THE OMAIIA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, MABCTT 26, 1006. cnuRcn of the living god Central Tttnctiou ii to Support Gospel m Revealed Throuijh Christ. TO CHAMPION TRUTH WITH ALL ITS POWERS nt Faoah Pimply Itesnnnsl a rnpalar Demand of PrmrhlnK Only Plennant 9lu of Ihr Doctrine. "The Church of the Living God" was ihe subject of the sermon by Rov. H. C. Herring at the First Congregational church yesterday morning. In part he said: 'The living God referred to In the passage was, of course, the God revealed through Jesus Christ and the church of the living ;ol waa the Hum of those organisations that represented God before the eye of nie.ii. Anything that makes for Itself lnrge thing la subject to large criticisms and the church has had Its share of these. There Is no lie, no Impostor, no super stition that has not at some time found a place In the church. If any proof of the truth of the living God Is needed It Is found In the. fact that Its church has survived all of these. Any human Institution would have perished. . The history of the church has been sad I at times, but sadder still Is the history of th world In which the church existed. However dark the history of the church has been at times, even at Its darkest It has been the brightest thing In the world. The light of the church hns never been utterly extinguished and Ita light has al ways been brighter than the lights of men. "The central function of the church is to support the great gospel of love and truth as revealed through Christ. It cannot do this by mechanical means. It cannot up hold the truth by merely administering the sacrament or by preserving It In the rigid form of theological statements. This error Is still In the world. It can do It only by championing the truth with all Us ran somed powers. Many would have us preach only the simple form of the gospel of com fort without relation to. the collateral In terests of the kingdom. This Is demanded by those who wish to conform decently to the form' of religion and seek pleasures at the same time. Thai Is not enough. Wo must uphold In our lives the truth In all forms and activities which this mani fold life takes on." ( niMISMO OF THE FBEAt IIF.R First Fnnetlo Is to Prearh, Says Bt, C C. rissell. "Does a man have to plant his feet in the dust of a town, live, grow and perish there In order to attain the rights of cltlsenship.' asked Rev. Clyde Clay C'lssell of the Hans com Park Methodist church Sunday morn Ing In his sermon on "The Preacher's Com mission." Mr. Ciscell was objecting that when a local preacher spoke not long since on the subject of civic righteousness, a newspaper should have taken occasion to remind him that he was a citizen but for a little while, and" that soon he would pass on to another place, "I know there are many people today who regard the preacher as a superfluous number," he went on. "Borne of them ac- tually think the time will com when he not only will he a superfluity, but will be rele- gated to the social dump pile. lt him keep to himself, says society, and devote himself to prayers for women and children, leaving other things alone, and for the present we will tolerate him. "But for all that the preacher has a com mission and he Is bound to fulfill It. Gd needs the preacher and he Is the only man necessary to the divine plan. Every man. woman and child is In a larger sense and a simple way a preacher of the gospel. I should not like to think I was the only prencher In this church, prenehlng some- thing like Iro sermons a year, but that the church consists of S75 preachers, who preach every day In the year, making In all 140,009 sermor.s. "It Is an age when there is great danger of forgetting that the first duty of the Christian minister Is the preaching of tho gospel. I know of churches where the gos- pel Is a secondary consideration; they are looking for a man who has great executive power, ability to gather money and build churches, social graces, evangelical powers to attract tie masses. While It Is desirable that he should possess all these good qual- At the gospel meeting yesterday after lttes, they are only subsidiary, and his chief noon Mrs. Joseph Hardin sang two solos business should be to carry the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is his duty to preach to the poor, the poor In mind, the poor In purse and the- poor rich. It Is his duty to carry the water of life to the suffering souls and to bind up broken hearts." GOOD DIVORCE HAS ITS IXFLIEX E Separation for Growth aad Develop asont Alone Riant Lines. "Wherefore come out from among them and be ye separated, sayeth the Lord was ths text of a sermon of "Good Di vorce." delivered by Rev. J. E. Hummon of the Kountze Memorial church Sunday morning." "Considerable discussion Is being In dulged in over the question of evil di vorces, their cause, prevalence and rem dy." said he. "A convention ' recently has been heU In Washington to consider these matters to see if some remedy could be devised. The evil of divorce, when con sldered In relation to husband and wife, Is of sufficient importance to receive seri ous consideration. "Society should rise en matse against the evil, and all who believe In the sanctity of the home should strive to force the ipssage of such laws as to make evil dl vorce a thing of the past. "Good divorce has neither evil In Itself nor la Its consequences. - A separation for growth and development Is good, for cer tain Influences retard and check a man s growth. Good divorce la the separation of man from these Influences which retard his glow th. Urowlug corn among weeds 111 not thrive, tares will destroy the wheat and bugs will destroy the potatoes. So Christian character; if It Is to grow and liecome stalwart It must be free from those retarding and demoralizing influences of the world. ' It was never Intended that the good and the evil should mix, for' the good soon will swallow tha evil or the evil will soon de stroy the good. Religion and rum were never intended to mix, aa was shown by the failure of Bishop Potter's subway scheme. 'Do evil that good may come' Is a vicious principle. A Christian business man has more power for righteousness and God than a minister." COD' LAWS HOLD OFF s DESPAIR -Mplrltnal Decrees tinard .tgalaat Con dltloas of Rain. "If by any chance the laws of society should be annulled anarchy would Imme diately supervene, said Rev. Newman Hall Burdk-k at tho Second Presbyterian ihurcn Sunday morning In a sermon on God's government. "The sauie conditions exist In the spiritual world. It Is because of certain laws with relation to God tlial ae aro guarded agalnat despair. God descends to the smallest and pettiest de tail of your life and mine and watches over these details With ths same care and th same concern with which he presides oxer tho destinies of His universe." It waa Dr. Burdlrk first appearance la kls pulpit lur several Sabbaths. 11 had been confined to tha'alck room. Ha added : "AH human purposes . must be .subject to God's demands. This la true whether are will It or not. The divine government Is a disturbing Influence In human affairs. We should be willing to do whatever God tails upon us to perform. If sacri fices are required we must submit. But divine government also Is a progressiva element In human affairs. God. disturbs a person only to nmvc hlin on to something lietter.

Storm for Omaha Cornea er Leaving; Death In Its Wake. The electrical atorm yesterday, the first equinoctial disturbance, came near leaving death in Its wake. A stroke of lightning bMiii A-!tn .-rnkfi4 the A trntritr of .Tnbn Klfty.gth Rnd Poppleton ave- .-,. k M- Henanisii and left him In uncon,cou, tt. Dr. A. R Mack was summoned. "I can scarcely perceive yet," said the. doctor last night, "how death was averted. Mr. Hensman, his wife and six children were In the houso when the lightning struck It on the northeast corner. Ii would not have been surprising If all had been killed, for the stroke must have been a severe one. It fairly tore off the north end of the building and left just one whole window. Every other one was smashed to pieces. Furniture In all rooms was turned upside down. The . house Inside and out waa a complete wreck and a per fect picture of desolation. Mr. Hensman had been badly stunned, but not Injured so that dangerous results are yet liable to ensue." AH day a dense, mist-like fog hovered over the city. The day dawned cloudy, but rather chilly, for a little mist that was falling froze on the pavement making a slippery surface. As the day progressed the atmosphere moderated and the mist developed Into rain, which continued Into the night. Lightning and thunder accom panied the precipitation, making a day and night dismal and decidedly disagree able. Karly In the afternoon It became neces sary to have street cars lighted, particu larly In the front, that they might be seen some distance. ' Without the head light a car could not be discerned for more than a block distant during part of the day. WOMEN FEEL ENCOURAGED W. '. A. Workers Begin Second .Week of t'nmpalan Stlmalated by First Results. Today Is the beginning of the second Week of the Young Women's Christian assocla tlon campaign, and the workers will start out with new energy and. enthusiasm, for the announcement of the results of the first week's soliciting was most gratifying and the women have every assurance that the 13S,0flo will be raised In the required-time, Too much oredlt and praise cannot be given I to the ten teams, each composed of ten young business women, for the success of their, week's canvassing. These young women pledged themselves to raise 110,000 i from the wage-earners In the four- weeks. and at the end of the first week nv Avar half that amount already raised, iq thy have, strong hopes of raising fS.Onf) before the four weeks ar up. The rivalry be- tween these teams Is Intense and promUes to grow very exciting before the end of tho campaign.

"A secretary will be Installed and people may drop In there and leave their pledges and donations. The clock also will be erected and will register the amounts as received. The finance committee met Saturday and discussed many propositions and business matters. While the meeting was In session a pledge of $1,000 was received by mail. and a very Interesting address was deliv- ered by Miss Elizabeth Jones, formerly secretary of the Toung Women's Christian association at Stoux City, who la assist Ing In the campaign. "Our Possessions'' was her subject, based on the first twelve verses of choper I of II Peter.

Tl result Is that this attraction has made splendid success and Is entitled to a place In the front rank. The fact that Johnny and Emma Ray head the cast also gives assutunce of a full supply of sldt-splittln doings, and the musical numbers are cie scribed as being tuneful and melodious.

WORKMAN IS KILLED BY FALL Frank Sholta a Victim of Accident la Tearing Dovru V. M. C. A. Bui lain a:. The work being done for J. K Brandels & Sons on Douglas, between Sixteenth nd Seventeenth streets, claimed another victim yesterday when Frank Sholtz, aged about 36 years, stumbling over . a . brick lying on a window cap on the second floor of the old Toung Men's Christian asso ciation building, fell to the .- floor, then out through the window and landed on his head and shoulders on the hard pavement, dying about an hour afterwards at the Methodist Episcopal hospital. Sholtz was employed by Walter S. Jar- dine In the demolition of the association building and was removing stones over a second story window in tearing down the walls. He had cleared a window cap, but on Its upper surface lay a -brick which proved the means of throwing Sholts to the ground. Just at the same moment tho parade, of the Colored Knights of Pythias was passing up Sixteenth street, and It waa asserted by some of the other work men Sholts was attracted by th music of the band, relaxing his vigilance for his own safety, and possibly even attempting to cut a caper to the tune of the melody on his lofty perch. In falling he first struck' about seven feet below, then slid out of the window. ' He waa rendered tin conscious by the blow and shock. Dr. W. 8. Glbbs was fortunately near at hand and Dr. Fitzgerald waa also sum moned. Sholts remained In a comatose state until sent to the Methodist hospital by Dr. Gibbs. He did not live long after his arrival, tha great shock and conges tion of th chest with the other Injuries causing death about 1:30 o'clock. Sholts had roomed recently at 603 South Thirteenth street and had also spent some nights with a friend at the Stat hotel 1312 Douglas street. He had been em ployed a number of years as teamster for Walter Jardlne, proprietor of th Omaha Merchants' Express and Transfer company, and had lived in Omaha Intermittently for nearly twenty years. H was married about five years ago to -en Omaha dress nmker, but the two did not live long to gether. Where the wife is now has not been learned. Little is known concerning the dead man among his associates. The only known relative Is a sinter, who resides In a small town In Nebraska. ' Coroner Bratley will swear In a Jury a the scene of the accident at 7 o'clock thi morning, before the workmen begin tear Ing down more of the building. In order to have the building demolished and removed on contract time the con tractors worked their men yesterdsy, al though it was the Sabbath. Further ope rations sere concluded for the day, how cvr, after the accident. FIREWORKS FROM TROLLEi Daageron Accident at Twenty Fonrth ana Cam Ing glreels from Fallen Trolley.

Is In many respects the best Of the sen son. It has all the elements that ought to appeal to the patron of this cIhss of en tertainment, and, 1 addition, makes a strong bid for the appreciative attention Of those who are Satisfied only by the artistic. Valerie Bergere. long ago estab lished ss an artist ef the truest type, Is holding forth with her condensed version Of "Carmen." Miss Marie Doro Is credited with having dramatised the opera for Miss Bergere, and she has done nn excellent Job. Into the one act slle bus not only compressed the story i but has remitted Its intensity of dramatic action, and sustains Its Interest perfectly f mm Its opening to Its tragic close. Don Jose loves Carmen madly, but she tires of him. and seeks to cast him off for the toreador, Kex-anil!lo. Jose, mad with Jealousy, and stung by her floutlnga and brazen acknowledgment .that she Is tired of him. stabs her to death. In no other character "jf the many she has been seen In here does Miss Ber gere show to such splendid effect her qualifies as an actress. ' She is an Ideal Carmen In appearance and manner, and the cold, calculating, sordid nature of the Gypsy cigarette maker Is given fullest expression. 8he Is Selfish, capricious, re- pellant In her -manner. Her fickleness in love la but a. part of her untamed nature, and her death at the hands of Jose seems most ' logical. The company with Miss Bergere Is very good, the work of Henry Keane as Don Jnse' being excellent, and that of Miss Maude Turner Gordon as Zara in' a measure equalling that of the star. Tho stage setting for the act Is a beautiful scene In the Spanish mountains. Charles R. . Sweet, ,"The Burglar," keeps his auditors laughing' for twenty minutes, and Bonnie Gaylord Is almost as successful with her "girl from Posey county." The Grants made a tremendous hit for their first appearance. They sing several sonrn very well, and their dancing Is excellent. The LrPages do a Jumping act that must be seen to be . understood. It is far and away the best single athletic feat offered here this . season. Paul Kkist has his spectacular novelty , working better than ever, and his effects are really startling, while the whole thing is productive- of much laughter. Mme. Ktnmy has a flue lot of well trained. little dogs, who do a number of very pleasing stunts. The pic tures are also worth looking at. "The Rivals" at the Boyd. Two very small audiences were at the Boyd theater yesterday to we Joseph Jef ferson and William W. Jefferson in Rich ard Brinsley. Sheridan's fine comedy. "Tue Rivals." Those who did take the trouble to attend were richly repaid, for a delight- til . performance was given. William W. Jefferson appears as Bob Acres, and is a most sprightly and unctions aspirant for the hand. of Lydia Languish. Ills concep tion' of the role Is broad and comprehensive. nd his interpretation Is intelligent and satisfactory. Joseph Jefferson as Sir Lucius O'Trigger abandons, some of the tradition connected with the role, but In the main makes It one of. the features of the place. John Jack, incomparable John Jack, is still doing Sir Anthony Absolute , ns only he can. Rosa Rand's.. Mrs. Malaprop is a classic and Mlsa Render's Lydia Languish Is also well done. The whole company Is good, and, the only, regret connected with th affair Is that t,dld not have a better chance to get beo,re tjje people.'

M!ss Beulah Poynter is the leading woman of the or ganization, and her work as Dora Thome Is very effective. , The stage settings are good. Th play remains until after Wednes day, night, with, another matinee Wednes day. "My Friend frons India" at the Bar. wood. The Woodward Stock company does this farce In capital style. The big Sunday houses roared from the start to the finish. Mr. Morrison Is the theosophical barber and Is clver and .funny and manages to cleave, somewhat from a scries of similar parts gone before., Mr. Da vies has a fat role In Erastus tTnderholt and plays It ex tremely well. Miss Lang Is fetching In new gowns and a permanently attractive presence. Miss Marie Hudson makes one of the big hits of, the performance In the part of the Gorman maid. Miss Ward nd Mr. Morrison manage the famous mirror scene with excellent effect. Mr. J odd. Mr. Simpson, Mr. Schofleld, Miss Hall and Miss Davis are In the play and do commendable work. Mr. Owen Is again the real article In the way of a missionary urotner and is comical. Kansas City is mentioned frequently In the farce, usually to Kansas .City's cter nal ahame, and Is the originating point of the pork packing family gone east to break into society. in fact that several of th principals own that town as their home gave a certain test to the enjoy ment of the audience.

The services were opened with a brio! address by Deputy Supreme Chancellor W. H. . Iewls on th subject, "Progress of Christian Organizations." He gav a short sketch of the growth of the colored Tythlan order In the I'nlted States, which Is known as the Knights of Pythias of North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Austral.'n. . .

Address of the Day. Rev. J. A. Bingaman spoke on "Love of the Brotherhood . and Fear of God." He said in part:- "lou come here, as a body, of men be lieving in a supreme being, and a society that Ixilcves In and worships God and tho Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. You believe In the fatherhood of God and brotherhood of men. You are brothers by a racial tic, though we aro all descendants of Nonh, nnd hence constitute a brotherhood of blood from which sprang all races of men, bo they blacks, reds or . whites. After the dispersion of the races there arose a class of - priests, philosophers and poets who ob served their various codes' of ethics. The priesthood as the heads of the religious orders adopted. system of . secret and pub lie worship. The secret worship was called the mysteries,' the object of their mysteries being to preserve; tho truth from corrup tion, and from this system came the or ganization of the secret societies and later fraternal orders." . Orlatn of Kntghrs of Pythias. Tho speaker then went Into a history of the organization of the Knights of Pythias, th. origin of Its name and the Inspiration . in the, .story ot Damon and Pythias..' He told of , the .good resulting from the , principle , of, tha order - when faithfully carried . out by the members. which stimulated them to loftter aims and Instilled into them a . pride of unity and devotion -to the principle of brotherly love. "The white man .Is looking at you," he continued, "and your destiny lies In your own hands. There Is no other race of peo ple that excels the negro In numbers on this continent. There are 10,000,000 of them, but of no other race. It Is up to you as a religious brotherhood to solve the great problem of tho negro question. "T-her are two reasons why the !sck man stands apart from his fellows as a race. One Is he has been taught not to associate with the other fellow and the other Is because of the Inherited treachery of the race, which Is not his fault. The word. Ham. from whom he Is descended, means treachery. It Is only by brother hoods such as this that tho race can be brought together. "Keep strong, you strong men, for we don't know when we will need you. The negro has suffered long. No race has suf fered more than he. Yet no race has made so rapid a progress ' in the last century as the negro. I do not predict a conflict between the two races. t Is only the low. degraded whites and low, degraded negroes who think of such a conflict and who would foment such a strife. Make good citizens of yourselves. Be a credit to your race and carry out the principles of your or der, and. above all, have the fear and love of God In your souls. Tor whit proflteth It a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?' " . BIG HORN RIVER ON RAMPAGE Bridge Taken Oat at Basin and More Damage Likely to Be Don. CHEYENNE. Wyo., March 26.

All streams In the Big Horn country are rising rapidly, the lowlands are flooded and ranchmen and others are fleeing to higher ground. Many valuable properties are inundated and tho loss will be something enormous. Three large ice gorges have formed in the river above Basin and as the channel is conmletely blocked, it is expected a disas trous flood will occur there. During the last two weeka more thsn two feet of snow fell, cold weather prevented the snow melting until four days ago, when a sudden thaw set in. The flood rushing down the Big Horn will swell the Missouri river and will undoubtedly result In destructive floods In that streaas. Preparing for Pair. HI' RON, K. U.. March a. (Special.)
