Generally the ministers bad word of praise to pronounce on the dead and living of those stalwart sons of the Union whose brave dueds tor four years mokes Memorial day and Its observance a sad pride through out the country. I, a Grant post No. 110 and George A. Custer post No. 7, Grand Army of the Re public, with the Women's Relief corps of the two posts, were the guests of honor at Bt. Mary's Avenue Congregational church Bunday morning. Rev. I O. Bulrd preached the sermon from the text He brews 6:12, toe theme being the "Volun teer soldier." The application of the text was that the modern generation as Inher itors of Uie promises of those who wrought so much through their faith and patience should imek to perpetuate the memories of the volunteer soldier. "There Is a feeling that Memorial day Is acred to the volunteer soldlor," said Dr. Halrd, "and that his last resting place, be It In the national cemeteries or In the lonely grave wherever located In this broad land from the Atlantic to tho Pacific, should be remembered on this day with flags and flowers. The practice of the decoration of the graves of soldiers with flowers Is not a modern conception, as It was practiced In a ay by the Greeks over 8,000 years ago When the funeral pyres wore strewn with flowers and the empty coffin symbolical of the soldiers whose bodies could not be recov ered was also a feature of these funeral ' occasions. But the Greeks knew nothing of the volunteer soldier. Their soldiers Were usually hired mercenaries. The volun teer army can exist only In a democracy nd republic We do not sing In this day 'God Bave the King,' but do sing 'God Bave the People.' The motive of the volunteer In that Titanic struggle of over forty years go was firmly to establish the perpet uity of the Union of states from ocean to ocean. Ills Ideal was that of faith and hope. Ha had the faith of patriotism and patience. Faith without patience could ac complish nothing, ''We are the Inheritors of those who had faith and patience, I believe this day should be made sacred to the living, It should be to ua the lesson of faith, patience end obedience, taught us by Lincoln and ths volunteer soldier," Answers to Roll Call, An Incident of more than passing Interest during the services at this church was the reading of the roll call of the dead of the two posts during the last year by Cnarlos Ik Thomas of Custer post Tho list of the dead Is: Custer post, James Ktnkade, Eighth lowa cavalry, James 1L Peabody, surgeon Benja&iln F.

They strove to preserve this country In the strong union In which It had been established. "Today more than X 000,000 of the men who engaged tn the civil war have passed away, but their deeds live after them and will continue to live as long as man's memory endures. And whatever problems rise In this country, Ood will solve. The race problem will be solved. The Almighty had a purpose In bringing the negro to this country as he had tn bringing the Puritans, the Quakers, the Huguenots to various sections of the land." rilESEnVATIOX OP THE OLD I JIIOJI Greatest Achievement of the Conflict, ays Rev. William Kaplln. Hirst Memorial Methodist Episcopal church at ThlrLy-fnurth and Larlmore was beautifully decorated with the national colors In honor of the visit of Garfield circle No. 11, Ladles of the Grand Army of tho Republic. Nearly forty of the members of the order accepted the Invitation of Rev. William Esplln to be the guests of honor at Hirst Memorial church on this occasion. The services began at 11 a. m. and were preceded with a special musical program. Dr. Esplln spoke from the text. Second Samuel 11:7. "The civilising Influence of the war for the preservation of the union Is Its greatest achievement" said Dr. Esplln. "It was the greatest war of history and greatest In Its results. It demonstrated that the union of the states must be preserved at the sacrifice of many precious lives, and this sacrifice has made forever sacred and Indissoluble the ties that bind this union of states. "It was a period of great men, who alone could cope with great events. Lincoln and Grant were the colossal figures of that period, but Lincoln was the greater. He was molded In the fiery crucible of years for the exeat part he was to take, and no man has ever filled his part In human af fairs more perfectly than Abraham Lincoln, and none could have filled that part bet ter. Tet none the less glorious and faith ful was the work performed by the common soldier, who offered up his life, health and aspirations that the union might be pre served. "I have a profound admiration for the soldier who left home, , work, school and all the comforts of a peaceful home life to stake his all for his country. What can we say of those who remained behind In those terrible days of war to profit on the sac ri flees of those who went to the front? I can conceive of no more pitiable spec tacle than the man who, possessed of health and the proper age In the days of 1SG1 and 1866, failed to rally to his country's call. What years of suffering and anguish were those years of wart "We of this day and generation cannot know of the sacrifices, sorrows and agony of those bloody years. Who can picture the sadness of broken, homes, the weary waiting of mother, wife and daughter for those loved ones who would never come again. In the hearts of these stricken ones were fierce battles of despair and hope, fought with no less fervor than those on the sanguinary fields of Shlloh, Chlcka mauga, Antletam and Gettysburg. We meet today to pay our loving tribute In memory of the dead and living who wrought so much for us, for God and humanity. God speed your noble organization In Its work while we meet but once a year to pay to our patriot dead the tribute of a tear or flower. It Is your duty and blessed privilege to strew flowers dally along the pathway of the declining years of ' the soldier. We honor and love yon for this noble work, which has Its record, tn that blessed beyond, well done, well done." TIIF.in DEEDS LITE AFTER THEU Heritage fox Posterity Result of Soldierly Valor, At the Clifton U1U Presbyterian church yesterday morning the pastor, Rev, W. B. Furdy, preached a sermon from Exodus xtliM, "And this day shall be unto you for a memorial, and ye shall keep It a feast unto the Lord throughout your gen erations." The speaker pointed out that memory and duty are the keynotes of the day set apart each year for the commemoration of the brave deeds of the men of "41-'65. "We must feel gratitude to these men who sacrificed themselves In the hour of the oountry'e peril In order that future generations might be made happy and live In the land," said Rev. Mr. Purdy. "They fought not merely because It was a brave FOR FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES Secession and Slavery Represented the Isseies In Great Conflict. Members of Crook posts. Grand Army of the Republic, and Women's Relief oerps observed Memorial Bunday at Calvary Bap tist church, where special services were held for them. The veterans and their wives occupied seats In the 'center of the church. Owing to his absence from the city, Rev. E. R. Curry did not preach his sermon on "The Issues of the War," but his place was taken by Rev. John W. Con ley of the First Baptist church, who preached a memorial sermon. "A nation without a memorial." he said, "Is a nation without Inspiration, and a man who never hears of the wonderful efforts of the past is a man without Ideals. I wish to speak first of all of the meaning of the civil war. I would not do It to stir up the sectional feelings of the past The southern people are a noble people and we are drawing closer and closer together and the bonds of national union are be coming firmer and firmer. But nothing Is gained by obscuring the real Issues in the war.

Two principles were Involved and they are represented by the words 'Se cession' and 'Slavery. Secession was a great Issue. To destroy the union was to de stroy American greatness. The world stands In need of the uplift of American progress. Rend the republic In twain and the glory of the nation would be gone for ever. These are the two great Issues and we should not allow them to be obscured. "We remember the days of old, so we may be guided In our steps In the future. We are one nation, with one flag and one people. Let us say one flag Is enough. Let other nations leave their flags on the other side of the water. Recently In a parade In Chicago the red flag was car ried. That was treason and ought to be stamped as such. If the red with the white and the blue Is not good enough for any body of men the liberties of the land are too good for them. "The war did not produce the race ques tion. It merely enabled us to take the first step. It Is not a question of legislative enactment or of guns. It may be settled that way temporarily, but In Its last analy sis It Is one of Intelligence and manhood. Let character and manhood control, not race." Special music was furnished by the quar tet consisting of Miss Elizabeth Hemllna-, Miss Lillian Woolstencroft, G. C. Edgerly and H. B. McFherrln, with C. Scherff as organist and director. DR. LOVEIASD ANSWERS CRITICS Preacher Replies to Qnentlons on tbe JJesrro Problem. In a brief preliminary talk preceding tho regular sermon at the First Methodist Episcopal church Sunday evening the pastor. Rev. Frank L. Loveland. replied to a number of questions which have arisen as a result of his lecture on the "rsce problem" on the Sunday previous, which address was given following the speech of Senator Tillman In Omaha two weeks ago. Dr. Iceland's talk at that time was In reply to the South Cnrollna senator, taking Issue with him In strong terms on many of the main points presented. His state ments. In turn, awakened wide discussion and criticism was levelled at him from both white and colored people. In answer to them he said: "The first question Is, 'Is It true that four negroes are arrefrted In Omaha to one white person V No, It Is not true, nor do I know that anyone has made such a state ment. But, It Is true that there are four negroes arrested In Omaha to one white person. In proportion to the population. That Is the difference. "The second question Is, "What do you think of Booker T. Washington's work at TuskegeeT' I think he Is doing a great Work. I believe It Is worth a trip across the continent to see his Institution. It I a great work along lines of religious and moral advancement. I would ask you to read his book on his efforts and achieve ments and you will be amased. "I think Booker T. Washington Is a sane, sensible advocate of sane, sensible methods of work smong his people. I believe he Is worthy of the confidence of the public. He Is a man who always keeps In view the real conditions of the colored race, and the real conditions must always be taken Into consideration. Any man who refuses to look at the real state of the negro Is not safe, whether he Is white or black. It Is because people refuse to look at the facts that the problem Is made hard. "The third question, 'If the educated negroes are more criminal than the un educated, why does your church ask for money for teaching themT That Is a very pertinent question, but It Is asked by a man who has only looked at one side. Less than one-half of 1 per cent of the negroes of the Freedmen'a Aid society have be come criminals. It Is not so with the Christian education, which Is education of both head and heart, as with that of the head alone. "And this. Is the solution of the problem, I think, and any man who knows will think so. An education that teaches mo rality does not Increase crime among negroes and does not make them more dangerous. "The fourth question. Do you think the fifteenth amendment should be repealed, as Tillman said? If so, whyr That Is too big a proposition. This government never made a greater mistake than when it gave the franchise to the negro before he was ready to exercise It but it would be a still greater mistake to refuse him the ballot when he was ready. But I don't bellnvo It ever will be repealed. I would not let any man vote until he Is ready, whether he Is white or black. There are many men voting that cannot read or write their own names and don't know enough to shiver when It's oold, and I wouldn't let them vote whether Irish or Tankee, or whether they live in Nebraska or Alabama. There are a lot of them right here In Omaha, a lot of white ones, too." The materials we use are the best we can buy. And a partner in our business selects them. The goodness of Schlitz is due largely to them. But the supremacy of Schlitz as a home beer has been gained by the fact of its absolute purity. Purity is not so conspicuous as some qualities in beer, yet it is very expensive. That is why it is rare. But what does it matter how good a beer is if it is not a pure beer? If its use is unhealthful? If its result is biliousness? Ask for the Brewery Bottling. Common beer is sometimes substituted for Schlitz. To avoid being imposed upon, see that the cork or crown is branded Schlitz beer is known as the pure beer the world over.

Jameson of Ellsworth, secre tary of the Nebraska Land oV Feeding company and genera) manager of the Spade ranch of Sheridan and Cherry counties. Involved In land trials, was In Omaha Sat urday morning, enroute homeward from St. Louis. Mr. Jameson said: "The recent rains have been a magnificent thing for the cattle country. They put the grass In splendid shape. Cattle came through the winter In the best of condition. We were a little apprehensive during the warm weather In March because the grass began growing too rank. However, with the cold weather and frosts of April and the early part of May the grass was kept back seasonably and began to stool In greater abundance, which Is an assurance of the bent of summer range. Of course with us up In the cattle country grass Is our staple. Very little farming U done In the cattle country. I am not In a po sition to say just what effect the late sea son will have agriculturally, but along live stock lines It Is as w.U as we can hope for. Tbe late rains were needed and they mean a big hay crop. "No, we have not ben compelled to put the stock on feed during the winter and early spring season at all There has been plenty of range feed and cattle generally are In a little bett.r shape than usual at th. opanlng of the grass season. "On my trip through Missouri I could but notice that everything leoked pros perous In the farming section Much corn was already up, and the wheat looks well.

The culmination of ten years' work waa the dedication of the Swedish Methodist Episcopal church, a new brick and stone building at Nineteenth and Boyd streets, Bunday, by Bishop H. W. Warren. D. D., assisted by a number of, pastors of other churches. The dedication service began at 10:80 o'clock, when the first part of the ritual of dedication was read in the Swedish language by Rev. Peter Munson, pastor of the church. This was followed by a song by the congregation a prayer by Rev. Al fred Anderson of Chicago; Bible reading by the bishop, a song by the choir, a solo by Mrs. John Bwenson and a sermon by Bishop Warren. The bishop took for his text the words from Hebrews, 11:17: "It behooved Him In all things to be like unto His brethren," the theme being the humanity of Jesus Christ. He opened his sermon by declaring the ascription of Christ's divinity, which opened the chapter, to be the strongest in the Bible, and that whloh followed an ex position of His dual nature. "Man is born, grows In strength and knowledge. Is misjudged, maligned by his enemies. Is tempted, labors and dies. All these befell Jesus." said the bishop. "The attributes of the best type of manhood He possessed, made in the likeness of God. He was courageous and tender-hearted." The speaker then dwelt upon the growth of Jesus. His studies and growth In a Jew ish household, where the power of Ood and the truth of the doctrine of the unity of Ood-as against the polytheism of sur rounding people-was frequently and .t,onv asserted: where every develop ment In racial and national life waa at tributed to the perk-mal Interposition of Ood.

Former Pastor Present. The ritual of dedication concluded the service. Rev. F. J. Swanson of Pueblo has twice been pastor of the Swedish Methodist Episcopal church tn Omaha, and it was under his last administration that steps were first taken for the construction of the present edifice. The church which was dedicated Sunday is the third home of the congregation. In 1883 nine Swedes met and formed the first organisation of Swedish Methodism .in Omaha. A meeting place was secured In an upper room on Sixteenth street, between Cass and Webster streets. The first pastor was the late Rev. O. Alvln. This room was used for two years. In 1885 the congrega tion purchased the old First Methodist Episcopal church at 618 North Eighteenth streot. and for ten years used It. In 1R96. on Christmas day, the pr'nt house, un oompleted. was first used, and services havo been held there since that time. It fas a seating raraclty of about 2S0 In the auditorium and 126 In the adjoining Sun day school room, connected by shutters. Of the nine charter members of the thnM remaining are C. O. Lobeck and Mr. and Mrs. John Bwenson. who form part of the present enrollment ji The new building represents a total out lay of about HtaOO-48,600 the cost of the house. Of this amount $8,700 was unpaid Bunday morning and about W.000 of this sum was pledged before the end of the evening service. ,niir,o ur nnsil soan Is twice the sis. j. i h.n half ths cost of any brand of really good transparent soap.

Moore, Who la Professor of Theolosjy la Ban Anselsao Seminary. Formal acceptance of the call to the pastorship of the Westminster Presbyterian churoh at Twenty-ninth and Mason streets was made Bunday morning by Rev. W. S. Fulton, D. D., who waa called from Point Breese Presbyterian church at Pittsburg. Dr. Fulton arrived In Omaha with his fam ily Friday and waa tendered a reception at tbe church Friday evening. In announc ing his aoceptanoe of the call to the church, Dr. Fulton said: "When I was called to this church I did not fee) Inclined to accept, but when I came and became acquainted with tbe people and the conditions here I felt it was my duty as well as a great pleasure to acoept this call and I am sure If we werk together we will be able to help each other In the ad vancement of the kingdom of Ood." Dr. Fulton took his sermon theme from the First Epiatlo of Paul to Timothy, 1:8: "Now the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart and of a good conscience and faith and fame." "Tou parents sometimes become weary of trying to answer the queries of your chil dren as to the whys and wherefore emana ting from their growing minds," said Dr. Fulton. "These children ask the perpetual question, 'What Is this forr But this Is the question continually In the minds of students as well a children. But all stu dents and scholars take It for granted that things are what they are for some end. Now we have to with the system of truth. This system Is sometimes called the word of Ood because It Is the expression of God's thought for us. It Is again, as In our text, called the commandment. What end did Ood have In view when He gave It to usT End Is Love. "The end Is love; to bring that Into the hearts of men la the end of the whole sys tem of Chrietlan truth. We have thosl come to consider that the end of this com mandment Is the moralizing and civilising Influenoe of the nation. But the chief end is love. Love Is the fulfilling of the law It Is the essence of the gospel, and we love Him because He first loved us Is the only Christian philosophy. Love to Ood and love to man. "The restraints of God's commandments are wholesome to all men, even though they may seem Irksome, but In such a case the fault Is with the person and not with the commandment. The law is good; the com mandment Is a benediction for us. but per verted It will make our lives unloving, re bellious and hateful. Understand the pur pose of Ood's laws and use them according to their purpose and under their Influenoe we shall grow Into loving-hearted men and women, according to Ood's loving purpose. "In beginning my ministry among you, X can wish for you no greater blessing than that the truth as it comes to us may make us more and more loving-hearted people, loving Ood and loving our fellow man." Dr. Fulton Is the successor of Rev. T. Y. Moore, who left Westminster to accept the chair of theology In the San Ansehno sem inary in California. Though Rev. Mr. Moore has been gone for over a year, hie place, to which he had been bound by ties of the most cordial sympathy, waa left ua filled until Dr. Fulton came. Sersjeant Rasne Drowned. STTTRG1S, B.
