THE OMAHA DAILY BEF: MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1804. flERO OF THE PROTESTANTS Birthday of Gustavus A lolphus Religiously | Oelebrated by the Lutherans, SERVICES AT KOUNTZE MEMORIAL CHURCH Rev. A. J. Turkle Describen What Modern Civilization Owes to the Great Swedish Chleftaln—Sermons in Other Local Pulpits Yesterday, The Lutheran churches of this city, and indeed all over the world, celebrated the 300th anniversary of the birth of Gustavus Adolphus 11, the great defender of Protes- tanism, yesterday. At Kountze Memorial Lutheran church Pas- tor Rev. A. J. Turkle preached a sermon especially prepared for the occasion. He sald in part The ages have left us no richer heritag: than came in our possession at the time of | the German reformation. The human mind | was emancipated from ecclesiastical sl Ty The rubbish of centuries’ accumulation w cleared away, and freedom of c speech and action was promulgated. A pric less jewel came into man's possssion. With- out the reformation the spirit of the “dark ages” must have been indefinitely prolonged and the course of modern civilization must have been essentially different. But before these blessings had been en- joyed a century all the arts of cruelty were brought to bear by the Roman hierarchy to wrest them away from the individual for-| ever. One by one the liberties of Protestants | were encroached upon and diminished. In | this extremity several of the Protestant princes and free cities formed for defense into what was called the Protestant union, and in 1618 the flames burst forth and_the fire soon spread all over Germany. his wicked attempt to crush out Protestanism by material and brute force led to what is known in history as the “Thirty Years’ War, the longest, the most terrible’ which modern Europe has scen, in which Germany was tortured and torn to pieces, and from which she was generations in recovering. For twelve long yi the contest been waged and the Catholic league master of the field. It seemed as if Protestantism would be crushed under its oppression. But in that dark hour of calamity and fears God raised up a noble protector and Mtrepid general, Gustavus Adolphus, king of Sweden. He wel- comed as a deliverer on the part of the Gernlan Protestants, who realized that their very existence was at stake. He accepted the commandership of the vanquished. He revived the beaten army and awakened interest in the Protestant cause and in two years defeated the enemies of civil and religious freedom INFLUENCE OF SCANDINAVIA. 1 am afraid we have never realized, at least have not understood, how much the weifare of mankind depends upon those extreme _ morthern kingdoms of Europe Those people who dwell in the “land of the midnight €un” have been important agents in our modern Christian civilization. They sent to the realm of song a Jenny Lind and Christine Nilsson, to the throne of the violin an Ole Bull, to the realm of artists a Thorwaldsen, and to the sphere of invention a John Eri son. It was from Sweden that the first settlers of Pennsyivania came and dwelt along the Delaware and taught the Indians the religion of the cross, and prepared the way for the humane treaty of William Penn. Our west and northwest owes much of its development to these frugal, industrious, God-fearing people, who have broken up the virgin soil and contributed much to our pro- gressiveness, The ideal king of these earnest people was_Gustavus Adolphus. He was born in Stockholm, December 9, 1594. Many of the royalty of Europe and four of the Buropean capitals are resounding today with panegyrics of the dead hero. He was the grandson of Gustavus Vasa and the son of Charles IX, and in his short reign freed his kingdom from Danish, Russian and Polish enemies and brought peace and prosperity to his sub- jects. Before he was 35 years of age, and he only lived to be 38, he had developed his country industrially, educationally and re- ligiously. “He was great as a military genius, but greater still as a benefactor of oppressed peoples.” He did not leave his home with the wish or purpose to extend his territory. He was not moved by the spirit of Alexander before him and Napoleon after him, the spirit of conquest, and while all human motives are mixed, yet all selfishncss seems to have been excluded from Gustavus enter- ing upon his war in Germany. It seems to have been his only purpose to rescue his brothers of the same faith. Ho could have remained at home and en- Joyed the country he had freed and developed. But with all the privileges of luxury and ease he chose rather to endure all sorts ot perils and Yatigues, even to offer up his life in battle in order to emancipate suffering humanity. Our deepest reverence and ho age are due to Gustavus for giving himself so0 unreservedly to the preservation of those liberties dearer to good men than life Itself. #“PRAYED AND FOUGHT. Thg#first thing Gustavus did when he lapafd at the mouth of the Oder on the little island of Usedom was to fall upon his knees and pour out his soul in earnest prayer to God, and from then until his death, two years later, the fighting and praying went ever hand in hand with him. During the two years of his campaign he showed the greafest military skill and he never desisted from his marchings, sieges, battles and victories until the power of the league was humbled and Protestantism was de- livered. On the 6th of November, 1632, on the fleld of Lutzen, the defenders and foes of civil and religious liberty were struggling for supremacy. The Protestants gained the day, but Gustavus fell. The determination of Catholicism to make a grand effort to re- fetter a half-liberated Protestantism was thwarted. But the victory seemed too dearly purchased. The greatest protector which Protestantism ever knew had perished. A heart-rending cry, not of despair, for they wero victorious, but of anguish, went up from the Protestants on the continent and in England. He was simple, brave, devout. With the highest sense of his kingly dignity and yet higher sense of his great mission on earth, he had a single eye to the work God had given him to do. More cannot be suld of any man, We are the happy Inheritors of the great | blessings for which Gustavus fought, the | principles which form an essential part of our government. If the hierarchy had been victorious on the field of Lutzen our eiviliza- tion might have been different. Civil and religlous freedom is the foundation stone of our free institutions. These require the most careful attention and guarding. While we have Mad centuries of Protestant growth, yet they have been centuries of constant struggle to maintain our priceless privileges. We of this generation must have the same spirit as our fathers of old. We should pray God that liberty may be maintained without war and shedding of blood. But we must have the same unselfish, loyal, devoted | spirit. We must have greater heroism, en- thusiasm and devotion to Christ. nsclenc had was all or NATURAL LAW SPIRITUAL LAW, Sermon of Dr. Kane at First Presbyterian Yosterday Morning. The services at the First Pre church yesterday were conducted by Rev. Dr. William P, Kane of Bloomington, Ill. who is the pastor of the church of which Vice President Stevenson is a member. Dr. Kane 1s & speaker In the practical order, who seems | to endeavor to impress his hearers by the | plain_application of the truths which he preuches rather than by any rhetorical en- thusiasm. At the morning service he spoke on the topic, ““The Survival of the Fittest id took for his text the famillar admonition “Unto him that hath shall be given, and from him that hath not shall be taken away eysn that which he path" S SR Y eaker saia that it wa & fundamental law of nature that in order to keep what we h we must use It. There was no promise for the idler. All things were developed and enriched by use and that which was not used was entirely Jost. What was true in the material world was not less the law of spiritusl things. It would only require a casual observation of byterian | ana | natural law might | to the occurrences of the world about us to see that riches, power and possessions seemed to accumulate in some hands and to disappear from others. Nothing succeeded like success and there was nothing so fatal as failure. When a man had acquired the of being a wit every one was ready to laugh at his most stupid remarks, while the most sparkling witticisms of another would be re- ceived with funereal solemnity. Every one to be a friend to those who had already a multitude of friends, but they turned the cold shoulder to the despised and the forsaken. The same principle held good in matters of beneyolence. People who had gifts to bestow hastened to give them to the institu- tions that were already rich and celebrated, while they overlooked entirely the poor and struggling cause. Those who had the most need of assistance were most invariably the ones from whom it was longest withieid The speaker held as a genszal proposition that whatever was a law of nature was also a law of God. While It seemed right that the strong and promising plant should crowd out the weakling, when the same principle was applied to humanity it seemed harsh unjust, There was no corrective or remedial power in natural law. It moved in a sure and certain course, and If a man violated it his misstep was not corrected, but he was punished for it. The unive was created to correspond with what men should be, and the only reason why the work a hardship was be- cause man was out of his right relation with it. The same civil law which insured pro. tection to the man who respected and obeyed it brought blight and suffering to the tr: gressor. In proceeding to draw the distinction be- tween the natural law as applied to nature and that which governed humanity Dr. Kane referred to the scriptural statement that “The Son of Man Is come to seek and to save that which is lost.” What the law was powerless to do God had done by sending His son Into the worid. It was for the d liverance of those who were being borne downward by the retributive forces of the natural law that Christ had been crucified. This was becanse man was not intended to be a creaiure of dust, but the child of the Creator, At the evening service Dr. Kane spoke on “‘Only Sheep and Goats.” MORE LF-CONSECRATION. Bishop Newman Tells What 1s Needed for Advancement of Christ's Kingdom., Bishop Newman preached to a large con- gregation yesterday morning at Park Methodist Episcopal church text, “The Master is come and thee.” This was the bishop's ance In the pulpit since his return home and the congregation th embled to greet him proved to him, if he has not already had evidence enough, that he maintains the high esteem o often testified before by the church- going people of Omaha. His general theme was the conversion of the world and the importance of the consecration of the in- dividual In bringing about that result. The conversion of the world, he said, was one of the noblest designs ever conceived by God. The purpose of God to bring the entire world to his feet in adoration, in faith and obedience, stands forth sublime in its isolation to challenge the faith, inspire the soul and inflame the zeal of every Chris tian man or woman. “You may well say that the design s a stupendous one. It Is a stupendous one to me. It Is the only thing that challenges my faith. I can look at the mysterles of Providence and not stand ap- palled, because I know that Providence has the power to accomplish all the mysterious and wonderful works of the universe, I can look at the infinite mysteries of religion and not stand appalled, for what I cannot comprehend I can believe through faith, But when Jesus Christ stands at the bank of the river Jordan, a savior without a single disciple, a leader without a single follower, a general without a single soldier, and announces the coming of the time when His kingdom shall be universal, I stand ap- palled, when today, after the lapse of cen- turies, I see the condition of the heathen world. ‘What is the cause in the delay of an- ticipation of Christ? Is there no balm in Gilead? ds the bible a book pf romance? Is Christ a mere philosopher? If we wish to understand the cause of the delay we are to go into the depths of Christ’s philosophy. The very substance of His philosophy centers around the consecration of the individual. God never contemplates humanity as a mass. He always segregates the mass into indi- viduals and asks for the incarnation of Him- self in each heart. The upward and onward moves of civilization have always been brought about by the efforts of single indi- viduals. Men may be divided into two gen- eral classes, the malevolent and the benevo- lent. All great and upward. movements of soclety, elther benevolent or malevolent may be traced to individual men or women belon ing to either of these classes. Thus, Caphias had more to do with the crucifixion of Christ than any other man or men. Voltaire, more than any man who ever lived, did more to bring on the terrible French revolution. John C. Calboun was, more than any other man, responsible for the civil war. On the other hand, the great beneficent events in the world's history have been the result of the efforts of great individuals. The German ref- ormation was the work of a solitary monk. In the history of our own American colonies it was Patrick Henry who was responsible for the American revolution, for it was his inspired eloquence that kindled the fires of patriotism in the breasts of the colonists. Rising above all of these, it was Jesus Christ alone who conceived the great design of ac complishing the redemption of the whole world. “When God plans some great work he al- ways selects some man or some woman as His leader. In the dark days of Christianity, when the popes were infidels and the priests lecherous, Martin Luther was ecalled and through him God accomplished the great revo- lution. In every great crisis in history God ralses the individual to meet the emergency. In our own nation, when men turned to each other and asked from whence was to come the leader who would lift the nation above the forces at work for its disintegration, God lifted the veil of obscurity and there, un- known to men, stood the immortal Abraham Lincoln, who will live forever in the mem- ory of God and in the hearts of men. God does not raise up prodigies. He gives to the world a Francis Bacon or the Apostle Paul, but he gives but one Bacon and one Paul. The time may come in God's providence that He finds it necessary to unite the power of a dozen minds. He does not call twelve men to His ald, but he gathers the intellect of twelve men into the mind of one man and that one man accomplishes the divine pur- pose. And now, to the final point, the consecra- tion of the individual. The man or woman who will consecrate himself or herself to the work of God must avoild the two extremes of overestimation and undervaluation. You can consecrate your one talent to God, but what is needed is the multip'icity of the one talent. You may not be the mighty flood refreshing the earth with the copious showers that bring blessings to mankind, but you may be the dewdrop that, kissed by the rosy lips of Aurora, nestles In the heart of the violet. You may not b2 the mighty wind that sweeps everything before it, but you may be the gentle zephyr, bringing peace to the hearts of men. » 5 “ROCK ISLAND" EXUURSION Through Tourlst Sleeping Car to San Fran- cisco and Los Angetes.

Inattention on the part of some members and disinterested- ness of others brought about this lax condi- tion. Now, however, the club promises to bestir itself once more into activity and to | get a firmer basis. At the meeting several resolutions were adopted. One of these was to the effect that members in arrears with dues who should make full payment of them before January next should be released from | further payments for the succeeding eight months, It was also agreed to order the different club medals, which were destroyed at the Ruser's park fire, replaced at once. Arrangements for the 1895 shoot are to be made at the January meeting. Charles Metz, Henry Seldler and Claus Paul, who were among the originators of the society, but who recently resigned their memberships, were formally readmitted and declared original members. A number of the shooters evince great interest in the projected plans for a_new and to be well arranged building at Schuetzen park—Ruser’'s. Architect Voss is now pre- preparing them. The outlines of the struc- ture, ‘which s to be of brick, indicate a building of large proportions and an ideal one for a popular summer resort. Henry Ruser says that preparations for erection will be made as soon as the companies pay over the amounts in which the burned build- ings were insured. A number of rifles, some quite_costly and belonging to members of the Schuetzenverein, were consumed in the fire, besides medals and other personal prop- erty. Losses were sustained by Charles Krug, Herman Busch and others “Wen auen Welnen," The audience which gathered a week ago yesterday at the Turn hall exceeded in numuers any heretofore assembled to witness amateur theatrical productions at this place. That the participants also enjoyed the high favor of the assemblage was amply testified by the frequent applause which they re- ceived. The house_ was packed, and it re- sembled more the auditorium of some popular theater than the hall of a single German soclety, to such an extent had friends and members made their appearance. Messrs. Herbertz and Stoecker participated in different roles in the one-act comedy, “Wenn Frauen Weinen,” and both executed their parts to the satisfaction of the audience. Mesdames Lindeman and Merges, the former of whom is well know to the German theater-going public, attracted special notice. William Altstadt, who is no novice in performances of this sort, acted his part of waiter in a manner which left no doubt of his ability as a comedian, though not a professional. The entire play was well arranged. The succeeding Dude march by ten young turner ladies, as arranged and originating with gr. Altstadt, furnished an occasion for seved.| encores. The stage entertainment closed with a burlesque, entitled “‘Recruiting of Soldiers.” Messrs. Julius Schuett, Delterbeck, Unger and Altstadt appeared in this as unwilling subjects to serve his majesty in uniform. Assisted by Miss Burniz all the participants acquitted themselves well, Interest in shooting matters, been on the wane for some time, | revived at the first Ladies Taking to Bowling. Bowling has to some extent become in'fec- tious even with the young ladies, who con- sider it quite the proper fad to send a twister to clear the boards. Tame diversions seem to have lost their charms in some circles and are giving way to the more forcible recreation of bowling. Not infrequently such parties are organized to play at Oscar Man- ger's. There a miss entertains her friends to combat on the alley to their best amusement. Last Wednesday evening Miss Krug gave such a party there to her friends to the num- per of fifteen. A luncheon was served at the proper hour, and perfect enjoyment declared by the participants. Every Monday evening the alley Is also the scene of private clubs for recreative exer- cise. Messrs, Hitchcock, Garneau, Morrison and Ford are almost regular visitors, Boysen's Birthday Party. P. J. Boysen, local manager for Lemp's Brewing company, invited many of his friends to his home on Seward and Twenty-sixth streets last Friday night on the occasion of tho thirty-fifth anniversary of his birth. It was a pleasant party which gathered and congratulated Mr. Boysen. With the well wishes, toasts and serenades the members id ample justice to what was set before them by the genial recipient of these honors. The Saengerbund was represented by Messrs. P. Kaiser, Henry Kalser, Jullus Kaufman, Ferd- inand Lehman, Richard Engelman, Anton En- gelman, Louis Meier, Fritz Dilly, Robert Gierscht, H. Koseman and Peter Laux. On behalf of the soclety, President Kaiser con- gratulated Mr. Boysen, who responded with thanks. The affair was well enjoyed by all. Locnl German Gossip.

The World's Fair orchestra gave a pleasant musicale last Sunday at Saengerbund hall, where a number of music loving Germans had assembled to listen to the concert and vocal selections from the Liederkranz and Saenger- bund. At the home of Henry Kaiser, Twenty-third and Nicholas streets, the birthday celebrations of Matthias Kaiser and the former took place last Thursday evening. Members of the Saengerbund and a zither club furnished music. The second anniversary of the Saengerbund will be appropriatively celebrated by that soclely mext Sunday evening at its hall. The usual entertainment program has re celved additions untll the affair promises to be quite an elaborate one. In accordance with long established cus- tom, the members of the senior class of the Turnverein, accompanied by thelr entire families, will properly celebrate Christmas at the hall and around the Christmas tree on December 26. The occasion Is always one of unusual mirth and an event long looked forward to by all the participants.

Dr. of the Investigation Made by De Voe- Omaha Dog Chewed Up In Sixteen Minutes by a Magie City Professional, Six of the government taggers have re- celved notice that their services are no longer needed in this city. This is the first result of Dr. DeVoe's searching Investigation of the workings of meat inspection in the, Magic City. Dr. DeVoe is special agent for J. Ster- ling Morton, and has put in considerable time here. He has made several visits, The last time he remained about ten days. The tag- gers who were let out are Joe Butler, T. Leddy and T. C. Casey, from the Cudahy plant; W. W. McCoombs and A. Jacobson from Swift's, and Mr. Reeves from Ham- mond’s. The men received tho Sat urday night. None of the inspectors have yet been fired but It 4s presumed that if Mr. Morton going to reduce the tagging force he will also let out some o/ the inspectors, There has been no marked decrease in the work to be done by lnspectors, so it is argued that a great many men have been drawing pay for doing nothing, or that the tagging in the future will have to be neglected to'a degree. Mr. Morton has in ments repeatedly given it out as his opinion that the meat inspection business is a very large farce. He first let out fifty or sixty women in the microscopical department. Later on he reorganized the heads of the inspection department and now he has com- menced on the taggers. The cost of meat in- spection in this country has been fully great as the money received for exported product. Only a few months ago all the pork handled by the packers had to undergo microscopical inspection whether it was to be experted or sold here. Now nothing is turned over for microscop'cal inspction ex- cept for the export trade. South Omaha business men are very much dQispleased with Mr. Morton's course. It takes a good many dollars away from them, as it throws many South Omaha citizens out of employment, The packers have very little to say about the meat inspection business. They claim that there are some things connected with honest inspection that assist them and that other things do them injury. The language of one of the packers is: “Incompetent inspec- tion is worse than none at all. Whipped the Omaha Dog. About 100 South Omaha sports accom- panied Denny Murphy and his dog “Pilot" to a secluded spot yesterday afternoon, where they witnessed a fight that was a corker, while it lasted. The other dog is owned by an Omaha man, and while he is a clever fighter and has a good record he was not in it at any stage of the flght with “Pilot.” It took the South Omaha dog just sixteen minutes to make the Omaha man's canine throw up his tail. It but fair to state, however, that the Omaha dog was not in good fighting trim, but if it had been it would have been_ whipped just the same. The match was for a purse of $100 and the door receipts, which amounted to about $75 more. The only beting done was on Saturday before men knew that the Omaha dog was not in good shape.
