"The Supremacy of Jnui Christ" was the
subject of Rv. W. 0. Bugeby of Waverly,
IU.. in his sermon at Tlymouth Conjuga
tion! churrh Sunday morning. He Is a
candidate for the pulpit ,Wt by Rev. A. J.
Folsom and will prearh sraln next Sun
day. ;Wi havo brn prosperous for a dossn
years and strvsms of mony have rolled
unoeaelnKly scross our land, but today
In Omaha dssplte Its wealth. Its prospects
and Its material advents , there Is a
multitude of kneeling and crouching men
and women who need the touch of Hlra who
has the power to give health and strength,"
said the clergyman. "Without that power
try touch and bless us we know we are
the verleet orphans In the universe.
'I prefer ' pictures 1 of (lirlet radiating
health and help to representations showing
him borne down hy the wooden cross on
the way to Cslvsry. for It seems to me that
the Christ weigher! down bodily by a mere
chunk of mood Is not significant of His Im
mortal life snd strength.
Jeaas th ill In All.
'Tor Paul, a scholar among scholars. It
was neceaaary that Jesus should appeal to
the Intellcrt. snd Paul shows us the pre
emlnnce He Is to have over men led by
brtlns. Each msn, as 'he goes to his work,
no mstter what It Is, ran find In Jesus
Christ what he longs to be. We behold the
figure if Christ dropping words of explnna
tlon and solution of the problems of man.
In the supreuincy of love Jeans matched the
need of John, who was a man more of the
lir.irt than the heiid than Paul.
"Considering Jesus Christ, the creator,
we find that srlence discusses the method
ami not the fact of creation. Whether It
be by flat, by law or by evolution there
lien something else and that aomethlng else
was In the grip of Jesus.
"In the historic view Jesus gave us re
ligion, the unity of Ood and family life.
From Calvary the light of the cross has
lllinnlned the progress of civilization
through the world, nation by nation and
century by century.
"The supremacy of Jesus has not yet
reached the degree of teaching It should
In our church life. It should dominate all
Christian sects and make them cnc. Change
the reremonlHls and pliice In their stead
the spirit of "Christ, something that the
chu-ches themselves do not have to give
but which must come from higher
authority."
THHKl; THIXi TUN III RCH NKKDS
Wider Version, Deeper Sense of Ite
aponalblllly and Consecration
Rev. Newman It; Burdlck discussed
"Three Things We Need" In Ills sermon at
the Second Presbyterian church yesterday
morning. In part he said:
" "Dr. Chapman once said the church Is
not holding Us own.' I do not believe this Is
true In Its rullest sense, but in one sense
the church Is not holding Its own. We all
know of people who have been In the
church or within Its Influence who have
fallen Into sin. If the church were walk
ing altogether worthy of Its vocation do
you think there would be many such cases?
I say In the entire city of Omaha there
Is not a church that Is doing a great work
Some are a little more than holding their
pwn. 'some are not. but point me one that
Is remarkable for lir spiritual power. What
we iioed is a revlvul of religion. Many
ministers are feeling thst something must
be done for the kingdom of Christ In this
city.
"If we are to do this we must have three
things. We must flrat have a widening
vision of our opportunities. We have been
too contented. Wc go to church If it Isn't
too hot or too cold or too wet or too dry
or too something else. A vision of the
whitened Held of opportunity Is what we
want.
"The second thing we need Is a keener
sense of our personal responsibility. If you
are a Christian you cannot escape your
responsibility. There Isn t a man or a
woman In a church In Omaha today who
Is nut personally responsible for a share
of the sin and Qodlessness that exists here
today. So I put part of the responsibility
'for the lapsed memberships upon the mem
bers themselves. We are also responsible
for the unconverted.
"The last thing we need Is a deeper con
secration.' The man who Is consecrated to
Ood must give up all forms of self-tnd.ul-gence.
Consecration means that the 1-ord
ahar everything you have. You have your
social position and your business. They
are not yours, but God's. Are you using
them for Him? There Is only one way
consecration can be shown and that Is by
service."

Lunch" Sunday morning. The application
was to (how the Importance of "the lad"

Interests of the world today as It was
when "the lad" was found among the mul
titude that had gathered to hear Jeeus

In meeting the msterlal wants of the mul
titude, but they had the Master with them,
and It was then Andrew told Him there
was a lad among the multitude who had
fire loavea of barley bread and two small
flshea from which the multitude was fed.
TVs have the lad always with us and In
him Ilea the resources of the future. The
lad has been prominent In all history and
In all times as a most potent factor In the
world's destinies. All the great activities
of life have been wrought out by nrl who,
as boys, were brought up In poverty, as
In the rases of Joseph, Moses, Jesus,
taither, Lincoln and Oarfteld.
In the boy at today Is the president of
tomorrow. Jewua said: It Is better that a
millstone should be about your neck and
ve dropped Into the sea than .that ye
should cause one of these to stumble.'
Benedict Arnold wan a traitor, but not
a greater traitor than he who sells the
spiritual birthright of his child. He who
educates one boy strong In morals Is bet
ter than he who piles up great wealth. It
Is for our day and generation to see that
child Is trained religiously. The problem
of human life la closely woven on the
thread of poverty. However little we bring
will become great by the will of Ood."
THONGER If MHAIj CHARACTER
Ran Franrlsco Will Proflt by Disaster,
ays Rev. K. H. Hadloek.
"San Francisco will be rebuilt more beau
tiful than ever." said Rw. E. H. Hadloek,
a preacher of the Oolden Gate city, at
Grace lyutheran church Sunday morning.
"It will be a better city from the moral
standpoint than before. People say San
Francisco was a wicked city. Well, In
some respects It was not so bad as other
places; It had not the vicious slum ele
ment of Chlrago; it had not the extreme
poverty of many other cities. Yet I will
not deny that It was the home of much
wickedness gilded with gold. But I do not
think God destroyed It because ' of Its
wickedness. It was a city of great Influ
ence, situated at the gateway between the
orient and the Occident, and If It should
rise from Its ashes as corrupt as It. was
before. It would corrupt the nation and the
world.
"We are going to build up the churches
and Increase the slse of the congregations;
It Is our purpose to reform the social and
civic life of the community; It Is our am
bition to make it a more moral city.
"Although the city Is smitten, Is down
In the dust, and some parts are dead and
burled so that resurrection is seemingly
hopeless, yet the people are possessed of a
faith that overcomes great obstacles. It
will rise from Its ashes more beautiful and
stately than It ever was."
Mr. Hadloek was speaking from the text,
"This is the victory that overcometh the
world, even our faith," and took the spirit
of the people of San Francisco as one il
lustration. "Our churches are in a crippled condition
on account of lack of funds." he continued.
"In my church on Kaster Sunday there sat
700 people and the Easter offering was be
tween $750 and $800. On the Sunday after
the earthquake the collection was 49 cents
and since then it has never been more than
9. The debt on our church is $9,000 and it
was badly damaged by the earthquake,
so that now we need about $15,000. Many
other churches are in similar circum
stances, and very many even more un
fortunate, for their buildings were totally
destroyed. But in thi face of all this there
is one most encouraging circumstance the
disaster seems to have made people think
more of religion, and the congregations ate
larger each Sunday than they were before
the earthquake."

Hawaiian Band at Aadltorlnm.
The Royal Hawaiian band, accompanied
by the Royal Hawaiian orchestra and glee
club and half a doxen fine soloists, both
Instrumental and vocal, will open a week's
engagement at the Auditorium this after
noon. The music these skilful musicians
produce Is far out of the ordinary beaten
paths and of a nature so sweet and seduc
tive thst they stand slone In the muslcnl
world. They present a program more
varied, more captivating,' than any musical
organization in the world. Captain H.
Berger, formerly a German bandmaster,
connected with the Prussian army, Is the
only member of the great organization who
Is not a native Hawallsn. Captain Berger
has been at the head of this band for
nearly thirty years and to his tireless

pavilion until J or J o'clock In the morning.
Tha Desert News of Salt Lake City says:
"When the Royal Hawaiian band finished
its second program at Solitaire last even

each of the sixty musicians, his hat laid
aside, rose to play It, there was not a man
In the splendid audience who failed to doff
his headgear and stand at attention until
the final strain of the grand old melody
died away. This band has captivated Salt
Lake City and has done It in a single day,
and during the week' which the band is to
play here it Is bound to create a sensation
which Salt Lake City will long remember."

Conference at Rio Will Hare Matter Before
it for Consideration.
RIGHT OF DEBTOR NATIONS INVOLVED
Forcible Collection by Korelstn Powera
to Be Declared tasapported If
the Argentine Proposi
tion la Adopted.
WASHINGTON. July 2T.--ln a secondary
place in the progrsm of what is destined
to be one of the most pregnnnt of Interna
tional gatherings, the third conference of
the American republics, is set down the
Drago doctrine so named after Its ex
ponent. Dr. Luis M. Drago, a learned pub
licist of Argentina. Yet In Its bearing upon
the future, not only of the little republics
of the southern hemisphere, but upon the
nsttons of the world, even upon the great
est. In their time of misfortune and dis
tress. It should easily comnisnd first plsce.
For, according to the Ideas of the originator '
of the dictilne. It should mean the very
perpetuation of their Independent national
existence.
Reduced to Its simplest terms, this doc
trine Is a declaration thst no nation hss a
right forcibly to undertske to collect debts
owing to Its citizens by snother nstlon.
And the proposition before the ran-Amerl-csn
conference, which It Is asked to submit
to the great Hague tribunal Is, to what
extent. If at all, the use of force Is Justi
fiable In the collection of such debts. Nat
urally the question thus propounded is of
the most vital Interest to every debtor na
tion, and most of all to the practically de
fenceless republics of South and Central
America.
Reason for the Declaration.
The three Americas were wrought up to n
pitch of Intense excitement In 1!K2 when
the allied fleets of three greet European
nations Greet Britain, Ocrmany and Italy
appeared off the coast of Venezuela with
declared Intent to collect by force debts
owing by that republic to their citizens. A
few American warships wer there, too,
but merely as passive spectators. Amer
ican citizens were large creditors of Css
trn'a government, but the American ships
had not come ns debt collectors. They
were there to guard sgalnst any Infrac
tions of the rights of neutrals; to prevent
bombardments of helpless snd defence
less ports; to restrain excesses, and above
all, to look after American Interests In
cluding the Monroe doctrine.
Argentina wss the first of the southern
republics to raise a note of protest, and
It csme In the declaration of the now fam
ous Drago doctrine. Directed by Doctor
Drago. then minister of foreign relations of
Argentina to the government of the United
States through Senor Garcia Nerou. min
ister of the Argentine Republic In Wash
ington, It aroused all of South and Central
America. It even excited sympathetic re
sponse from a considerable portion of the
press of America, and so strong was the
sentiment aroused that, In dread of a hem
ispherical consolidation against them, the
allied blocksding powers gladly availed of
the good offices of the United States to
submit the Issues between themselves snd
Venezuela to the arbitration of The Hague
Tribunal.
Effect on Iitln-Amerlca.
But a profound Impression has heen
made upon the South and Central American
republics by the blockade, and Dr. Drago's
protest, and the feeling of resentment en
gendered had not been lessened by the de
cision of the august Hague Tribunal the
"packed court," as they called It, on the
ground that the judges represented only
the great creditor nations adverse to Vene
zuela. '
The United States had returned only a
most cautious and discomforting reply to
Dr. Drago's note In the shape of a re
minder to her sister republics that the
Monro doctrine shielded their territories
against final annexation to European pow
ers, but would not protect them against
any lesser action by their creditors. The
president of the Argentine Republic re
fused to accept this construction of inter
national relations and made Dr. Drago's
declaration the subject of special endorse
ment in an annual message to the Argen
tine congress and since 1902 this doctrine
has been discussed in every South and
Central American capital.
There was no lack of opposition, and
notably Brazil, through her semi-official
newspaper press, combated the Argentine
proposition, being herself on good terms
with the European creditors.but professedly
anxious to avoid the submission to a
European tribunal of a doctrine essentially
American In application, he Washington
government also was not willing at the
time to commit Itself to the Drago doctrine.
There were many Americans owning con
cessions in South and Central America and
the West Indian republics, and possessing
bonds of those republics, whose holdings
might be cancelled at the whim of any
revolutionary president, were forcible col
lection made an Impossibility.
The discussion of this Important question
was academic and without special signif
icance until it was suddenly, last winter,
thrust upon the committee on program,
composed of representatives of the prin
cipal American republics then in session at
the state department, considering the sub
jects to be submitted to the Rio conference.
The first proposition was embodied In ar
ticle IV. of the program in these words:
A resolution recommending that the Sec
ond Peace Conference at The Hague be
requested to consider the extent to which
the use of force for the collection of public
debts Is admissible.
But not all of the republics represented
were willing to admit that it was right to
use any degree of. force; a bitter conteet
ensued in the secrecy of the committee
room; In this case ths diplomatic room at
the 8ste dupartment. and finally a com
promise was reached by the Insertion of
the words "Whether, and if at all" Jtisi
after the word "consider" In the original
article.
But some of the South Americans are
still of the opinion that this question
should not be permitted to come before The
Hague tribunal in any shape, so a spirited
contest is probable, as the Rio conference
discusses this proposition. In fact, Dr.
Drago, the putative author of the doctrine
bearing his name, refused to represent his
government In the conference, because It
was proposed to submit this American doc
trine to The Hsgue tribunal
Expansion of Calvo's Doctrine,
The Drago doctrine Is said by publicists
to be merely an expansion of the Calvo
doctrine, dear to the hearts of Latin-Americans,
but never engrafted upon interna
tional law. In its essence that doctrine
was a declaration that any claim against
a nation by a foreign citizen, or even a
foreign government, must be adjudicated
by Its own courts and under no circum
stances was a proper subject of diplo
matic representation or negotiation. That
doctrln hss often been asserted In opposi
tion to the presentation of such clsims,
but so far without success when the claim
was advanced by a nation of superior
strength. Even the United States Stat de
partment hss disregarded It, notably in
forcing a settlement of the claims of the
Salvador Improvement company sgalnst
Salvador, and Is again pursuing the same
course ae to Venezuela In the matter of
tb asphalt and other American claims.
