FEARLESS IN PERFORMANCE OF ANY DUTY Integrity of Heart and Independence f Aotlai T wo 1 hararterlslna; Ele mrila of Martrred rrraldrat'a I'atbetlc 1,1 fe. A Unculn memorial ervlce wai held yes terday morning Bt St. Mary' Avenue Cnn frretatlonal church, the' pastor, Rev. IaicIuj Olmsted Balrd, preaching on the topic. ' The Ufc Purpose of Abraham Lincoln." The word from the seventy-second r"'m 'So he fed them according to the lntgrlty of fils heurt." furnished the text and the leading thought of the sermon. Ilev. Mr. flntrd snld In substance: "Lincoln fcund a hungry nation. Tor bread, our debaters had given stones of controversy and acorplona of vituperation. The, pooplo hungered for the truth, but thy received Hlbllcal sophistries. Missouri compromises and Wllmot provisos. Then appeared this man from the western clear ing. The color of the ground was In him. the red earth, the tang and odor of primeval things. He fed them with the Integrity of Ills'. heart. H could not be turned aside from that Which he conceived to be the cjtart truth. When Ills political friends urged him to leave out portions of his speech because they were Impolitic and would surely Irarl to defeat, Lincoln re plied: , 'I would rather be defeated with this expression lit the, speech and uphold and fllsciis It before the people, than be victorious wltliout.lt.' He never shrunk from on unpopular cause when he believed It to 'be rlghi. In Lincoln wn vindicated 'the greatness of real goodness and the goodness of real greatness." "Ills personal Independence resulted from this Integrity nf his heart. One could not Imagine a man's trying to move Abraham Lincoln from a mature decision on a ques tion of right any mire than he would think of trying to move Clbraltar with n crow-bar. Ills opinion was something more than an argument for or agnlnst the sub ject In hnnd. He seemed to Impress his hearera with the fact that he had candidly viewed all sides of a question so that his Judgment had the finality of a court de cision. "Imagine this man of Integrity of heart and independence of nction going through the temple of our political life today! How he would overturn senate tables, where modetn money changers surrender Inde pendent action to corporation lobbyists, nnd urourge a senatorial attorney that would accept large minimi retainers paid from other people's money, while he made no pretense of rendering any adequate ser vice therefor. How he would repudiate the sophistry whereby a man as a Mormon can swear to nvrnge his law-brenking church against hit government and then expect to hold up his head as a senator to swear to defend his government from Its enemies. I can hear the scorn in his voice as he might say: 'This is the house of the peoplo's welfare, and you have made It a place of political barter." " N: 1KJSOS FROM TIIK RIIM) RKUtiAR Faith Which Made II I m Whole Neces sary to Salvation. Rev. Daniel K. Jenkins of the Presby terian Theological seminary occupied the First Presbyterian pulpit Sunday night and drew a few lessons from the mlracale of the Bavlor restoring the sight of the blind beg gar, Bartlnaeus. He said: "Bartlnaeus had little by little caught the story which was going around of the healing power of the Bavlor, how He had made the deaf to hear; the lama to walk, the dumb to speak and beat of all to him, the blind to see. As ha at by th gate of Jericho he got kindly In formation, aa the subject waa on the II pa of all. He must have noticed the perver sity with which fellow countrymen were discussing- the situation. He cared little what gave to Jesus Hia magical powers, nor how they were accounted for. He cared llttla for the prejudices, for he waa after the facta. "They did. not want a tnesslah. as Jesus waa: they wanted a political messiah. Har tlnaeus wished all he heard wan true and this attitude Is half the battle In the search for truth. A cure for doubt In reference to salvation Is belief In (Jod and a moral and spiritual sen.se of need. The cause of doubt la not an intellectual defect rlor a lack of Intelligence. If all doubts which men en courage to Justify a lack of religious life were put aside the way would he clear. Many close their eyes to what they know to be true to Justify themselves for not dealing honestly with God. "The case of nartlnaeus was too desperate , to be led astray by doubts. The grim ' reality to this man made him earnest and honest, and he pondered over It because It ' had a possibility of hope. The first step to overcome doubts Is to have a sense of need, to be blind to sin nnd to have the burden of guilt removed from his soul. 'Must a man understand all the healing arts before he takes advice of a physician? . No man can philosophise himself Into the kingdom of heaven. He must come to a aense of nerd and then salvation' Is simply ' a matter of offer. The ministry Is striving to fill the hearts of men with a sense of need. Christ Is always ready and man must be ready. There must be determined effort, lor religion appeals to the will of man as well as lo his reason. There la no drifting Into the right way; there must be effort." B(ll.ll Of KW CATIIKUHAL MANUFACTURES IN NEBRASKA Number of Plauti Increases 'Oter 8eTn Per Cent in 1904.

To the flora' and tally of Omaha and South maha-lear Hretlirrn: It Is, doubt less, well known to you that the work of building a cathedral for the diocese was commenced early last summer. The founda tions have been laid and the base, or that portion of the structure which reaches from the ground level to the wafer table, is now so far advanced that It will reunite only a few more days to complete It. The contracts for thl work, with necessary In cidental expenses, amount to the sum of 117. too a sum that may leem large at first, but which will appear moderate enough when we take Into account the slse of the i structure and the solid character of the work. Those of you who have lately vis ited the building site must have leen Im pressed bv tiie Imposing outlines of the rising structure nnd will have no difficulty In admitting that the money was well spent. The work, even as It appears now. will enable everyone to form a good Idea of the beauty of the finished cathedral and to foresee that It will be an object til great Interest not only to the people of Omaha, but to every visitor to our city. One point to bo specially kept In view Is that the styie of architecture to be fol lowed throughout will give us a cathedral that will be perfect of Its kind. Imposing in appearance and far removed from the commonplace; while, at the same time. Its cost will be proportionately moderate, since the style will not permit useless orna mentation. The time has now arrived for considering whether the work of building Is to be con tinued without Interruption and finished within a reasonable tlme or whether It Is to he suspended for an Indefinite period, until some future generation shall take It up and complete It. The question to be considered Is a question of funds. Some months ago an appeal was made to the congregations of the diocese out side Omaha nnd the response to that appenl was most prompt and most generous. In deed. It was so generous as to occasion surprise to the people of this city. Those subscribers In the country gave from a high motive and from a sense of duty, nor were they deterred from contributing by the fact that manv of them would see the cnthedral but seldom nnd that some of them perhaps would never see It at all. T aic-wal now to the people of Omaha and Booth Omaha. This work has s sp Cil claim on their generous good will. To them It will be easy of access. They will visit It frequently and especially on occa sions of solemn ceremonv. Its episcopal chair Hpd its cross cm high will be for them dally reminders of the authority and of the ma lest v of the Church of God. rurlnr the Inst two vears a cinvass of this cltv was marfe by the Very Rev. Father Jennette. That "canvass, however, was unavoidably Incomplete; many per sons were not seen s.t all. and many who contributed then will, no doubt, be willing fr contribute again. The Rev. Father Walsh has klndlv consented lo resume this canvass for a few weeks and will begin the work Febri'"rv 11. I anneal to you to nifti" Father Walsh's task naturally a disagreeable one as ensy and as pleasant as possible. And I also ask you to remem ber that Die amount of work to be done on the cathedral this year will denend on the amount of '-our cash contributions. RICHARD grANKEU-. Omaha. Feh. r. 190i.

The second of the memory meetings at tha Toting Men's Christian association rooms was held Bnnday afternoon with a large attendance of young men and older men who are Interested In the association work. A similar meeting will be held next Sunday when former Assistant Sec retary Charles M. Mayne, now of Uneoln, willbe the principal Fpeaker, and also the following Sunday, when I. W. Carpenter will preside and Frank W. Ober, former secretary and at present editor of "Asso ciation Men," will be .the principal speaker. George G.

Alex ander, Austin. Preston, Baldrlge. Qoss, Carpenter. Tukey, Hills. Pale, Clnbaugh. Btrlckler and Fisher, all of whom havs heen strong men In the association work, lie said the Omaha association had been blessed witji strong secretaries since the coming of Frank Ober, whose motto was "Work for God." end Willis, whose motto was "Make Tour 1At Count." H. H. Raldrlge snid hearing of the great work In the association of Robert Welden sall while still at his home town was re sponsible for his coming to Omaha. He visited the Toung Men's Christian associa tion on the day of his arrival In the city. He told of the debating societies, of the ups and downs of the association and of the erection of the present building which will soon be torn down. He said: "The coming of Frank Ober was the greatest life ever Instilled Into the associa tion, for he gave the shields' and united the dividing opinions as to the work. He gave' the association new life." Charles A. Goss spoke of the "Opportuni ties Which Come to Man to Help In the Association. " He divided this work Into two heads, "Vocations and Avocations." and said the association was just the place for a man to expend his surplus energies. .Nineteen I'er ( ent CJrowth la Prod no tion, anal Amount of Wages Paid lines I n erl Twenty five Per tent. GOSPRI. 1 TUB MKKSIGIS OF l.OVE to the Various Interesting and valuable statistics ( almut the manufactures of Nebraska for i the year ending December 31, lffM, are ; given In Bulletin 25, Just Issued by the t)e- j partment of Commerce and tabor, and j complied by the Bureau of the Census. In transmitting the report to Secretary Met calf. Director 8. N. D. North says: The census of the manufactures of Ne braska was taken in conformity with the requirements of the act of congress of March , lisfi. This Is the first census in which the canvass has been confined to manufacturing establishments conducted under what Is known ns the factory system, thus excluding the neighborhood Industries and hand trades. The statistics for these mechanical trades have been a confusing element In the census of manufactures, and their omission confines the data to a presentation of the magnitude and growth I of the true manufacturing Industries of tne country, lo secure cnmparanie figures for 1!0, It was therefore necessary to re vise the published report of the twelfth census, and, in coniparlnK the results of the present with the former censuses, the different bases should be held In mind. Manufactories In Nebraska. The number of manufacturing establish ments in Nebraska increased from 1.RP6 to 1.R19. 7.3 per cent, or IL'4 new ones. The total capital Invested In 1W was $80,235,810, against $tw,90fi,n62 for 1900. an Increase of tM.SiS.ZiS. er 11.7 per cent. The vnlue of the products rose from S130,302.4.'3 to J154,-918.2-J0 for the year 1W4, en advance of tIM. 615,767, or 1?.9 per cent. Following this expansion In capital and production, the number of wage earners at the beginning of 1906 was 20,260 as opposed to 18.668 five years before, an Increase of 1,691, or 6 per cent. At the same time the wages paid advanced 24.7 per cent In the aggre gate, or In the sum of $2,179,720: the figures for 1904 lielng $11,022,149, against $,M2,429 for 1900. The number of children under 16 years employed decreased by almost half, there being hut SOT at the close of 1904 earning annually jno.sio, against 7M. earning $137,343. five years prior, a decrease of 45.R and 33.$ per cent respectively, this showing being one that must be pleasing to well-wishers for humanity. On the other hand, the per centage of increase of female labor In fac tories was murh larger than that of men, there lielng Ktt more women employed, and only 1.094 additional men. In 1900 the women numbered 1,709 and the men 16.227, but In 1905 the females had Increased lo 2,642 and the men to 17.321. The larger number of women was paid for the year $7W.M". against $436,880 Ave years before. Men earned $10,142,694. against $8,- Children In the Factories. Of the chlldrenTiuployed In factory labor 2Ui were In the three cities of the state hav ing a population of mora than 8,000 and only 177 In the rural communities. Likewise In the cities 1,945 women were employed to 687 In the country. But with the men only 10, 936 gained their livelihood In the cities, while 6.3S5 earned It In the smaller places. The report shows that the small number of 429 establishments In the cities had $51, 857.992 Invested to the $30,692,148 in 1.332 es tablishments in the rural districts. The value of production was $12i!.641,60l urban, against $28,276,719 rural, yet the latter showed a gain of 41.7 per cent and the for mer but 14.8 per cent. Salaried officers and clerks increased from t,296 to .U:. or 39 per cent, and their salaries advanced from $2,107,261 to $3,074,911, a gain nf 45.9 per cent. The cost of ma terials used Increased from $95,925,178 to $124, 061,628, or 29 3 per cent, and miscellaneous expense from $.liW,7r,t to $8,490,360, or 37.6 per cent. Figuring up the total expenses as given and deducting It from the total value of products. Including custom work and re pairing, Nebraska manufacturers are found to have made something like $6,265,045 on their $ko,235.310 Investment, the expenses In cluding ti per cent Interest on the capital. nmber of Waste Karners. The report says: The reports of the twelfth census show 5.114 er.tabiislinientfi In Nebraska, with 24 461 wate-earners, and products valued at $143, Km,lo2. These establishments l,ti93, employ ing !8.6'.9 wage-earners and manufacturing products valued at $130,302.453 a re compar able with the class of establishments In cluded in the census of HiOo. when the num ber of establishments reported was 1.819, the nuinlier of wage-earners 0.260 and the value command 'lock ' l:'J '"J1'1' rf;''.. ... in.- iiim mm-.- tn i nf iiiumiiHcturers in the state Is due largely to stock raising and other agricultural pursuits, on which the bulk of the manufactured is based.

The Industry showed a gain of 5.6 per cent In capital nnd 47.6 per cent In the value of output. There wns a large decrease In cheese products, owing to the s:ile of milk and cream for butter, consumption In cities and feeding to stock.

"And then Paul told them they were the offspring of God, and the times of the past were the times of Ignorance. God now willed that men should come to repentance, for there cometh a day of Judgment, lie brought to them tha message of the gospel of Christ. Christ was more than a teacher: lie was the sac rifice and He set before men the wuy of repentance. But the men of Athens mocked Paul, though some believed. The message of the gospel Is the mcssuge of love. It admonishes muii' to wulK not In the path or sit lu the seats of the scoruers.

Meat Packing" Indnatry. . The greatest manufacture in the state, slaughtering 'and meat packing, shows a decrease In the value of the production of $1,774,871, or 2.5 per cent, being the single Industry that has not a gain to Its credit. The report says: The value of products of the slaughtering and meat packing industry, which is cen tered In Houth Omaha, greatly exceeded that of any other Industry in the state, being $69,143,468, or 44.7 per cent of the total for all industries In 190J.
