II Bald in part: In all the relationships of man there Is no element wlilrh so softens the deeper sensibilities of the soul and lightens the hardships of human life as true and loyal friendships. The Lord associated with this statement the strongest affinity with His disciples and had borne many hardships and trials with tiiem. He used the sacred appellation to exprens His personal affec tion. "A world of meaning la carried by the word friend. In Greek It means the one who love, one who Is lovable and one ho is loy.il. It Is not permitted to cail one your friend whom you do not love. Love Is self-elimination, srlf-surrender and self-sbm nation. Friendship Is the com plete fixedness of one's faith In the Integ rity of him an whom the word Is bestowed. What belter can you say to a man than "You are my friend." "Are not such friendships rare today? True friendship is based on sympathy and It marks the difference' between man and beai.t In animal nature the standard of accountability la lowered; the sense of In telligence has no opportunity to develop; he knows r.nr desires no lietfr condition. In such environments there Is no chance for friendship to exist. V "Think of n human beina: without friends. How lonely you would be If you had o living- soul who knew you or cared for you. friends neor to us in childhood huve drafted into ttie cn-at, world and new friends have taken their places; experi ences of yesterday are preparations for thlnf s to coin.

There are still some reen whose prestrst delight is home. Some mothers try to make home attractive. ,Som" boys and girls can shv that no place on earth Is more nttnvjtlve than home, no good will more attractive than mother's. "If fathers nnd mothers would keep children from evil they must foster them under their own roofs and cultivate affec tion and friendship, so tl.ey con say their dearest friends nre their fathers nnd moth ers. '' "How rare are true friendships. Who re your friends? On" stands out strong and clear and you should make Jesus Christ your frcml Let us cultivate more nd more the true Christian spirit of friendship." THE TWO WAYS OF fULVATIOX RT. Laara H. Wild Talks of the Ensj and (be Difficult Way. Rev. Iaura II. Wild, professor of the ology at Poane rollege, presched Sunday morning and evening at the First Congre gational church In' the absence of the pastor. The morning theme touched what the preacher termed "the two Ideas of salvation which are prevalent today In the world." - "If salvation means freedom of the hu man Soul, a getting away from those tilings which cramp its and lie. us' down to earth," aid the preacher, "then no human being who faces the owstinn fairly rnh say he does not want aalvnflon, s.j that h may be what lie fecit: he was meant to be. The thing men and women object to Is not sal tation, but the w.iy of salvation. There are two ways of looking t this way of salvation. One Is the popular way, that most generally followed, the pleasing way. The other Is a difficult way. It Is nut pop ular, but Is the most bcttuilful ever re vealed to the heart of man. "There are In the human nature two tendencies, one counseling evil, the other urging the development of the better na ture. By stamping out' the Ignoble, by reaching and striving we may finally come out In a shape presentable for Jesus Christ, to salvation through self development. But in this book of ours, the Bible, we find there also mist be salvation through self crucifixion, through aeirnhnegation, through elf-surrender n putting away of our elves and receiving a power not of ourselves, catching a vision or the divine, that teaches us that Jesus Christ Is the body and the Iamb without blemish. He la our substitute, and God will not refuse to accept the offering of his divine, only be gotten son. We must let the thought life of the Lord Jesus Christ take the-place of our own thought; we must let His heart life be formed In us. This is the doctrine of atonement, of at-nnement. with Ood. The idea la old fashioned, but It Is the deepest, largest, most beautiful thought Of all." Incldently, the Rev. Dr. Wild crltlclxed the sort of Christianity that "parses by on' the other side" when a man Is lying in the ditch; that raises its skirts and tuma aside from the poor and wretched later who has been degraded to the gutter. ALL KINDS OF WORK TO BK DOMC ROT. C. W. Brlnstnd t rees Close Co oncratlou ( Christiana. Yesterday was Rev. C. W. Brlnstad's last Sunday In Omaha before going to Cali fornia to take charge of the Buptlst mis sionary work In that state and Nevada. He spoke in the morning at the First Bap tist church ud In the evening at Calvary Baptist church. "Whoever can ought to go Into business to make money for God." said Mr. Brln stad at the First church. "There la great diversity of gifts among men; some are fitted for - preaching and some for other things. God commands you to use such. talents as He has given you. and if IiWW All 1 Rheumedic Pains Aches Cures SoraThro&t At all Dru&ists Pricll?J0f&n00 DrFnrlS Sknn Boston MttsstfAl MMMnMBtiM ami nraii TMli you have not the gift of preaching the gospel you are needed In some other way. A man may be a mine owner without knowing a thing about mines and make money by hiring the brains, energy and experience of experts. A man may be a working Christian without ever being aide to lead a soul directly to Christ. It Is his duty to give of his means to support those men who have the talent of converting souls." Of the work which the Nebraska con ference bad accomplished In the lost year In the home missionary field Mr. Brlnstad said: "Twenty-six Baptist churches have been erected, where not more than half this number would have been built If the mis sion board had not started the fund and sent a man Into the field to arouse en thusiasm. This has been at a cost of $a.ofO to the board, the amount usually placed In any one building fund being $1'W." Mr. Brlnstad saw bright tl.lns ahead for the mission work In Nebraska. More money was received In subscriptions In the last three montlia of the year, he said, than In any previous quarter. Also. January reeelpta had been the largest In the history of the conference. DR. JKMtS OX IAW OF TUB ITMOST Lines of Perfection should Be Sought In Every Sphere. "The Uv of the ftmost" was the sub ject of Rev. Edwin Hart Jcnks at the First 1'resbyterlan church Sunday morning, the day marking his last Sunday with hla con gregation before leaving on a visit to the holy land. Amorg other things the pastor said: "Beauty lies along the lines of perfection. We do not like to see a piece of botched artistic work and In business we call It failure when men do not carry out this law of the utmost. In political life we are not excused from doing loss than our ut most to make our accomplishments more pure and a belter expression of citizen ship. The law does not apply differently to the man who has only his own vote In his hand than to he who is able to control the thinking of men who drop thousands of votes. He must pet according to his highest espneity and do the best he knows how to do. "The determination of all successful life Is the measure of man's capability. We are so npt to say. 'I have done my share,' and not fulfill the law of the utmost the doing of the best that Is In us, subject, of course, to human frailties and all reasonable ex cuse. "You will find that those who have ob tained success have not done so by giving measure for measure, but by absolutely discharging, according to wisdom nnd power, all the d:ttles of their place. "Christ loved men to the uttermost. This means that He would go to any end to save and help them.' Many of us are not willing to carry out the law of kindness and sacri fice as far as we cin. It Is the doing of all things of life to the extent of our ca pacity that is required." The church was thoroughly fllled for the evening services, when n well-arranged pro gram of music was rendered. There were nu.irtet. duet and solo numbers. Miss Bishop, contralto, snng a recitative and arioso by Mendelssohn and Miss Jansen. so prano, rendered "longing" In a most pleas ing manner. The other special numbers were a song by the basso, Mr. Ellis, and two duets by Miss Jansen and Mr. Ellis. The quartet sang "Oh. How Amiable," and "Cast Thy Burden I'pon the Lord." LAWS XKCESSAHY TO COMMIMTY Worae Than t'aeles. However, Inlesa , Kn forced. Rev. Newman Hall Burdlck spoke on the subject of municipal reform at the Second i l'reahytcrlan church Sumlay night, saying that he was not a mcinler of the Civic Fed- erntlon, but that his sermon was on request of the Civic Federation to pave the minis ters preach on law enforcement. "Men could not live together unless their Interlivlng was regulated by some law," said Mr. Burdlck, "na where two or more people live togfther or there is a whole coin- munity, some laws must govern. A Just ,. pPicl,,us law Is the law which docs law, a religious law, is me law wnicn uo.a tho greatest good for the greatest, number I of people, to give the greatest liberty of , action to tho largest number of people; In justice to the minimum and Justice to the maximum. Uva have no terror to those who would do right, but have to those who would do 111. "When you have a law the efficacy of that law depends upon Its enforcement, and a law which Is Ignored weakens the respect for the other laws. If a law la unjust it should be enforced to the limit, so people, can see the Injustice of it and have it re pealed. Lack of good laws Is not troubling the people, but the lack of enforcement. A great wive of crime Is sweeping over the country and Chicago Is the storm center. These crimes are the outcome of unenforced laws and the men who refuse to enforce them are responsible. "The regulation of vice la one of the most difficult problems of modern civilisation. We do succeed In a measure In regulating vice, ...... 1.4 ... ..t.i,.i. .u,i. ...u.. the most conspicuous vice Is Intemperance and the next la the social evil. A saloon is a bad place at best, although some assert it la a necessary evil. We have the Slo cunib law. which bars Sunday opening, lewd women In saloons, wine rooms, window and door scteens and opening after 13 o'clock and these are enforced to some degree In Omaha. "In Minneapolis the people stopped going to St. Paul the third week that Sunday clos ing was enforced and the butcher and the baker all say that they are collecting bills of long standing aa a consequence. I agree with saloonkeepers when they say that other trade shops should be closed on Bun day as well.

MATTER IN MODERN ASPECT It Nature and Known ' Properties ti Developed bj Research. SOME SECRETS NOT YET DISCLOSED I'ruf. Horasteln vf School Lectures on the lllitli the Topic to the hlloaonhlral f Moetet) Before the Omaha Philosophical society yesterday ullernoon Prof. Nathan Bern stein, head of the department of physics at the Omaha High school, lectured on "The Theory of Matter." Prof. Bernstein said: Matter as we know it today is something perceptible by our senses, something wu can feel, see, taste, hear: something which Is a matter of concern for one or all of the senses. Romcthing which Mils space or is occupied by space; which exists every where in the universe, even unto the farthest space surrounding stars whose distance Is almost Incalculable by us. For the sake of convenience we speuk of matter as existing in three states. Some times the line of demarcation becomes so feeble as to be almost altogether extin guished. In the solid state matter has more or less deflnlteness of size and slftipe. It resists efforts to change this slxe or shape. It appeals most strongly to the senses be cause most of the solids which we know seem more tangible than other states of matter. In the liquid state matter usually has the slxe and shape of the containing vessel, though It always has a definite volume of Its own. For Instance, water In a kettle may or may not fill the kettle, but Its gen eral form Is that of the kettle. In the third or gaseous state matter Is whollv dependable on the containing ves sel, it fills whatever It occupies. If we have a quart of gas and remove one-half of It, the remainder Immediately diffuses Itself throughout the whole space, though the weight has been diminished by one half. There Is still another state, but the limits of our discussion forbids any mention of this so-called "radiant matter" except as Incidental to other things. Mtatns of the Molecule. In order to understand the reason for these states of matter It becomes neces sary to say something of the molecule, which until recently was the ultimate di vision of matter, considered as an Inde pendent entity. For example, the smallest piece of wood that could exist and still be wood Is a molecule of wood. Ita size and shape are still subjects of much argu ment. By observing the bands of color on the surface of a soap bubble Dolbear has made certain deductions as to the slxe of a molecule. From sucn a bubble are reflected all the colors of the rainbow. Beyond the purple comes a white band and beyond this a gray patch which reflects light but feebly. This gray band has a thickness which Is 1-1W of that of purple light, whose wave length Is about l-60,ort of an inch. This will give us for the thickness of the bubble film about l-S,00,O0O. or in round numbers, 1-I0.000.0n0 of an Inch. When we consider that this film bears the weight of the bubble, it will occur to us that It Is more than one molecule In thick ness. From this and other phenomena we conclude that a molecule has a diameter of about l-fW.OOO.ooa of an Inch: that la to sav. 60.mio.0On molecules arranged in a row would measure one Inch. When we try to estimate the number of molecules in a drop of water ordinary calculations are . not sufficient and wo resort to other devices to express the result. Referring again to a piece of wood we find hat its molecul.! can be further subdivided. That Is to say, we change the nature of the wood hv burning, for Instance, and so bring to notice the atom which exists only in the transition state; that Is. while traveling from one compound or element to another. Rome molecules contain more atoms than others and are consequently larger, but the largest is almost beyond the imagination of most of us in smallnesa. Vortex Theory of Matter. As to the shape of the minute divisions there has been much speculation. Perhaps the most interesting as well as moat easily understood la the vortex theory of matter. This assumes that minute portions of her which ma v be assumed to be matter of such tenuos state that it has none of the f common properties of matter, but exist In a class by Itseir, iravei iiiroumi inu.-r, like vortex rings. On any still day such rings may be seen Issuing from the smoke ,i.r.w nf a locomotive. There Is one central ring about whesc circumference spirally curl lesser rings. These rings or atoms are indestructible and can neither intersect each other nor themselves. On tho motion of rinra denentl not only the states but ! the. kinds of matter. In other words, they are phenomena In tho original matter of the primal stuff. On the way they combine or tnroK each other probably depends th(( forrr,Htion of differing kinds of matter. This theory seetna to asume that there is k.it nne kind of matter, of which the ele. ments are but differing forms depending on the motion of these atoms. Motion na Factor. We have already spoken of the slates of matter, but have said nothing of the rea son for this. It is now generally accepted that what we term heat is but another name for molecular motion. That Is to say, In ail matter as we know It the molecule is ceaselessly moving. It moves in an envlron ment of ether snd on the distance it moves depends the state of matter. We cannot say much of this motion in the solid state be cause It is of such a complex nature. But In the gas there seema to be nothing but the sides of the retaining vessel to restrain this motion and the molecule movea In straight lines until it strikes other mole cules or tho sides of the vessel. Klsteen has calculated the velocities of several gases under the same pressure and at a tempera ture of zero centigrade. He gives these as follows: Hydrogen, 6.671 feel per second; oxvgen, 1.3W feet per second; carbonic acid cas i lsH feet per second. From this it seems that the lighter tho gas the faster I moves Its molecules, inn law is inni urn vHoclt of ti,e molecule varies Inversely aa ln, a(1uare root of the density of the gas. This molecular motion in bw in mutter of liuDortance. because on n is based our method of calculating aDsoiuie terniierature. let us iaao a quart ui under a certain definite pressure, ana cooiea to O degree centigiaoe. .-mow nrui n i tie gree mid we have 1 1-1.73 quarts, due to the increased motion of the molecule. Heat it 873 degrees and we nave two quarts, or exactly twice the volume with which we started, fcxtenuing mis sino. oi rpmunim, If we cool the gas 1 degree below 0 degree centigrade we have 0 :T2-LT3 quarts, or if we cool It under proper conditions to 273 degrees centigrade below 0 degree centi grade Its volume has entirely disappeared, if the gas exists as matter now Us mole cules are absolutely motionless, and prob ably rest on each other. Its properties are entirely unknown to us except by specula tion. Matter In this condition has never been known experimentally. If we assume that It la the motion of the molecule. rather than the molecule Itseir, which oc cupies tpuce, that at the absolute sero mat ter no longer lanes up ruuuu Another Teat for Matter. The three states of matter may be further differentiated as follows: In the solid state the motion of the molecule is restricted. The molecules have a strung attraction tor each other, which prevents their moving further than senslhlo distances from each other. Cohesion, or the attraction of one particle for anoiner, is stronger tnun neat or the molecular motion. in tne iiquin while cohesion still exists it is not nearly, so strong as in the solid. In the gas co hesion no longer exists. In fart, the mole cules seem to have a positive repulsion for cat h other. From this we can readily see that the states of matter are for the most part dependent on heat, or the amount of molecular motion lu matter. Of course there are exceptions to the above state ments, but they are rather due to condi tion not yet understood than deviations from the theory. Heceat Progress In Science. During the lust ducade there has been much prugivst iiiudu lowurd discerning the ultimate nutuie of lustier. Electrolysis, the X-rays, the wireieks telegraphy and radium, eucli lias conliitinted something to our pses-iil undeveloped theory. - It is now held that there is onmliiing Infinitely smaller und Infinitely nearer to the original mutter. wliuni-H come the elements, than the atom. We muy tall It the ton, or electron. Hy some Its slxe I estimated as about 1-lwuii of thul of the hydrogen atom. The vibrations of these electron within the atom give rise to waves of light. Whenever X-rays are gciirrutctt und nine lulu contact with mut ter It is due to the passage of millions upon million! of electrons. The peculiar light giving piiiMTtles nf radium are due to the lunir phenomena. Atoms uppureiitly consist of electrically churged electrons arranged something as the wiar system. Near the center we have a KiNlllvely r barged electron, about which numlM-rles other electrons are ceaselessly rotating, much as the planets nitaU about the sun. In other words, each atom Is a miniature solar system and bears tiie same relation to the uiiUeruu of atoms us does our aolur setrin to the unlveiM' of ulars or suns. This la Hie state of the theory vf matter today and In spite of what has Iwen done we nre ns yet no nearer the Hun! solution than wei-e the pioneers of si lence.

NEW HOSPITAL IS DEDICATED! Several Ministers Ucllvrr Addresses anil Uld the Jerr Institution Oodseed. The dedication services nnd formal open ing of the Omaha. General hospital were held yesterday afternoon In the chapel of that Institution, which was well filled with officers, staff and friends of the hospital nnd a representation- of the general public. Although the hospital has been open K week and over the formul opening was reserved for yesterday afternoon. The hospital oc cupies the five-story building at Fourteenth street and Capitol avenue, formerly known as the Dellone hotel The management of the new hospital will be tinder the direc tion of the Omaha Christian Institute, which conducted the hotel. For a beginning the second floor of the building has been completely fitted out for hospital purposes with two operating rooms, fifteen private rooms for patients, one ward for women and three for men and other departments for the care of sick and Injured. Short addresses were made at yesterday's exercises by Rev. E. H. Jenks, D. D., pas tor of the First Presbyterian church; Rev. S. D. Dutcher. n. I)., pastor First Christian church; Rev. J. W. Conley. D. D.. cantor First Baptist rhurch: Rev. D. R. Turnbull, t. D.. pastor First United Presbyterian church; Rev. L. Groh, D. D.. pastor St. Mark's Lutheran church; Rev. A. W. Clark, superintendent Child Saving Institute; Charles F. Robe, general manager of the hospital. The various speakers wished the officers and attendants of the new hospital God speed In their undertaking and outlined the plans and pollien of the Institution. It was stated the plan Is to enlarge the hospital as fast as conditions will warrant It. The en tire building Is to be devoted to hospital purposes and baths are to be Installed In the basement. Cases of all kinds, excent contagious diseases, will be treated and all reputable physicians ate Invited to treat patients at the hospital. Prof. K, D. Keck and his choir from the Kountze Memorial church furnished the music at the opening exercises. The following have been appointed as the hospital staff for the ensuing year: Sur geons Pr. W. O.

SUMMER SUNDAY IN WINTER Thermometer Began Creeping: lp Karly In the Mnrnlnav, Rearlilna Bt at 4 O'clock. , , . . . summer day as has been experienced in this latitude on January is for many years. Except In the morning hours from S o'clock until the sun came up with a bright and Inviting glow on his face, overcoats were Incumbrances until after iteukness fell. At 12 o'clock the thermometer stood at 14 in the shade, while In the sun pickaninnies with only a shirt on would luive been quite comfortable. At 1 o'clock It was four de grees warmer still, und the high point was reached at 4 o'clock, when J4 was recorded. People on the streets gave many evi dences of enjoyment of the summery at mosphere. Women registered prayers for such an Enster day when they emeigcd from church at noon and men were not a few who regretted the fact that Bill Rourke had not had the foresight to arrange for an exhibition game of ball. Sumlay closing was made harder for the beer saloons by the knowledge that came to the proprietors of the swift-sptinglng summer thirst created hy the warmth. Automobile owners took full advantage of the glorlus opportunity for comfortable spins In their puffing pets. Even the street cars were crowded In many Instances quite to their summer limit. Florence was a favorite visiting place for tots of young people, and places where drinking booths were open, handy to Omaha, caught a good many visitors who are ordinarily not seen there on Sunday. There Is no present indication of a break In the existing delightful rondltons, and at I! o'clock Sunday evening the thermome ter still stood at 44. STILL "THE LID" IS UNLIFTED Deserted Saloons with Vncovered Interiors MnTe Become a Fixed Fart In Omaha. Another dry Sunday In Omaha passed Into history yesterday. That large covering referred to as the "Hd".was on again and was on tightly, so far as the Careful Ob server, Oldest Inhabitant and others could learn. The situation smacked of the old saying, "Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink " There were beer, whisky and other soothing libations on every hand, but the nearest one could get to them was to peep through the windows of the local barrooms, which, were closed and deserted. The situation Is becoming so Incorporated Into local life that little comment Is being heard now. except from strangers who ar rive with a thirst or a desire for "a little something for the stomach's sake" on Sun day. Attorney Elmer E.' Thomas reported last evening that his representative gleaned nothing of Interest during the day. In police court this morning twenty-two saloonkeepers charged with having opened their saloons on Sunday. January 8, will have hearings, their cases having been postponed from a week ago. There were five arrests for drunkenness up to 8 o'clock this morning, which was three more than on the Sunday previous. The five arrests were for the thirteen hours since 2 o'clock Sunday morning when the last arrest was made for a "Jag" accumu lated Saturday night. Those sober enough to tnlk were asked where they secured their overload, but on this subject they positively refused to give any information.
