McLaughlin, superln- tendent of the hospital and Deaconesses' home. In the morning at the Hanscom Park church. Mrs. Mclaughlin gave a simple and graphic account of the career of the Omaha hospital and the prlvationa and hnrrishlna ' endured bv those ' having the work In hand. She said: "Christ came to earth for three great purposes to preach, to teach and to help the sick and suffering. To be a genuine Christian a person must be Interested actively !n nil three of these things. The salvation of aoula Is of the first importance. but not always first in order. Christ showed very plainly His conalderatlon for the sick and hungry and emphasized His esteem of these offices! and the same rules that applied then are In force today. Methodists always have done' greut work in the saving of souls und in charitable enterprises but they, and In fact the whole Protestant denomination, has been asleep In the matter of eating for the sick and helpless. "The Good Samaritan stands out as a great example. We are bidden to go and do likewise and we should try to fulfill the command. "We can scarcely realise that eighteen years ago there were only two Mothodlst hospitals In the entire United States. Our church had almost wholly neglected one of the great purposes for which Christ came. Now we have twenty hospitals throughout the country and yet these should be and I trust they are only a be ginning. - Hospital Here Fifteen Tears. "In Omaha Methodists have had a hos pital for nearly fifteen years. It Is duly within the last few months that we have let the public know anything of what we , havs endured something of the privations and struggles, that, had we known them In advance, we never would have been able to face. Three nurses, of which I was one, came from Chicago to start the work. The others broke down becuuse they did not have enough to eat and from overwork. I waa stronger than they and did not break down, too. We were ashamed to let the trustees know that we were giving very nearly everything' to our patients. "Our rented building has become a shack. By using the aisles and corridors we have made room for forty-two beds. They are always filled and applicants are waiting for admission. Sometimes people wait four months to get in. In one year eight persons died while waiting. Of late years the pub lic has come to the rescue and the nuraes are now enabled to live In a fairly satis factory manner. But they have gono with out many meals In' order to save a quarter here and a quarter there. They still have many burdens to bear of, which most peo plo know nothing , about and concerning which I have not the courage to go into detaJIs. Seeing la Knowing. To understand the real conditions one must come ,to the hospital and Investigate It for himself; We are able to take good care of the patients, but only by the hard est kind of work and putting up with many Inconveniences end hardship. One-third of our patient are treated fre that Is, the hospital doe not receive one penny for the services rendered. Beside the ma terial akl we give, the hospital I used ns a great missionary field and many con versions to a Christian life are made there. The nurse, any one of whom might l earning 135 a week, labor for It S a wee and try to save money to give toward the much-needed new building. There are no endowment.

The Sunday school Institute which la being conducted In Omaha under the direc tion of the Nebraska Sunday School asso ciation was continued at the Iwe Avenue Presbyterian church Sunday afternoon when Irof. II. M. Stetdley lectured on tho teachers of the Sunday school and Miss Mamio Uaynes on tne pupils that are taught. "The gieulest problem ut the bumluy . school Is the teacher problem." said Prof. I Steldley, "and two things mum be consld- ered, one the recognition of Cod's right to j choose his own teachers and the second the j demand that a teacher once called ahull prepare himself for the work. "No one has a right to be a Sunday school teacher unless he or she Is prompted by the heart to work for God. Uod should have a word In the choice.

HGRRMIJ CHITiriKF.S FIELD Declares Great Merchant lealeeted IH a heat Doty In Getting Wealth. "One wonders on what ocean we are drifting when such colossal talent and material success aa Marshall Field's had such a pitiful outcome," said Rev. II.' C. Herring at the First Congregational church Sunday morning. "Ills would have been a notable life back In the time of Caesar, or of TjouIb XIV perhaps, but ' not aa measured by the higher standards of this enlightened age." Dr. Herring paid a tribute to Mr. Field as a man who stood without a rival In a class by hlmsMf, the greatest merchant of the age, not only because he did the most business, but because he did it by honest method. He was not a speculator, not a juggler of finance, not a eorruptor of public officials, not the secret beneficiary of rotten syndicate. Besides, he never put an advertisement In a Sunday newspaper and he kept his blinds down on the Sab bath. He Is pointed to by the world as a great merchant and an upright man. "Yet." said Dr. Herring. "I am obliged to say his life was one of deepest pathos; I cannot help but sny It was a pathetic fail ure. He did not succeed In averting from his own home that ruin which will inevit ably come unless the home Is fortified with Christ. Out of his home was driven love, sympathy and purity and for many yeHrs he lived a lonely life. Whether money ruined his home or not, it is bound to ruin his grandchildren, to whom he left practically his whole fortune. If we did not know him so well It would seem that he merely wanted to keep his great fortune Intact, as a monument to himself. He left a one-thuusaodth part of his fortune to alleviate human suffering; he left nothing to those great remedial agencies which savo men a aoults. "Marshall Field failed to contribute any thing to the social question. While others were experimenting with profit-sharing, fighting against child labor, throwing safe guards around women workers, striving I to ahollHh sweat shops, he was busy piling I up his mammoth fortune, apparently with 1 out regard to any relations between labor I and capital.

Robinson of New York City, inter national secretary for boya' work In the Young Men's Christian association, ad dressed about 100 boys ut the association rooms yesterday afternoon. The meeting was especially for boys over 14 years old. Mr. Robinson har the faculty of putting his Ideas in language that can easily be under stood by the boys and he was given close attention. The meeting marks the begin ning of a campaign to be madn by the association among the youth of the city. "Becoming men," he said, "does not merely mean that we are growing older and larger. There are changes much more Important than age and size. For Instance, a man's religion Is different from a child's. We expert a man to take the reins In his own hands. As you become older you be come responsible for your own acts. One test of manhood la a courageous personal standard in religion. Another is a willing ness to be of service to our fellow man. The child thinks of himself only, but a man must look at the Interests of others aa welt. If he does not he la not a man In the true sense of the world." Mr. Robinson spoke last night' at the First Congregational church, his address being a discussion of problems of boy hood. "The period of adolescense when the boy la In hla 'teens Is the critical period In his life. He Is all setlvlty and this activity must be directed aright or he will direct them In the wrong direction. It la known that nine-tenths of tha habits that last through life are formed In thla period and the general line his thoughts will follow la determined largely then.

He was fair with his em ployes, yet he never fairly . faced tha questions moHt vital to them nnd to labor everywhere. "It was nothing short of unfaithfulness to his highest duty that he left the solu tion of these burning questions to you and ine, when he had such great intellect, will and wealth and power to solve them."

Brockmeyer, spoke In eulogistic terms of the late King Christian of Denmark. He said it waa not uncommon to encounter difficulty among the crowned heads and rulers of natlona in discovering their virtues, but that in King Christian's case It was the reverse and the d'fflculty was in discovering that which was not good about hlni.

T-ni. varsity of Nebraska, was held February It m in uiiaeu notei, tJncoin. several omana inrnioers were present. Including Mr. lprge A. Davie, li. 8. Byrne and ' In my Judgment no twelve honest, un prejudiced men, hound by their oath to render a true verdict according to the law and the evldnce, could have brought In the verdict that the Jury in that cae rendered," declared Rev. John Williams, rector of St. Barnabas Kplscopal church. In the course of hla sermon yesterday morn ing, referring to the outcome of the Pat Crowe case. Father Williams said th Jury made the mistake of Ignoring the main Issue and the' Crowe letter of con fession and addressing Itself to the ques tion. "Who Is the greater criminal, Cudahy or Crowe?" Several other-Omaha ministers took occasion In their Sunday discourses to condemn the verdict. Continuing, Father Williams said: "Had tho Jurors' considered the evidence alone i had their mind been free from every consideration ave the one question which they were sworn' to determine: Did Pat Crowe rob Edward Cudahy of $26,oW by compelling him under fear of bodily hsrm to- his son, or did he not? They could not have acquitted him. There was his own confession. In a letter to a priest, not under the sacred seal of sacra mental confession In any sense. He ac knoweldged the act. He offered to restore $21,000, not because he was penitent and wished to make good his lawless act as far as lay In him; not because he wished to submit himself to ..the .direction of his former pastor ; not that. He offered to restore, but on condition that Mr. Cudahy should compound a felony. There was that tell-tale letter! That confession of the crime! Yet one of the Jurors declares they paid little. If any, attention to that con fession. They spent seventeen hours de bating the evidence and their verdict, but they, paid no serious heod to Crowe's own confession. Now, why? Was tt not be cause the' chlefest issue before the minds of that Jury was not,. 'Is Crowe guilty or not guilty of the crime charged?' but. 'Is It Just or equitable to send Crowe to the penitential. v for twenty years for taking fcS,000 from Edward Cudahy, when the lut ter, together with the other wealthy mem bers of tho packing trust, stand before the har. of JumiIw to answer for law to an extent that makes Crowe's crime veiilal In comparison. They stand befurc the bar of Justice, represented by some of tho most subtle, able niemlx-rs of the bar, fightlngi the admission of their own con fession of violation of law. JuhI aa Crowe's lawyer fought the admlsxlon of his con fession. They stand confessed, uf .viola tion of law, a violation that was Intended to enrich themselves at the expense of the public' Reasoning; of the Jury. That wa none . of the Jurors' business. It Is true. They were. not called upon to determine' whether Crowe or Cudahy w.ts the greater, criminal. .The latter' guilt of violated Jaw Is yet Judicially undetermined and neither that Jurx nor we have tho rUht to prejudge the members of the pack ing trust. And if Jhe Jury did have tho right that was not, the issue. But If the secrets of that long Uiacusslou In the Jury shall ever be dlscJosqd It will be found that the verdict turnod ,;upon the question as to whether. Crowe or Kdward Cudahy were the greater criminal. . Their answer was given. From their point of view they rendered rough and readv iiiHtlce. Pat behind the bars pf penitentiary for tak ing tS.ooo of the many, many millions which the packing .trust took and Is tak ing from the people at large, while Mr. Cudahy, a member or that trust, walks and will walk thecarth free. That Is the lesson of the. verdict, and it Is only a very small part of the lesson which men In high station ought to take to heart In their In satiable pursuit of . great wealth at all hazards. The Jury's verdict In.ilcate the cleavage that is going on today between the wealthy and the poor. Tt Is a peril to he faced. The laboring men compose our Juries. The wealthy will not serve. They have neither time nor disposition to sit on Juries. What reason have they to object to a verdict against tliom, when they them selves do not hesitate to violate or evade the laws, or at all events the Justice, which poor men are required to obey? The Crowe verdict Is that so far as robbery Is con cerned Edward Cudahy la the greater crim inal. Crowe, therefore, ahall not wear the criminal's stripes and" stand behind the steel bars 'of a criminal's cage, while the former walks the. land free, clothed In broadcloth. That is the bare, naked mean ing of the verdict. And It is not wholly without reason behind It. however much sny of us may be offended or outraged by thus putting Mr. Cudahy and the proved felon, Pat Crowe. In the same category of violators of the law, to the wrong and In Jury of their fellows. Whether we con sent or not to that, the thing will be done. Today It Is the setting free of a confessed villain; tomorrow. If we heed not the sign of the times, It will be something in finitely worse for the men of great for tunes, doubtfully obtained." Savidare Fears Mob Rule. Rev, C. W. Savidge In hia sermon on "The Country Saloon" at the People's church Sunday night referred to tha Pat Crowe verdict. He said: "I think this verdict of acquittal is in swful thing. It sometimes looks ss though our Jury system has become a farce. If our courts and lawmakers cannot And a remedy for such excesses ss this our com munities . will he f ortd to do what the early settler did; thst is, to have a vigi lance committee. -We cannot keep down mob rule If things go on like this. The feeling of the people Is too Intense. The people feel far worse about this verdict than la generally known. Whose child la safe? they are asking. If men who commit crimes like this go free. I sm no advocate of mob law, hut it will be Impossible to hinder it If we have much more of the Pat Crowe kind of verdicts. I have hesrd It suggested by a number that there should be a meeting lb give voice to the public Indignation about the matter. I believe such a meeting should be held. The ver dict should not be allowed to go unre buked. As the matter stands now It Is a disgrace to our city." Opinions af Other Ministers. A number of other . ministers took occa sion to refer to the verdict of the Jury In the Crowe case at 'either the morning or evening services yesterday, and with few exceptions their reference conveyed a more or less strongly expressed Impression thdt a miscarriage of Justice of lasting dis grace to Omaha had been perpetrated. . Rev. John W. Conley of the First Bap tist church brought up the subject Inci dentally in his sermon on "Men's Disposi tlon to Dm; Sin," speaking In the strong est terms against the verdict. He charac terised the action of the Jury In acquitting the man after his confession and after such evidence as most astonishing. The result of the Crowe trial came iu for mention by Rev. Newman H. Burdlrk of the Second Presbyterian ehurch In his talk on the need of a revival of religion He said: "When a verdict can be returned ROBERT F.
