, as near as can be done, the events therein narrated. In this he has succeeded admirably. The book ia both Interesting and suggestive. Malilnar of Bible Is Dlaarramuied. In a simple narrative style the story of the making of the Bible Is told, or, as Mr. Mann calls It, "The Natural History of the Jewish and Christian Scriptures." In .which Is traced step by step the evolution of a great literature. Written In a. pleasing manner, easily understood, the bonk never theless keeps in sight the pointy of view of the scientist a-id not of. the theologian. Something of this kind has long been needed for the general reader. .' The work appeals to reason and confirms the experiences of men as one knows his tory and human life. It explains the ap parent Inconsistencies and contradictions found In the Bible, which have puxzled theologians for ages. It in,. Indeed, a guide for the perplexed. And the Bible student, whether or not he agrees with the author, will at least have the Scriptures from a new point of view. Infallibility for the book Is not claimed. Further research and In quiry will, of course, correct errors snd make more certain what Is now Vague or questioned. With the Instinct of the naturalist,' the author dissects the Bible tn as cold-blooded a manner as a physician dissects a rabbit. It may Jar one's nerves to be told that David was an Inexorable barbarian and Solomon an- eastern despot, who never wrote a line of the Bible; that the laws of Moses were modeled on the code of Ham murabi, king of Babylon; that Jonah is a dash of Action; that Esther Is a myth, and like Daniel and many other revered stories of the Bible, was written for a purpose by some unknown writer centuries after the events were supposed to have happened. In other words, Jonah, Esther and Daniel were works of fiction written during the trouble some times of the Greek domination and Maccaheean revolt for Independence, Just as "Cncle Tom's Cabin" was a work of fic tion written In much later times fo&.a pur pose, aa a popular protest against slavery. I'ses Historical Methods. The quarrel with Mr. Mann over these things Is to quarrel with the geologist and with the astronomer for telling us the age of the earth. And to find fault with him Is to find fault with historical Investigation which finds the Scotch or Irish gentleman of the twentieth century to be a lineal de scendant of the long-haird savage man sacrificing Druids. The historical method has been rengnlz1 as the only proper and sensible wsy to study the development of civilisation, whether that of Greece or of Rome or of England, or of any other peo ple ancient or modern: and the question naturally suggests Itself In this age. Why should the Scriptures sot be searched with the same light? It cannot lessen the rever ence for the Bible to know that it is the work of many hands and tells of the strug gles of man for higher Ideals and nobler conception of life and duty to his fellows. It rather strengthens one's respect for humsn nature to learn how man has been able In the course of the long centuries to lift himself gradually above brute creation. This process is called evolution, and evolu tion Is denned as the growth of lower to higher forms. It Is a law of nature. It governs the formation of worlds, of plants, of animals and of mind. It Is an orderly development from the simple to the com plex, from the crude to the refined. It Is a law which has existed from all time, and will exist to the end of time. The history of the Bible read in this way is the history of the development of spiritual life, and the God-idea, covering perhaps 1,500 years of growth. Mr. Mann takes up In detail thia story, beginning with the Jew, st first a tribal people known as Hebrews: that la to say, the "up-stream-people," when they turned from the fetish worship of many gods, with all the horrible bloody ceremonies of primitive man I nnd human crlflf.. t n V. wahKIa ' . i - -. - " " w . -1 1 1 jj v4 Lll tribal-god, Jehovah. From the time of the worship of Jehovah, the Hebrew came to be known as the Jew. But Jehovah was for s long time only one suiung other gods worshiped by the Jewa. After a while Jehovah alone Is worshiped and to Hlin alone la offered the burnt sacrifices. In the course of time the conception of God changes with the advancing dvUUatloa of the Jew. His God-idea grew and expanded by contact with Egyptian. Persian, Baby lonian, Greek and Roman civilisations. God, ss finally conceived, la no longer s God of hosts battling with the' Jews' enemies and dealing only with His favored nation, aa pictured in the primitive times. God la recognlxed sa so universal power . snd providence, apprehensible to the In (dividual, supreme over nature. and run. revealed In least and ln greatest things; In might Irresistible, In essence unsearchable. The Jew's final t-onceptlon of Ood. and the Jew's Idea of the worth and dignity of man as told In Job snd expressed In the Froverbs, and In many of !he Psalms have come down to our times and to our own religions as the highest spiritual and phil osophic expression conceived In the brain of man. w Testament Analysed. Passing to the consideration of ihe New Testament, there Is no such gap of silence. says the author, between the writings of the two testaments as one may think, had 1 he only a canonical book to go by. The period of the Christian Era was one of more than usual literary activity. So much writing meant much thinking, and some of the thinking took a forward look. The , real distinction between Judaism and : Christianity Is not so much a principle as , a policy. The older faith never came to the j full consciousness of any mission to convert the world. It Is essentially the religion of a race, and works no propaganda. And. yet there are signs of the awakening of s I wider thought In the later centuries of the Jewish state. From the time of the Baby- I Ionian exile. no yenrs before Christ, lntl- I nations appear with growing frequency of a belief that the whole human race will eventually come to the service of God. Comparing the Old Testament with the New,, says Mr. Mann, there Is no change In the doctrine of God, but a continuation of the God-Idea which had grown In the minds of men for more than l.ono years. And this Is true because the writers of the New Testament were nothing If not Jews. The divine tenderness received more emphasis. The sermon on the Mount col lides here and there with the Pentateuch, but not with the Proverbs. Step by step through the centuries the growth of moral Ideas can be traced approaching the ethics of the New Testament. . Jeans a Strona Personality. As a literary production, the New Tes tament forms itself around a personality. There are four biographies of Jesus. In the Old Testament there is nothing that approaches a biography. In the New Testa ment there Is no verse, while In the Old Testament there Is almost as much verse as prose. While muny of the later prophets of the Old Testament wrote out their words, the Prophet of Nazareth wrote nothing. Neither' does It appear 4hat He instructed anyone to commit His sayings to writing. The book of Acts, which un dertakes to narrate the doings of the apostles, was not written, according to" latest authority, until about 10U years after the death of Jesus. So that the making of the written record, as it lias come to us, was left to a generation or more after Jesus. The probabilities are that fragments of writings made by contemporaries touch ing Jesus, Ills word and His work were In existence, and gospel writers who wrote lu the ' name of the apostles knit these "sayings of Jesus" together with oral tra ditions and later legends Into a connected story. The .voluminous writings attributed to Paul were not Paul's ut all, but were the work of a group of writers, some of whom were Jews, but many probably Greek converts, following each other, liv ing some m years after Christ. It was mainly thrbugh the Pauline writers and their teachings that, the church acquired a theology of its own, and the followers of Christ, .then becoming known as Chris tians, parted company with the Jewa as a distinct religious belief. The transition from the early simple faith, as described by Mark, to the complex theology of Paul, Mr. Mann calls a remarkable development. The movement which made of the gospels a system,, of thought and a set of dogmas, on the acceptance ,pf which salvation la conditioned, wa, a, .prodigious step. Paul Intsm became the cornerstone of Christian theology. It was tl)e gospel most readily acceptable to' the Roman world, allying Itself most naturally, with a pomp of cere mony dear to the hearts of converts from Greek and Roman paganism, and, better than the simple original gospels could have done, served the age ln which It flourished. After sixteen hundred years of such In fluence , the effort of Christianity at the present .day, continues the writer, is to begin anew with the teachings of Jesus. Away from the doctrines of Paul and back ! to the religion of Christ Is the cry. But the task of making the Christian religion appear to be a life and not a belief Is rendered enormously difficult by tho age long theology derived from Paul. ('banged Conception of the Bible. Mr. Mann's interesting study closes with these words: Critical studies do not change the Bible In Itself; they change our historical ami subjective conception of it, and not In a way to Involve any such loss as the itlnilii conservative is apt to think. After the most searching studies all precious things are there that ever were there high thoughts about God, the clear voice of conscience, the vision of human brother hood, the exaltation of spiritual Hbove ma terial values: all are there as before, how ever accompanied by the errors and mis conceptions of early human experience. Our only loss Is lack of an ancient and Impos ing delusion as to how the teachings came there. The question Is liberty liberty to choose and to follow the good. As a parting word, it is safe to say, how ever, that "The Evolution of a Great Liter ature," will not be adopted as a textbook for orthodox Sunday schools for some time to come at least. CHARLES S ELGUTTER. HORSE KILLED ON RUN JQ FIRE Blase at Esaers-O'Fly na Bos factory on Sunday Cause of Serlooa Accident. Fire of mysterious origin caused a loss of something like $10,000 at the Eggers O'FIyng box factory. Fifteenth and Leaven worth streets, yesterday afternoon. During the run to the fire a dramatic incident oc curred at Sixteenth and Jackson streets, where Thomas Roehford. a member of the department, sustained a broken arm and Prince, one of the best horses In the depart ment, waa fatally Injured and had to be shot. The lire at the Eggers-O'FIyng plant started In the basement near some printing presses. No member of the firm can ad vance any theory as to the origin. The damage was mostly from water and will run heavy owing to the nature of the stock. The Eggers-O'FIyng company owns the building. The loss is covered by insur ance. The team of which Prince waa one was drawing the heavy steam fire engine and was driven by Assistant Engineer Thomas Roehford. the regular driver being absent st dinner at the time ot the alarm. The engine had turned the corner of Howard street on Sixteenth and waa speeding south on Sixteenth when Just st the intersection of Jackson and Sixteenth the off horse, a black, stepped Into a hole in the pavement and slipped and fell, striking his mate, a fin sorrel, snd knocking him off hjs feet. The velocity with which the heavy engine was going forced the struggling horses to the curb, where the sorrel struck a tele phone pole with tremendous force and driv ing the engine onto him. The edge of the sharp steel dashboard struck the horse fairly tn the back and side, cutting s frightful wound twelve or fifteen Inches ln length snd several Inches deep. The black horse escaped Injury, but the terrific Im pact threw the driver from the engine, breaking his left arm and producing other bruises. Reehford naa taken to his home and h e Injuries cared for by Dr. Allison. The In jured horse was shot to put It out of its agony. The force with which the poor sal- msl was struck Is shown by the fact lhat the heavy steel dashbonrd and Its support are bent ar.d broken. Otherwise the engine was not particularly damsged. SINGS A SONG OF IRRIGATION Colorado Man, Formerly of Nebraska, la Rnthoalastle Over Reservoir on tenth Platte. A. V. S. Saunders, a former Nehrsskan. but now Interested In irrigation projects about Fort Morgan, Colo., and up about Julesburg and Sedgcwlck. gives a glowing account of the development of the new irrigation fields about Sedgcwlck In the South Platte country between Fort Morgan and Sedgewlck. He said: "A big Irrigation reservoir has Just been completed up there, and It will water a very fertile section of country along the north side of the South Platte, that has hitherto been given over to prairie dogs, cattle and sheep. The new town of Sedge wick promises to be one of the liveliest In that section, and In fact one of the best between Julesburg and Denver. The town Is named after the old fort that was lo lated four miles west of Old Julesburg of the stage coaching days. The country promises to become a veritable gnrden spot, and promises to become a strong rival to the North Platte country." Another Victim. of an accident.
