GOSPEL IS OilLY
MIS TO SOLVE
DREAD-PERILS
Great Autocracies in United
States Must Be Drawn
Together by Belief in
Jesus Christ.
"The gospel of Jesus Christ is th
one and only means available to the
world today to help it out of the
dread perils" which fill the future,"
declared Rev. Taul G. Luce of the
Presbyterian Theological seminary,
preaching yesterday at St. Marks
English Lutheran church.
"There are two great autocracies
in the United States today, that of
labor and that of capital. And there
is no way that I can see to draw
these two together to grounds of
mutual co-operation and satisfac
tion except -the way found in the
gospel of Jesus Christ, which in
spires unselfishness and love for the
other jctlow.
."Outside of the gospel, I don't be
lieve there is any other way of solv
ing our great temporal problems
which face the world today as never
before. God's promises are sure.
They are backed by the incalculable
power of God and they spell un
limited privileges to those who ac
cept them.
Jews Hold Power.
"These promises run like a scar
let thread through the whole Bible,
from Genesis to Revelations. God's
purposes are sometimes obscure but
In's promises arc always sure, In the
ages when the Babylonians and Syri
ans and Persians were persecuting
the Jews, people perhaps said that
God's promises to the Jews were de
feated. But they didn't see with the
long vision of God. Where are the
Babylonians and the Syrians and
Persians today? The Jews are in a
position of power and influence such
as they have never occupied before.
"The heathen races laughed at the
Christians in the days of persecu
tion and said their God had forgot
ten them. But today the nations
that follow Christ and the true God
rule over all the earth. They live
the happiest lites and enjoy the
highest form of civilization.
"It is belief in the gospel of Christ,
the good news. Let no man deceive
himself into believing that he can
save himself by means of good
works and 'living a. decent life.'
Belief Saves.
"Of course, a ,man who believes
the gospel does' good works and
lives a decent life as a natural con
sequence, but it is belief that saves
him, not the good works or the de
cent life primarily. As welf try to
lift yourself by your bootstraps as
to save yourself by merely trying
to be decent.'
"Great events are happening in
these days as they never happened
before. Perhaps God intends to
bring a great spiriial revival to
enable the world to meet properly
the vast political and social prob
lems that clamor for solution. Henry
Bergman sirys the trouble with the
present age is that man's material
powers have increased faster than
his spiritual powers. Man today is
like an Overgrown boy, all bone and
sinew 2nd muscle and not enough
heart and train, v
"The gospel of Jesus Christ has
brought Christian man today to the
high position he occupies, it has
freed women and children and made
their lot in Christian countries in
comparably the best in the wod. It
is the one great power that cap
save the world in the unprecedented
turmoil of today," (

The Late'L. D. Harris Was
A Descendant of Cromwell
Served in Civil War and Was
One of the Early
Pioneers of This
City.
In the death of Lewis D. Harris,
who succumbed to a stroke of
apoplexy near Custer, S. D., recently
Omaha lost another of the oldest
residents, one who has been indenti
fied with . the social and business
life of this city for the past SO years.
Mr. Harris was not only an old
and honored resident of this city,
but he had the distinction of being
a direvt.descendant of Oliver Crom
well On his mother's side. His
mother,' Elizabeth Claypole, was a
descendant of Elizabeth, daughter of
Oliver Cromwell. Cromwell's daugh
ter married a Captain Claypoole and
the couple emigrated to this coun
try .i about 1634 arriving on the
same ship which brought Lord Bal
timore to America.
Civil War Veteran.
Mr. Harris answered his country's
call when the Civil war broke out.
He enlisted in Company K of the
Tenth New Jersey volunteers and
fougtt throughout the war except
for a few months which he spent
in a hospital stricken by typhoid
fever. Thus his .death also causes
another vacancy in the broken ranks
of the Grand Army of the Republic.
Shortly after the close of the war
he moved to Omaha and. engaged
in business. He was married in 1875
at the residence of Mr, and Mrs.
T-nuey, then situated at th,e corner
where the Municipal auditorium
now stands.
Mr. Harris gained entrance to
many of the best known organiza
tions in this city. He was a member
Cavalry Commandery No. 1, Knights'
Tempiar and a high degree Mason.
He remained in this city until the
Peace Conference Invisible
Which Many Apply But
(Universal StaffCorrespondent.)
Paris, I'eb. 16, An American sol
dier stopped me on the Rue Royale
this morning with a plea for direc
tion put in very bad French. When
I answered in English his face fell
apart actually broke into pieces, so
broad was the grin. -""""Say,
mister," he finally inquired
after we'd swapped talk for a min
ute or so, "where does a guy get a
ticket to this peace conference? I'm
going home next week and I'd like
to tell the folks back in Missoula I
had a look, sec, at the big guns
working on the league' of nations
business."
This doughboy Vas the most sur
prised and disappointed man in
Paris when I told him there was no
peace show under a tent and con
sequently no tickets ol tainable. But
the performance was going on just
the same, J assured him, and I, as
a correspondent, was aS badly off as
he. . I wanted a ticket and did not
know where to find one.
"But. say, don't all these kings
and ministers and things sit around
somewhere before a big table and
pass the peace pipe? You know
have the big talk while some keeper
of the king's buckhounds rushes the
can up the back stairs'"
' A Disappointed Doughboy.
The doughboy from Montana was
insistent in his curiosity. A puzzled
frown gathered between his heavy
eyebrows when I br-ke it to him
gently that as a spectacle this peace
show had nothing on the Cherry
Sisters, and that it was a plain case
of money-back-at-the-door for any
body who came to Paris expecting
no see something like the movies
would stage with the caption, "Mak
ing the World Over."
I had no original intentim of de
stroying that doughboy's pretty vis
ions of a peace table de luxe, with
starched gentlemen ' carrying rows
oL sparkling stars and medals on
tneir chests, sitting stiffly, about it,
while the photograper said, "Smile
a little, please." Nor do I desire to
cut holes in any mental canvas folks
back home may have painted for
themselves with the peace" confer
ence as a motif. v..
But the sober" truth is that the
peace conference, right now. at leas:,
Us more a state of mind than a state
of being; that its vast ramifications
have been and are now being worked
out in London, in Rome and Paris,
and that the tides that flow beneath
the surface carry for us observers
only little chips of circumstance to
point their direction.
Perhaps when the last delegate
from Japan or Bolivia or Liberia is
on the ground, there will be enough
of a peace conference to make a
group picture. But that will be some
tiitie in the quite distant future when
Mr. Lodge and his associates in
congress have thoroughly decided
that somebody has double-crossed
the senate because there was" no
ticker service from the conference
hall directly into the foreign rela
tions committee's room.
A Peace Confe'rence Picture.
Perhaps, if I tell you just how
much of the conference the average
American correspondent sees in a
Ltypical day here in Paris at this
time, you win gain a iair piciuic ui
what the whole tremendous event Is
like. Call this composite corres
pondent Van Bibber, after the late
Dick Davis's mythical newspaper
hero. ' 1
Van reads two or three French
papers with his coffee and rolls
served in bed, you know, for that f
the only way the French know of
serving breakfast; there's no other
place to eat it. From them he gleans
that the socialists are primed to
raise another big row in the Cham
ber because of the tardiness of the
government in ordering demobiliza
tion; that the condition of the peo
ples in the devastated districts of
France is going to be made the
subject of a debate in the same
chamber, and that Premier Cle
menceau lost ten more votes in the
vote taken the day before on this or
that subject. AH of this news of the
conference to -Van Bibber, because
upon Clemenceau's stand or fall as
head of the government depends mo
mentous issues of the league of na
tions, the freedom of the seaS and
maiy other points in the- program
of the American president.
From the papers the energetic
correspondent makes a note of the

It was said of Mr. Harris that he
bought a copy of the first issue of
The Omaha Bee from a newsboy.
After a shot illness followed by
a stroke of apoplexy, Mr. Harris
died at the age of 80.
He is survived by his wife who

quarters oi the Polish national com
mittee, at No 11 Avenue Kleber, and
try to interview the Polish patriot,
who has come to Paris to smooth
out the row between the two Polish
delegations here; also to get from
him the latest authentic news of the
progress of the bolshevists in their
march westward. The latter item is
news tremendous news for the con
ference. Greater news, in-fact, than
people in America have come to re
alize.' The Newsless Confab.
At 0:15 a. m. Van Bibbr joins
the other correspondents at 'the Ho
tel Crillon for the daily conference
with the American peace' commis
sioners a conference whereat Mr.
Lansing smiles and smiles, but drops
very little information. Remember,
too;- that whatever information the
commissioners give is in confidence
and only for the guidance of the
nwes writers; not for publication.
That is the hard and fast rule. .
After the conference there are the
whole four mysterious- floors of
the Hotel Crillon inviting explora
tion on the news hunt. For here, no
less than at alscore of places in Par
is, the machinery of the conference
is purring and humming. In room
No. 215, fWinstance, one finds Ed
ward M. Hurley, head of the United
States shipping board, who can tell
something of the co-operation of the
four great powers, America, Eng
land, France and Italy, in the gigan
tic shipping problem of moving
troops home and moving food from
America, Australia, and Canada, to
the starving millions in the war
swept districts. And down the hall a
way i Hoover's office.
When Hoover Gives Up;
But to pass those portals and to
glean from the newly appointed
chief of the supreme food council
anything but a curt "Nothing doing"
is in itself one day's complete
achievement. On very rare occa
sions the taciturn Mr. Hoover calls
the correspondents into session, and
when he does he gives something
that makes the cables sag with their
weight of big news.
In the Crillon, too, our friend
Van tracks to his lair Dr. S. E.
Mezes, formerly of the College of
the City of New York, but now fhe
economic expert adviser to the
American commission. He is a
kindly gentleman with thick glasses
and an 'academic beard, who gives
Van Bibber a thoroughly scholarly
outline of the relation between star
vation and bolshevjsm. That is
news of the conference, remember.
Then, if the president is intown,
" must see Maximilian Foster,
who acts as official herald of the
executive program and events at
the Murat Palace, which is called
the White House temporarily.
Foster says the president will re
ceive Clemenceau at S o'clock,
which means that from 5 o'clock
onward for an indefinite time Van
Bibben and his fellow correspond
ents must haunt the press room to
wait for Foster who comes when
he can.
Of course, there's the visit to the
Maison de la Presse to arrange for
the interview with the French min
ister of revictualing. The Maison de
la Presse is a government bureau
created to assist foreign correspond
ents .in establishing liaison to use
as apt military term with French
news centers. It works with kindly
efficiency.
Little People's Freedom Call.
If Van Bibber's day is not com
pletely filled he goes to one or more
of the various so-called headquarters
of the little peoples the Jugoslavs,

It is my firm belief that if & fellow starts with a good idea and keeps
everlastingly and honestly hammering awav at it for 40 years, he's gouig to get some
where with it. If he doesn't, there's something wrong with either the man or the idea.
It's been just about forty years hw since, I first started selling seeds. A small start to be sure,
just aft 8-year-rold. country boy, with a basket of homeKrowii garden seeds in home-made envelopes'
And the total sajes out of that first attempt only 50c. But I kept at it year after year, and out of
that modest start, has grown the biggest and best seed business in the west, with over a million
dollar yearly sales, half a dozen big buildings, and hundreds of acres ofeed gardens.
And all of it right here in

Omaha Lawyer Taken
With Smallpox While
at the Legislature
Tom Hollister, one of Omaha's
well kqown attorneys, had to go to
Lincoln , to be stricken with small
pox. At least, lie did not get it
while lie was. in Omaha.
He went to Lincoln a week ago,
to watch the legislative wheels go
round. His room was at the Lin
coln hotel. On Monday he com--plained
of feeling indisposed and
took to his room. Members of the
Omaha delegation called to commis
erate him. On Tuesday his Omaha
friends held a caucus and pronounc
ed the case influenza. An effort was
made to obtain some influenza rem
edy in Lincoln, but nolle was to be
found.
Mr. Hollister remained in his
room during the passing days and
friends continued to call on him.
bringing fruit and newspapers and
expressing their sympathy. On Fri
day a physicinan said lie had small
pox, and he was ordered placed un
der quarantine.
His friends who called and sat at
his bedside and even shook hands
with him arc in a state of watchful
waiting, wondering whether they
will break out. Nearly all of the'
Douglas county delegation were ex
posed, and so were also several
Omaha lawyers who were in Lincoln
during the week.

Had Tried for Fifteen Year,
to Find Right Medicine
Tanlac Restores Him.
"I wouldn't take ten thousand
dollars in cold cash, for the good
Tanlac has done me," said Richard
Wilson, one of the most prominent
men in Peoria. Mr. Wilson's home
is on Tripp Ave., Route No. 1.
"I have spent thousands of dol
lars in the last fifteen years trying
to get some relief from rheuma
tism," continued Mr. Wilson, "and
a few bottlesf Tanlac has done
me more good than everything else
I have tried put together. I will
not attempt to tell you how I suf
fered during those fifteen years,
for you would simply have to pro
through a Heige of suffering from
rheumatism as I did before you
could understand it. I have often
heard people say, when speaking of
what they had undergone, that they
'almost suffered death,' and that
comes nearer expressing my miser
ies than anything I could think cf
saying. I had rheumatism worse in
my legs than anywhere else, and it
affected my leaders and muscles
in my legs so much that there were
times when I could, hardly walk at
all. I have always led a very active
life, and the condition I was in was
very discouraging and depressing to
me. I was willing to spend every
dollar I had to get relief, for my
health was worth more to me than
all my money.
"A friend of mine came to see
me one day and said he had jusr,
started taking Tanlac and that it
was doing him lots of good, and ad
vised me to give it a trial. - As I
said a few minutes ago, I was will
ing and ready to try anything that
might bring me relief, so I bought
some Tanlac and began taking it
right away. Well, sir, it is simply
marvelous the way that rheumatism
began, to ease up in a short while
after I began taking Tanlac. The
muscles and leaders of my legs be
gan to limbe.r up, and I could just
feel my strength coming back, not
only in my legs but my whole body,
and the more Tanlac I took the
stronger I got. I was actually suy
prised at the way Tanlac was help
ing me, and I just kept on takir
it until , now I am entirely frea
from those- terrible pains and it
seems that my rheumatism has dis
appeared altogether. I can walk
as well now as I ever did in my
life, and teel better and stronger
in every-way than I ever thought
I would feel again. I want to pass
the good word along to others who
suffer as I did, and tell them that
Tanlac will help them as it did me."
