Most Be a Peraounl Ideal In All Work
to Inspire Beat Itesnlts.
Superintendent W. M. Davidson of the
public schools addressed a large audience
at the regular evening services of the
Castellar Street Presbyterian church last
night. His subject was "Service."
"To mako our work and effort of value
each one of us must have a personal Ideal
by which he gauges the affairs of himself
and others," said Mr. Davidson. "In the
purpose of life tho Ideal plays the highest 1
part. Therefore Ideals should be chosen
with care and realized aa nearly as possi
ble. Service with proper Ideals is much
like the great waste of time, owing to
the fact that people are not fitted for the
positions which they enter or assume.
"What I have to say In tills connection
of Ideals to the value of service Is

The special New Tear's service held at
Westminster l'l phI.) terlan church Sunday
evening was Krtd with a large attend
ance and was pm tlclpated In by ilev. H. G.
Herring of the First Congregational. Rev.
J. YV. Conley of the First Baptist and Rev.
K. H. Jenks i.f the First Presbyterian
churches. A sj.clal musical service was
rendered for the occasion. Rev. H. O. Her
ring was the first speaker, and took for his
theme "The Win k of the Lord In Human
Affairs." He said, In part:
The Ixird Is the great actor In th uni
verse, lie Is busy in human life, in our life.
Could we summarize our experiences of tne
past year we would not tlnd It uneventful,
but rplete with blessings and with some
of us the release from the bondage of id
health. Yet some of the best work l r Ood
has hcen done by those In misfortune. We
would llnd much for which to glorify Ood
ami i hriM fur what tliev have done for us.
The experiences of the past year Mid its
blessings will be un enlarged vision and In
spiration for the coming ear. Lt uk llnd
In it a new emancipation from the bondage
of sin. It Is not true that success Is adu
lated, but the criterion for measuring life
Is not In the achievement of success or fail
ure, but In our faithfulness to God's com
mands. I jet us rejoice that the shadows
that may have beset us at the outset of the
year have vanished, and thereby we can
give testimony of the grandnees of Go a
love and care. . We go into the new year
with hope. The experience of the past la
the argument of hope.
Dr. Conley was the next speaker. He
said;
What a wond'-rful thing Is the river of
time. Nations rise, Increase and fall. We
are borne on the Hood uf an irresistible tide;
we cHhtiot slop it. The years are ntnu we
lnaku them. The past year has hcen one
of a great variety of experiences. What
have we accomplished In tne way cf reli
gious experiences? What have we Uained?
It Is possible that the new year may not
be l mi- than the past. Yet Uiere Is no
school like the school of Christ. How
many examinations have we passed in
Christ's school'.' Are we learning mure of
lii.u'.' (i.nl is a patient teacher. If we fail
to learn it Is imt His fault. We should
abhor sin. Is there a growing abhorrence
In our lives of sin? Surely our conceptions
of sin today are lar more Intense than a
year ago. Have we grasped the profound
meaning and immeasurable Inlluence and
Importance of pr.ier? Have we wrougnt
valiantly und faithfully for Clod? How
many of us can say of the prayer meeting
ai.d Sunday tjchouls during tut' past year, ' I
was there"? Have iou luld the founda
tions In the past year for Ood a work for
the coming year?
Dr. Jenks followed, speaking of "Building
on the Past." He said:
From the past let us take courage for en
deavor for the future. God did not Intend
to let the past get in the way of progress,
but He la sweeping on for promise before
us. Life Is progressive. The Christian Ufa
Is its highest ex mplltlcation. Let the past
go. Let us press on. The great school,
alter all, is that of life. It disciplines
mind and heart and shapens the human
soul for its Immortal destiny. Let us do
better witli the new year. Uod has given
us the years to do with as we please.
Remember the past only by building on it.
The strongest Jin-n are those who passed
through the greatest misfortunes. The
great fact of our lives Is that we have ar
rived somewhere, not how we have arrived.
It makes no difference If we have raaJe
mistakes III the past If we are forgiven,
und Uod loves to forgive. The school of
life does not end witn seventy years; It Is
endless, extending through all eternity.
Therefore, rather than bo chained 10 tne
past, let us ever press onward.
Rev. T. V. Moore, pastor of Westminster,
spoke on the subject of "Choosing for the
Future." He said:
"Choose tills day whom ye shall serve."

tossed on a stormy sea. You will not

A deeply Interested audience crowded the
library room of the Young Men's Christian
association Sunday afternoon to hear J. P.
Bailey, state secretary, on "The Fatal
Sin." Jules Lumbard sang as a solo "I'm
the Child of a King." most effectively. Mr.
Bailey said in part:
"While sitting In front of a Uneoln bote!
some weeks ago and looking down the
street, I noticed a house that was Illumi
nated more than the ordinary, and also
that only men were entering. I went to
Ita vicinity and saw three young men, two
of whom wanted to enter that home of
hell. Tho th'.rd did not want to go in and
was about to turn away when a siren voice
attracted his attention. He looked back,
he hesitated, and he fell.
"Man la tempted when drawn away from
his better nature by his own desire, and
there Is no man who altogether escapes
temptation more or less iowerful. The
j greatest battle a young man ever fights
i la In his own breast, unknown to all the
world. The way he decides In that fight
will largely govern his life in the time
to come. VVe find that to young men Satur
day night is the great time of temptation,
when more harm is done than at any other
time. It la at such times that men should
be more on their guard than ever, when
I the relaxation comes from the struggle

I "The first chance for evil Is when a man
' Is enticed, the fatal step is when he yields
to the temptation and falls under the power
of the serpent. If you have yielded you
are under the black banner of death. Bin
cannot be weighed; there la nothing to
balance It by. Yet there la one who has
promised that though your sins are as
scarlet they shall be made white aa anow,
though they be as crimson they ahall be

your repentance. In the year to come pray
to Him for strength to meet and conquer
the temptations that may beset you,"

Iantcnaae of ew Birth.
Deaf and dumb residents of Omaha and
Council Bluffs assembled yesterday after
noon at Trinity cathedral to offer thanks
to the Creator for safe guidance during
the year that has passed and to express
hopes for greater blessings during the
new year. Although deprived of speech
and hearing, those who were drawn to
gether yesterday by the bonds of mutual
uftlictlon seemed none the less grateful
to Providence, but In fact much more
cheery and hopeful than some of God's
creatures who have full use of all the hu
man senses.
Rev. James H. Cloud of St. Loula, a
missionary worker among the deaf and
dumb under Episcopalian direction, con
veyed to those present the Importance of
a new birth.
Though not a word waa spoken during
the service, the minister seemed to reach
the hearts of those who received Hla
message delivered from the tips of his
fingers. Rev. Mr. Cloud told his con
gregation of the significance of the new
birth of the soul, referring. Incidentally,
to the birth of the New Year, at which
time a new leaf In the tide of a flairs la
turned over.
Three rhlldren were baptized by Ilev.
