A Christian Endeavor Institute In several

other unique features which make this one
f tha greatest gatherlnga thla world-wide

Charrk.ee la leelal Werk.
A notable feature of modern eccleelastlcal
lire Is the great Interest taken by the
churcTies In soclsl problems. I Time wss
when the function of the church was Sup-
posed to ' consist In acting the part of
celestial guide to the weary pilgrim in his
Journey from the city of destruction to the
heavenly Canaan. Tha world was viewed
as a kind of vanity fair against whose
allurements the church anxiously warned
the pilgrim. That conception Is giving
place to another, but the duty of tha church
ta not going to urge men to flea from tht
world, but rather to wrest from tha Prince
of Evil, and then turn Its powers and re
sources to beneflclent ends. Thla paw con
ception dominates all tha churehee. Evea
tha Churoh of England la permeated with
tba social spirit, and ' among Its leading
clergy ara to be found earnest workers In
tba cause of Christian socialism. .
Mesi'a Movement ta Be Preeeaaj.
Preparations for tba men and religious
forward movement and the continent-wide
plan to evangelise the land and then gather
tha harvest Into the churches, will not ba
euapended for tha summer.
Another conference will ba arranged to

work for the fall and winter campaign In

nearly every Intervening stste has furnished
a quota.
The conference will begin on Saturday,

will continue until July 10. James O. Can
non, president of the Fourth National bank
of this city, wilt preside at tha opening.
Each day la to have a distinct top la, under

General Booth gives the following as his
fules for long life: "Eat little, drink water.

It is sometimes said that' the successor to
General Booth la unknown. This would
seem to be a mistake. Mr. Nlool, an Eng
lish Salyatlon Army leader, considers that
there Is only one officer qualified for the
post, and that is the general's oldest son,
Bramwell Booth.

such was tha result of tha safe and sane
Idsas of tha celebration of tha Fourth of
July, as exemplified by ' residents of the
West rsmara district, and by fathers ana
mothers of the kiddles who live In that
beautiful addition ta th northwestern part
of tha city known as tha Prairie Park club
district. , -
Tha tnoessant din of hs flant cracker, the
constant popping of ths smaller oracker,
and tha deafening roar of tha dynamite
bombs save way to parades ef various
descriptions, and to athletic tmt of all
sorts. When tha ourfew was rung, which
was dangerously near tha midnight hour,
not an accident had been chalked up.

the spirit of tha ealebratlon, which char
acterised tha doings of tha youngsters.
were every bit as hsppy snd tired as their
youthful offspring But tha relief came
the morning after when tha fond parents
climbed out of bed happy In tha knowledge
that their children were all there.
Not a thing was present to roar tha
celebration of the day save tha extreme
heat. But with Old Sol sending his rays
down as though they came direct from a
furnace, raised to white heat; the klddiea
enjoyed themselves with no thought of the
morrow. The sweltering heat was forgot
ten In the excitment of the festivities and
with tha aid of cold drinks all msnaged to
brave ths untiring efforts of the sun.
Never In the history of Omaha has a
national holiday been celebrated with sOcb
uniform success. Promoters of tha eafe
and aane Ideas felt amply repaid for their
unceasing labors undsr the sweltering rays
of the sun.
What little auggestion there was of the
old Ideas of noise waa limited mainly to
tha downtown, districts, where a few could
not suppress ths Mesa 01 wnooping ner
up a bit. Here and there, especially along
Sisteenth street, the barbarous Idsa of lay
ing tha street car tracks with dynamite
caps could not ba forgotten. Lata way
farers on their way home paid the penalty.
when the constant crack of tha caps jarred
soma from their slumbers and preyed on
the nerves of thoeo unfortunates who are
afflicted with such things.

But It waa out on West Farnam and In
tba Prairie park district that the Fourth
was enjoyed to Hs fullest extent. Varied
entertainment, as Interesting as novel, was
provided. Oames were arranged for the
afternoon. Toung and old participated in
tennis matches, tugs of wars, foot racea.
In which the eompetltora were g&rbed In
grotesque costumes, and In parades, which
elicited much comment for the wonderful
creations.
Oeorgeous displays of fireworks brought
ths festivities of the day to a dose. In
ths Prairie park district a display, costing
mora than 1140, was provided, while a
similar display waa given on West Harney

Tha games and other entertainment were
Interspersed with addresses by- well known
cltlsens, who took occasion to pull a few
feathers out of ths tall of the time-honored
and much-abused eagle. Roma Miller,
president of tha Park board, spoke to ths
residents of Prairie park on "Civic Pride."
Tha moving aplrlt In tha Park board con
gratulated tha Prairie park residents on
their schlevement and declared that they
bad built up the prettiest addition In the
city.
-The Saecessfwl Man.
'Success," said Mr. Miller, "does not de
pend upon the dollars which we accumu
late In this world. It depends more upon
tha homes ws build. I consider that man
successful who has bullded himself a home
and In It haa established a happy family.
I cars not whether he goes to his last
resting place with much ef this world's
goods. He who has built for himself a con
genial home Is the man who can truthfully
ba Judged successful."
Colonel T. W. McCullough of Tha Be
gave an Interesting history of Omaha, re
citing at length details of Its almost won
derful growth. He referred especially to
the development of the park and boulevard
system, declaring that for the amount of
money expended Omaha had a boulevard
system aecond to none. "And when we get
ready to spend millions upon our system
we will build one thst will excel that of
other cities, where many millions have
been Spent." said Mr. McCullough.
"Omaha has the natural advantages for
beautiful parks and for beautiful boule
vards. This has been utilised in a measure,
but not to tha extent that la possible. "
Rev. Edward Hart Jenks entertained the
celebrants on West Harney street with an
Instructive sddresa, In which he gave the
history of ths American republic, teljlng
how It had grown from a mere handful of
States, which had nerve to throw off the
galling yoke of the mother country, and
which haa risen by Its own ertorts to the
foremost ranks of the powers of the world.
Colonel John J. Ryder, also cf The Bee
staff, was master of ceremonies In ths
Prairie Park dlatrict. It was he who
directed the activities of the young and
old; It waa ba who Introduced the speakers
of ths svenlng in his own Inimitable wsy;
and It was he who, by his unceasing
labors, mad! the safe snd aane Fourth a

The Love of a "Bargain la born with

' Therefore, small blame to ths woman
who eh g a gee "la-Book." the Ladles'
Tailor, to make to her order, for S, tha
self same garments usually made and
sold by thla expert at no less than 110.
In fact, there Is a slogan among Omaha
women, that "La-Book never makes a suit
less than M0" but this Is usually sup
plemented by another slogan something
Ilka thla: "La-Book makes tha very toniest
garmenta In .he west."
So, If "La-Book." offers to make his

work with the skill of a veteran, and the
fact that there were no accidents, attested
to the masterful manner In which ha
handled thla detail.
Representatives of historical characters'
participated in the parades, both In Prairie
Park and Weat Farnam districts. It re
mained for Mrs. Gcorgs E. Mlckel, In
whose fertile brain the eafe and aane Idea
originated, to evolve a parade that was
unique. Thirty-five children, clsd In Im
maculate white, with the national colors
used as a setting, participated In the
parade, which wended Its way out Harney
street snd back again. Gladys Mlckel and
Katherlne Hastings represented Nebraska
and Omaha In the parade. Lillian Myer
waa Miss Columbia and Lorene Rosen
stock waa her escort. Beulab Clark waa
! Martha Washington. Tha children, wno
ranged In age from I to W years, onterea
into the spirit of the celebration with a
vim which evoked much favorable com
ment. Such waa also true of ths fesllvK
ties at Prairie Park.
When tha ahadea ol night fell on ths
Fourth of July. Mil. the residents of
Omaha had proved beyond ft doubt that
tha barbarous customs of the past are
burled, never to be revived. No maimed
children to protest against tba old order of
things was result reached, which even
ths most snthuslastlo could hardly have
expected. In the future, it Is safe to say
that safe snd sane celebrations will be
the ruls. Surely with the results of the
recent holiday to attest to the worth of
ths safs and aana Idea, there will hardly
bs those who will have the temerity to
suggest a return to ths former customs.
