It cuatomers aeeklnif uewpapr round the nooa hour Saturday bad duliculty In finding newsboy they are hertoy informed thaX Lh young niercl.uta had an utf&tfa znant to lake dinner at 1 o'clock with a number of Judge., profeaaora, buainesa moo and club women of thai city at tha pariah buum 01 iriiuiy cameo rai. They were orry to disappoint their cuatomera, but. of course, bualnaaa men muat have aoma re laxation from the c&rea connected with the busy world and tor converaatlon over a avory dinner with great nilnua. The boys were maratutled by "Joe' Car roll down town and marched to the pariah house. There the women had boon busy all morning and eight long table were eet tn tlx different ruonie of the houae. "Mogy" liernaieln was chairman of the reoeytlon committee and, with Lean Beecher, re ceived the young merchants at the door. Paper aacks and left-over stocks of the papers were stowed under the ateoe and the Bueats lost no time In finding their places when the door was opened. The tables wers decorated with evergreen and about the room palms and other plants were arranged. When all the boys were seated Dean Beecher offered a short prayer and then the real business of the affair be g&A. The small army of women served the plates of steaming potatoes, turkey and vegetables. They did It rapidly, but those who were served last made good use of the Intervening time by an onslaught upon the fruits, celery and trfher "trlmmlnga." while the real sinews of war were being brought. Jellies and J ma. cakes and plea, bread and cheese and candy, all came In swift succes sion, but not too swiftly for the appetites ef the "newsies." Slasle reeds the Seal. Meanwhile music was provided, so that oul and stomach and mind were tilled at us a 4 the sste Um. And when the cheers were called for there was such an outbreak as can come from only the lungs of newsboys. One would have thought the wails of the house were falling. Among the spersrs at the after dinner program were I:an Beecher, Judge Sut ton, Judge Kstehe and Rome Miller. The boys shouted their approval of the remarks of all. Each boy carried a box of popcorn, a bag of candy and an orange at the door as he went out, though each was too full to even taste the candy Immediately. There was one great shout outside the building and then the young merchants hurried away once more to the busy mart. Mrs. Clara Burbank was the chairman of the committee In charge. The other women who helped in the work were Mmes. W. J. Broatoh, J. F. Wagner, R. E. Bush, F. U Hackman, J. F. Woolery, Charles Ogle, J. 8. Woltsell. 8. 8. Curtis, H. 8. Mc Ponald H. P. Jensen, A. Q. Maher, F. F. Porter, I. R Andrews, F. I Haller, Robert Bell. Rome Miller, T. R. Ward, A. H. Bewsher and Miss Olive Overton. The Elks' lodge gave J15 toward the feast and different firms provided some of the provisions, the women bringing the jellies and pies and doing the work of preparing the dinner. then made a wild dash for freedom, but was outraced by Officer Bmith, who had arrived on the scene. Malone was sentenced to thirty days In the county jail In police court Saturday morning and in the mean time an Investigation will be made to see If he Is wanted In other cities. In speaking of the difficulty he had had In subduing the prisoner, Chief Savage said: "He was more than my match physically and I had to use the butt of the revolver, something I 'dislike exceedingly. I fired the shot to frighten him Into submission for, although 100 people looked on, not one offered to help me, even though I told them I waa an officer." CROWD GIVES NO ASSISTANCE One Hsmdred People Watch Detective Taasle with The. Wlthoet Tarmia a. Ilamd. Chief of Detectives Savage had a bard tussle with a desperate criminal about :45 Friday evening at the corner of Thir teenth and Douglas streets. In front of the Stars and Stripes saloon, which was witnessed by least 100 spectators, none of whom offered the least assistance to the officer, even when It was apparent that the trouble was likely to turn out badly for the doughty detective. Chief Savage saw Dan Malone of Chicago, a hobo built like a pugilist who Is believed to be a notorious crook and thug, In a fight with a man who run away. The chief told Malons he was an officer and tried to place him under arrest, when Malons grabbed for the chief's revolver, but Chief Savage got the weapon first and hit Ma. lone over the head, felling bun to the ground. Malone was on his feet like a flash and made a rush at Chief Savage, who was not a physical match for Malone. and grabbed the tuussle of the revolver. The chief frightened th belligerent by firing off the revolver toward the pavautsnt and Ulw BANKS REMEMBER EMPLOYES First Rational ail Stock Yards Give Cash Christmas Present to Each One.

SHAFTS HURLED AT THE EVANGELIST Wh- rnlTersallsaa Teaches. Its Origin nnd Its Modern Ex. , ponnders Freedom from the Bondage of Bin. OMAHA. Deo. a To the Editor of The Bee: Through the medium of your paper and by the request of friends I wish to of fer a few words of explanation In answer to the unchristian attack of the so-called Dr. Torrey on universalis, a synopsis of which appeared in The Bee of Wednesday, December 12. I regret that I could not have done this while the gentleman was In th city, but my attention has Just been called to the matter by a friend sending me a marked copy of the paper. My faith Is dearer to me than my life. In spite of my Quaker heritage, if my Ufa were at tacked I certainly would defend myself. Therefore, I feel called upon to say a few words In explanation or In defense of my faith. First, the unlearned doctor classes uni versalis m as amuns "the refuse of lies." This statement is not worthy of an answer since it only reveals the Ignorance and animus of the man. If he knows anything of history he must know that unlversallam or restoration was taught almost ex clusively for the first five or six centuries; In the purity of the early church. Four out of six of the great schools taught the doctrine of universal restoration that la. at Alexandria, Cusserea, Antloch and EM ess, . while the on at Ephesus taught annihilation, and that at Carthage eternal punishment. Vhe Alexandrian fathers gave ths world ths first systematic statement of Christian truth, and the essential part of this system was the doctrine of final resti tution. The doctrine of eternal torment came Into ths church about the fifth cen tury by th arbitrary edict of th Roman emperor and a council of men. actuated not by the Christian spirit, but by the bit terness of persecution that led on to the Dark Ages and the long centuries of martyrdom, when th innocent were burned at the stake. Says Canon Faxrar: "XU first individual trass ef this ducuuis occurred In the fierce pages of the African Tertulllan, whose ferocious disposition of fered a fitting engine for Its propagation." This man delighted In pronouncing invec tives upon the poor pagans, who were more Chrletllke In spirit than he, for he told them how he would laugh and exult when he should behold them groaning In the low est abyss of hell. If Tertulllan were living today he might emphasise Dr. Torreys doctrine to literal, physical hell, but I doubt If he could make It more hideous or inhuman. Bald a learned church man to me on the occasion of my last visit In Iowa: "Why, you people In Omaha must have forgotten that John Calvin died three centuries ago. Now." said he, "the good people of Des Moines also have a revival In operation, but they are not getting hell fire; they must be better than you people In Omaha." "No," I said, "my explanation would be you have a better type of revivalist." Belief ef tinlvcrsallsta. The statement that unlversallam does not believe in hell "because God Is too good to damn any one," Is false and mis leading. It Is the language of ignorance or insincerity. Unlversallam does not be lieve in the material eternal torment of the dark ages when the sealous Justified themselves for burning the heretics at the stake, as they claimed God wonld burn them through all eternity. Unlversallsm does believe and teach that reason, revela tion, the nature of God and the experience of man teaches Uod is Just and metes to every soul the just recompense of his deeds; that every violation of the divine law, physical, mental or spiritual, hath Its penalty; that God's law Is not for revenge, but for restoration. Through all nature we see the law of compensation. Unlver sallsm teaches there Is no true happiness In a disobedient, sinful life. Obedience, harmony, holiness, happiness, are steps by which ws ascend to the higher life In time or eternity. Bvery soul Is heir to life Immortal and must some time, some place, come to Its heritage. What we call sin Is the result of ma terial environments and limitations, seen from th eternal hills of the divine; it Is good tn the making or th way of cor rectlon and restoration. The wrong that pains my soul below I dare not throne above; I know not of His hate I know Ills goodness and Ills love. True Unlversallsm never made the love of God an excuse for wrongdoing. On the contrary. It - believes . and teaches to - live religioa la love, the only true motive of service to God or man. "Is your Unl versallsm making you better?" Unlver. aallsta might with all propriety turn about and answer him by asking, "Is your creed not making you any better T" Judging from his unfrrac10"." attacks upon Chris tian Scientists, Episcopalians and Univer sallats, w should Infer tnat there is still room for growth In grace and knowledge. Unlversallsm, as an active principle In the souL must and always does make the life better, for It Is nothing without growth in truth and righteousness. As Jesus grew Into perfect manhood, expressing the di vine Ideal in life, so I believe every soul should grow. When I think of the grand opportunity Dr. Torrey had while In our city, with his following of splendid men and women, I wonder If the results In the future will be adequate to the vast expenditure of energy which might have been converted Into a living faith in the lives of our people In stead of bitter denunciations upon those who could not believe In his worse than heathen teaching. Fallacies of Re-llalon. Of all fallacies the fear of death as n lash to drive people to profess religion is the most cowardly and Ignoble. I have waited by the bedside of many of the larger faith, have seen the angel of death lead them through the 'Valley and the shadow." and more peaceful, resigned, beautiful, hopeful deaths I never would wish to witness. Perfect love and faith In God casteth out fear. Unlversallsm comforts In the day of darkness and sor row as no other faith can. It does not re sort to theploglcal subterfuge and strate gem tfi save Its own wherein it would con demn others, but It points to the star of eternal hope that shlneth for all. Unl versallsm has been the faith of multitudes of the great and good of all ages. Proph ets and seers have spoken In Its name. Among the moderns a numerable and In creasing number have arisen, among whom we are pleased to name Canon Farrar (whose "eternal hope" led me Into the light long before I ever heard a unlver sallst sermon), Heber Newton. Philips Brooks, Rabbi Hersch, Dr. Channlng, Par. ker, Chapln, Beecher, Emerson, Whlttler, Longfellow and our beloved Clara Barton, Lucy 8tone, Mary Llvermor and Julia Ward lipwe. Unlversallsm will give the life of faith, the life of Jesus to the world In the fu ture free from the bondage of fear. The time will soon have passed for the evan gelist of the Torrey tyi. The evangel of truth, "peace on earth, good will to I men," will opme Instead. A beautiful , prophecy of the future was to me the com ing to our city of quite another type of religious teacher a quite unostentatious, gracious woman Miss Brownlee. Her coming was not loudly heralded, but teachers, mothers and many Intelligent people heard her gladly; the good seed will spring up and bear fruit, the chil dren will be saved because the divine na ture within them will be unfolded and nourished by the tidings that are true, pure and of good report. This la Unl versallsm, no matter by whom taught or what It shall be call.-d. It Is 'the uni versal truth. MARY G. ANDREWS. Bait Over Elixir of Life.
