places the building at the northeast corner
of Sixteenth and -Harney streets, which

The architec tural style of the new edifice
is ( rmtm Hoi hie. It is built principally of
white limestone. The exterior dimensions
are l.tr?:Hn feet, making roominess one of
th"' main features. Construction, which
was In the hands of John H. Unite, general
contractor, reulrcd more than a year. The
plans wore ihade by Tumbull & Jones of
Klsln, 111.
Th" exterior of the church has been much
admired, but few had seen the finished. In
terior until Sunday morning. Praise of the
most extravagant, kind on the beauty and
tate of the ensemble was the rule of com
mendation. Few If any Omaha churches
surpass It in richness, general harmony and
exquisite IlKhting effects. The art glass
window over the altar Is a triumph of Its
kind, its coloring bring an almost marvel
ous example of Illumination. The altar,
furniture and fittings are entirely of dark
oak, finely modeled and curved.-
Krveral Ministers Offlrlnte.
The services In the morning were of a
predlcatory character. Rev. J. E. Hummon,
the pastor, was asslated by Dr. Bauslln,
Dr. ' Frank D. Altman, president of tha
Western Theological seminary at Atchison,
Kun.; Dr. Alonzo J. Turkic, pastor of Trin
ity Lutheran church at Alleghany, Pa., and
pastor of the Kountze church 1XH0-SS, and
Rev. Luther M. Kuhns, general secretary
of the I.uther league of America and a
former Omaha clergyman.
All these ministers participated In the
dedication services proper in the afternoon
and at the vesper service in the evening.
The full robed choir. In charge of Prof. E.
D. Keck, and with D. Clair Bennett as or
ganist, rendered special music at all three
of the services.
80 Urge were the throngs attending that
Jt was necessary to reserve the seats nnd
handle the arrangements similar to thoH!
common In a theater. Palms and flowers
were the only ornaments used and even
these sparingly, as the beauty of the walls
and windows required no further .adorn
ment.

And now this Kountze Memorial Evanvel

Sermon by Dr. Uaaslla.
After the recitation of the Nlcene creed
Dr. Bauslln delivered an impressive sermon,
dealing -with the vitality of the church and
written about the words of the Savior
regarding the imperishability of His church.
Two of his thoughts were these:
1 believe that the ilmlts of the tme
church do not coincide with the limits of
any ecclesiastical organization or all ec
clesiastical organizations; that the history
of these, organizations which are called
churches cannot he separated from human
Influences, political. eeoKruohlcul. contro
versial, emotional or hereditary; that no
one 01 these could by anv noss hllitv es
tablish a claim to bo organically the body
of Christ; that the fallacy of such ex
cessive claims Is shown by the very act of
making tnein; that the true imdy of Christ
is coinposca 01 an in wnnm trulv lives
that divine life of God's spirit which is
the life of the body of Chi'tnl breathed Into
ft In the day of Pentecoxt and that this
multitude, which literally no man can num
ber, for man can know all in whom the life
la, and all whose profession of that life
ia false, this .Innumerable multitude, this
"congregation of the saints." only this la
the trtie church of Christ on this earth.
The center of the church is no longer
Jerusalem, not even Palestine, for It has
sent Its lines out lt.to all the earth. Hindu
ism is confined '.o Its Indian peninsula;
Buddhism isVAslatlc only: the religions of
. China uro naVrowed in by the great wall
and the Yellow sea. A few exiled Paraees
feebly keep the sacred fires of the once
powerful Persian faith Mlight on a for
eign shore. The green turban of Moham
medanism Is no longer a symbol of do
minion, hut Its blind and falling strength
lies stretehd In mortal sickness along the.
Hosphnrus. 'Every one of these the church
has encountered in positive conflict and has
been more than a conqueror, and even from

forth Into more vigorous life. Todav Its
polo lies are ended; Its deanlstlona are
over. past, and the sway ia coextensive
witn mankind.
Dr. Tnrkle Permna.
Dr. Turkle preached the sermon In the
morning, saying In part:
Peace and prosperity go hand In hand.
Tou cannot have one without the other.
In an individual they are all that can be
desired. To a nation no greater blessing
can come. The Christian cannot breath
a more comprehensive prayer than that
eaee and prosperity dwell In hla beloved
ion.
I'nrrst and dlsoiiietude have come to
some eccleslsstical servants. Denomina
tions are confronted with proposals to
change views and doctrinal beliefs. Our
church Is still true to the old confession.
peace Is within our walls and It ia a
matter for congratulation that the Luth
eran churrh has been preserved through
these skeptical times, hip over vests
It has taught from the scripturea and the
scriptures only, and It Is not -now likely
to be swerved from Its path.
This congregation Is now most splen
didly eipilpiied to accomplish larger things
for the King. The root 01 an true pros
perity Is a grateful and reverent recogni
tion of Ood.
This clav. when you take possession or
vour new building. Is the beginning of a
period of great possibilities. With such
an equipment, not rivaled by any other
Lutheran church In this country, uoa naa
placed a great trust In your hands, a trust
that must he administered not alone by
praying and preaching, but by personal
work. You are to go torwsra in uoa s
name and with Hla help by the power of
the Holy Ohost.
"ervlcee of Dedication.
For the dedication the ministers, church
council and choir assembled In the base
ment s,t 3:30. The ministers beating the
Hibles and communion vessels and the
deacons the offering plates moved In pro
cession to the vestibule, where they stood
during a portion of tn? responsive ser
vice. The procession then moved slowly
up the aisle to the chancel, 'where the
Bibles and sacred vessels were deposited
In their places. H. Q. Harte, chairman of
the board of trustees, then formally pre
sented the building, which was received
by the pastor, who said:
Dearlv beloved In the Lord, forasmuch
as devout and holy men, as well under the
law as under the gospel, moved eltner by
the ex Dress command of Ood. or by the
secret Inspiration of the blessed Spirit,
and acting agreeably to their own reason
and a sense of holy veneration, have
erected houses for the public worship of
God, and separated them from all unhal
lowed, worldly and common uses. In or
der to fill men's minds with greater rever
ence for His glorious majesty and affect
their hearts with more devtlon ana nu
millty in His service. whlch pious works
have been approved of and graciously ac
cepted by our heavenly Father, let us not
doubt 'but that He will also favorably ap
prove our Godly purpose of setting apart
this place In solemn manner for the per
formance of the several offices of religious
worship and bestow His blessing upon this
our undertaking.
Vesper and ErrnlnaT Services.
The vesper service of the evening l al
lowed the ritual. The sermon was de
livered by President Altman of the West
ern Theological Seminary. In the after
noon ihe members of the congregation

VETERANS' BAY AT THE CHI RCHES
Old Soldiers Tara Oat to Attead
Memorial Services.
The March like chilliness of Sunday's
weather had the effect of diminishing to a
limited extent the attendance of the Grand
Army veterans at the Memorial Sunday
sen ices as compared with Memorial Sun
days of previous yeurs. The Interiors of
the churches were prettily decorated with
flags and patriotic, emblems and the for
ward parts of the churches were reserved
for the old soldiers and their auxiliary as
sociations. The rriembers of Custer post to the num
ber of about fifty assembled first at their
hall In the Continental block and marched
in a body to Diets Memorial Methodist
Episcopal church on South Tenth street.
The post was met at the Burlington station
by Custer Woman's Relief corps and the
two organizations marched from there to
the church. Garfield circle No. 11, Ladles
of the Grand Army, had already preceded
the post and corps to the church and
opened ranks and saluted the post and
corps as they passed through the open
ranks of the circle Into the ci.-urch. Rev.
D. W. McGregor preached from the teit.
Esther lx:at The address was an impres
sive adaptation of the Jewish memorial
days of Purlm- wherein, as the text states.
And that these daya should be remem
bered and kept throughout every genera
tion, every family, every province and
every city; and that these days of Purlm
should not fall from among the Jews, nor
the memorial of them perish from their
seed."
Crook post and corps attended the serv
ices at Benson Methodist church, and not
withstanding the distance from the city.
upwards of forty of the old veterans and
a like number of the Woman's Relief corps
were present. Rev. i. M. Leidy preached
the memorial sermon, taking for his text
the "Significance of Ensigns and Beacons.
He told of their significance in atlmulat
Ing great achievements and none more
so than the American flag In stimulating
endeavor for the benefit of humankind.
Orant poet and corps to the number of
nearly 100 attended services at Trinity
Methodlat church. Twenty-first and Wirt
streets. The sermon was preached by Rev.
J. Randolph Smith, and was more of a
patriotic address than a sermon. It was re
plete with eulogy of the soldier and women
of the civil war. ITpon the conclusion of
Dr. Smith's address a veteran arose and
moved a vote of thanks to Dr. 8mlth for
his address, the motion being carried unan
imously. Another attestation of apprecia
tion was the request of the old soldiers to
be permitted to take Dr. Smith by the hand
and thus each personally thank him for his
effort.
At all the churches music was rendered
by special choirs appropriate to the occa
sion. PK DAY. OF REST FOR TOILERS
Plea of Edward Taoaapaost, Head of
aaday Leaarae. .
Edward Thompson, general manager of
the Sunday League of America, occupied
the pulpit at the Hanscom Park Metho
dist churrh Sunday morning and apok
In the interest of the work of the order.
Mr. Thompson's headquartres are In St.
Louis. Ha Is th son of on of the former
bishops of the Methodlat church. He has
been Identified with the society for the
last thirteen yeara and told of the good
which had bn done. Th object of the
league is to better the conditions of the
working people in respect to Sunday. He
haa been making a tour of the various
states and told of tha great good which
had been accomplished, especially In In
diana, where be had the hearty co-operation
of the governor.
He said great good had been done al
ready by th leagu and that It influence
waa being felt more and more. Ha railed
upoa tba toaraacra at th oiiurch ta 00-
operate with him to alleviate the rendi
tion of those people who were unable to
get a day of rest.
Mr. Thompson spoke at th First Con
gregatlonal church In the evening.
DR. SMITH PREACHES FAREWELL
Paator of First Methodlat Bids His
Chareli flood-Bye.
Rev. E. Comble Smith preached his fare
well sermon to the congregation of the
First Methodist church yesterday. At the
close of the morning sermon he spoke feel
ingly of the relations he had sustained to
the Omaha church and expressed his ap
preciation of the manner In which the
people of the church had co-operated In
the work of the pastorate. He asked for
his successor. Rev. Mr. Staufter, the same
cordial treatment that had been accorded
to him. While the time of parting had
long been expected, he said It was hard
to say farewell to the people with whom
he hnd sustained such close and pleasant
relations.
The morning sermon was appropriately
based on the text, "And the glory Thou
gavest to me I have given to them." He
said In part:
"What Is there for us to learn from
th history of the churchT Simply this!
That there Is one thing In th world that
IS the noblest of all, that Is higher than
ny other. There Is on institution that
alms at the very highest, at the loftiest.
That Institution is the church of Jesus
Christ.
"Gathered together In the churches of
th city are the people who are aiming
at the very best and highest in lift. But
outside the churches are thousands to
whom we are as if we were not. I am
not posing as a Pharisee In saying this. I
am simply emphasising that ' the church
of Ood stands In every community for
that which Is lasting and enduring. I
want to Impress the dignity of dlsclple
shlp. "There are three sources from which
the church derives its Importance. First,
In the churchi the fact of Ood and the
consciousness of Ood Is emphasized. In
every nation there Is something reach
ing out after Ood and they will find Him
even If they have to t make Him out of
wood or stone. This is one of the things
the church of Jesus Christ stands for.
'Again, th church stands for worship.
Man Is called a worshiping being. We
all worship In ona form or another. The
church also speaks to us because It tempts
us to holiness. Creeds and statements
of doctrine may change with the times.
but two elements In society never change.
One Is right and the other Is wrong and
when the church stands for holiness it
stands for superlative righteousness. These
things enter Into the makeup of the per
fect man."
At the farewell reception given to Dr. E.
Comble Smith and his wife by members of
the First Methodist church Saturday even
ing these resolutions overe adopted:
Whereas, Dr. E. Comble Smith has been
our bellved and honored pastor for nearly
lour years past, during which his un
tiring ministrations have been marked by
unusual success, tne church debt reduced
from over HO.11OO to less thun 115,000, the
membership greatly augmented, the be
nevolence largely increased and all de
partments of our church work permeated
and inspired by his energy and spirit of
helpfulness;
And. Whereas, while his sermons have
been distinguished by their ability and
spiritual power, he has not permitted pul
pit preparation to interfere with his pas
toral labors, which have been most effi
cient, a personal blessing to many, es
pecially to the poor, the Inexperienced, the
sorrowing who sought his every-ready sym
pathy, counsel or help;
Ana, wnereas, at his request he has been
relieved of his duties here to assume im
portant work elsewhere; , therefore
ne it resoivea ny tne members or. the
First Methodist church and friends here
assembled, that we do herebv uniwlmouslv
extend to Dr. Smith and his most estimable
ana beloved wife our sincere and heartfelt
wishes for aucoess and bid them Godspeed
in their new field of usefulness and com
mend them to the confidence and love of
l nose so fortunate as to secure their serv
ices, devoutly praying that the blesaina- of
our Heavenly Father shall . attend;
And he it further resolved, that coplea
of these resolutions be handed to the public
prcna lor punucaiion.
Sl'XDtY SCHOOL WORKERS GATHER
Preliminary Meeting; to Preabyterlal
Institute la Held.
As a preliminary to the Preabyterlal
Sunday school Institute to be held at the
First Presbyterian church Tuesday, a mis
sionary rally waa held yesterday afternoon
In the church parlors. Rev. Alexander
Henry, D. D., secretary of the Board of
Publication and Sabbath School work, pre
sided, while Rev. Mr. Htlkerman of Ne
braska, Rev. Mr. Taylor of Tennessee and
Rev. R. S. Suiter, missionary workers,
made short talks on the work being done
In the Presbyterian mission field. A goodly
attendance of Omaha Sunday school work
era was present and gleaned much that
was helpful from the experiences related.
Rev. Mr. Taylor, a negro missionary,
said the colored people of the south are
rapidly grasping the advantages offered by
Christian workers, and he took an optimis
tic view of the future for his race. He
expressed the hope that those engaged
In the work of uplifting the colored peo
ple would seek to uplift the home through
school and church education.
Rev. Mr. Sulzer gave some Interesting
anecdotes of his twenty-eight years' ser
vice In the Minnesota field. He Impressed
upon his hearers the Importance of every
Christian being a missionary so far as
possible, explaining that It Is not neces
sary to leave home to do real missionary
work.-
CHRISTIANITV AND BrIESS MAW
CI aim a of Former t poa !,atr, . by
Dtaa Beeeher.
"Th Claims of Christianity t'pon th
Business Man In Hla Businas and In Hi
Horn" was th subjoct of an address by
Dean George A. Beeeher at the Sunday aft
ernoon meeting of the Toung Men's Chris.
tlan association held at 4 o'clock yesterday
at the Lyric theater. The address was a
plea for more Christianity In everyday
business life.
"We are living In an age of great com
mercial enterprise and seal," said Dean
Beeeher. "On every hand w see evidences
of progress In the things which make for
material strength and beauty. Our own
city ia growing rapidly both In numbers
and In wealth. It is hard for one to realize
that the humble village of canvas and sheds
of fifty years ago ha developed Into the
magnificent proportion of the Omaha of to
day, with It beautiful churches and hos
pltals. Its public libraries and Institutions
of learning and its constantly Increasing
commercial progress; a city that ia destined
to be the ruling power not only of the
state, but of the great country that lies
stretching Its waves of fertile aotl westward
to the Rocky mountains.
"The business man today Is no loiigrr
content with th things that wer wonder
ful a few year ago. Th atrenuou life is
the spirit of the age and we are reminded
right here that this high tension on the
nerves of the human system is fast telling
ita atory of depleted life. Men are falling
upder the physical strain without living
half trteir days. It Is well for us to take
heed how we build on the foundations
which our fathers have laid. There are
certain elements that are Juat aa essential
to the development of a strong civic char
acter as they are essential to th Individual
character. The moral aa well aa the civic
character of any great city will always
exert a most powerful influence upon the
surrounding country and determine In large
measure th character of th state.
"Th strength of a city does not conaUt
la public buildings and park and boUHt.
varda, but In the character of Its peopl.
th purity and force of Its laws and the
aocuraey of their administration. If there
la lack of character In our municipal gov
ernment w must look for the source' of
the difficulty not In the failures of public
Officials but In the sluggishness and Indif
ference of those who possess the right of
franchise.
"I am sure we will all agree that religion
Is on of the essential dements In the de
velopment of a strong civic character. The
danger In this matter of rellglt n Is not In
open opposition to Its principles or Its doc
trines, but In the lethargy and Indifference
on the part of the business men towards
Its teachings and Its claims. If th man
In his business utterly Ignore the princi
ples Inculcated In the teachings of Chris,
tianlty and yet participates In aU the bless
ings which have come to him as the direct
result of religion Is it not plain that he Is
living as a parasite rather than vital
force.
"This Is on of the sad conditions which
confronts the church today, that condition
In which men placidly sooth their con
sciences Into a state of guiltiness, while
they boldly- prosecute their worldly affairs
with the most questionable and pernicious
methods. The day Is at hand when a man
can no longer be a saint on Sunday and a
devil six days In the week."
MISS SPRINGPOUTS ALL DAY
Weather Is Raw, bat JSot Enough to
Kee-o Crowd Away from
Haaacom Park.
Miss Spring had a pouty spell yesterday.
For some reason which Weathermaker
Welsh would or could not divulge, she of
the vernal breezea and budding flowers did
not come out and play. Once or twice she
did take a peek through a rift in the
clouds, but practically all day kept her
pretty face covered with a leaden sky.
Th Indisposition of Miss Spring did not.
however, prevent quite a number of people
from going to Hanscom park, where George
Green and his band rendered an excellent
program of music, the first of what Is hoped
111 be a aerie of Sabbath concerts at
Omaha's pretty family garden spot. Though
many attended the concert In garments
more appropriate for the lingering day of
Winter they enjoyed themselves amid the
natural beauties of the park, the added
charms of landscape gardening and the
music of birds and band.
This waa the band's program: "

The concert at Hanscom park brought
back recollections of the popular Sunday
concerts which were In vogue for years at
the park, which was the rendezvous for
thousands In quest of Sunday rest.
The Careful Observer and Oldest Inhab
itant yesterday afternoon remarked . that
Hanscom park never .looked prettier than
It does this season. They remained through
the concert until tha last number, "Amer
ica,"; had been played. When the tune of
"America" was started they began to sing
the national anthem,- thinking the tuna waa
meant as vox popull affair. A bystander
nudged the patrlotlo pair and they stopped
singing. . , -r
There was no concert at Itlvervlew yes
terday. The visitor at that resort-were
few. The boo at Rlvervlew Is getting to be
an Interesting attraction for Sunday crowds.

tions of Mis Emma Klofat, 80s Hickory
street, a IS-year-old girl, regarding whom
another youth waa stabbed last winter by
a rival suitor for her favor. Brown, Bow
man and the girl had been at a dance at
the hall during the night and wer about
to return home at 2:30 a. m. The girl, a
asserted by friends, bestowed so much at
tention upon Bowman as to arouse th
Jealousy of Brown, who was looked upon
mor aa a "steady" than Bowman, whose
acquaintance with the charmer dates from
but two weeks hack. As the time for going
home approached Brown was heard to ay
he intended to take the girl home him
self. Bowman evidently entertained th
same Intention.
Bowmaa Strike and Rons.'
When the three reached th car tracks.
In front of the hall, th clash came, and
Brown fell to the street and lay still. Bow
man turned and ran south on Dorcas
street, leaving th bon of contention to
go home alone. The blow had been seen
by two friends of Brown, who chased the
fleeing youth several blocks without catch
ing him.
The police wer soon on th seen and
took Brown to Bt. Joseph' hospital In th
wagon. He was gasping for breath when
they arrived, 1 and was at on ttm pro
nounced dead by a police surgeon n rout
to tho hospital. For the next two hour
his death was expected almost momen
tarily, but he then began to Improve and
it la now believed he has a splendid chance
4o recover.' The blade penetrated th lung
on the left side. Dr. Lord and Polio Sur
geons Morsman and Ware worked over
him until the immediate danger waa re
moved. . '- '
. The stabbing affair with which Miss Klo
fat was connected before was that In which
Ed Hlntoo waa stabbed In th breast by
Harry Brldwell last December, after a
Saturday night dance at the same hall. It
took place at Thirteenth and Dorcas streets,
within 160 feet of the Brown-Bowman fight.
The girl was a spectator in each Instance.
Hlnton recovered from the wound and
Brldwell waa discharged from custody, aa
the Hlnton . family refused to prosecute.
Brovra'e Seeond Close Call.
This Is not th first time In the life of
young Brown that he has been pronounced
dead by a police surgeon aent to attend
him In hot haste. About four years ago
tha boy received a blow on th head In a
free-for-all fight during a ball game on a
Sunday afternoon. He fell limp to the
ground and while some tried ineffectually to
bring him to, others sent a riot call to the
police. Brown was taken to th police
station still unconscious, and the surgeon
working over him said he was dead. City
Physician Ralph, however, arrived and suc
ceeded In atarting the flow of llfa.t .
Chief Donahue expressed himself as fol
lows on the subject of .dance halls:
"That -stabbing affair was a deplorable
one," stated the chief yesterday. . "For
years I . have been advocating the closing
of Saturday night dances at 12 o'clock, but
various societies have secured permits from
the mayor to extend the dancing hour be
yond midnight, the results being In some
Instances fights and stabbing affrays after
12 o'clock. I always hav been outspoken
In this matter of closing dance balls at
12 o'clock Saturday night, and the sooner
that rule Is strictly enforced th better
It will be for the community." .
