8 THE OMAHA DAILY BE DAY, DECEMBER 2 IN THE BETHLEHEM MANGER Ohristendom Again Gathers Around the Lowly Oradle of the Ohrist-Ohild, CHRISTMAS SUNDAY IN OMAHA CHURCHES Beautifal Decorations, Elaborate Masical Bervices and the Homage of Joyful Hearts Characterizo the Observance of the Festival of the Natlvity. Quite all the churches in Omaha had a Christmas color yesterday, and in many of them the decorations in honor of the festival of the nativity were elaborate and beautiful Special musical services were general, the anthems and carols were so full of joy and so full of heart that one might almost imagine that he was listening to the chorus of angels whose celestial symphony caught the ears and thrilled the souls of the shep herds on the hills of Judea on the first Christ- mas morning. The sermons preached not Jesus dead, but Jesus born. The shadow of the cross wi not seen, but Christendom with one a rd Joined the cavalcade of the wise men and went to look into the manger cradle at Beth Iehem. At the Kountze Memorial Lutheran church Rev. A. J. Turkle spoke in part as follows: The divine birth in Bethlehem will never cease to be a subject of wonder and joy to mankind. It is more worthy to be commem- orated by song and sacred festivity than the greatest victory ever achieved in war, or the grandest triumph ever recorded in the history of nations. The blaze of light that shcne ’round the shepherds of the Judeen hillsides shall brighten with the ages of the future, until it shines In all the dark places of the world. The spirit of Christmas will spread until it encompasscs the whole earth. It is the best and brightest of the year. No other day comes to us laden with a lesson so well worth learning. No other shines with a hope 8o uplifting. No other means as much that makes life worth living. No other imparts such a dignity to buman destiny, In this age of ours, when on all sides there is haste to get riches, haste to get honor, haste to elevate gelf, it Is of infinite value that a day should be set apart and halled as the crown of the year, whose central teaching Is that giving 1s more blessed than getting. The wheels of business and human activity move to the ery, “‘Look out for number one.” But on Christmas day the golden rule asserts it and amid its' many cheery vol undertone uttering the celestia that loses his life shall find it. ¢ That there is a tendency to secularize Christmas in the mode of its observance, is no doubt plain to all. On the other hand, there is cause no less evident for rejoicing in the fact that, as a Christian festival, a home day and a church day, the birthday of our blessed Lord is widely observed. It is true, too, that the very secularizing ten- dencics have had the effect of bringing more and more Into prominence the proper cele- bration of this day of days. And there is no reason to believe that the reiigious fervor will ever be eliminated from this sacred festival. More churches than ever before commemorate the sacred cvent, There was a time when austere and bigoted puritans get their faces sternly against Christmas. But these prejudices have been gradually overcome, and the festival year by year is more generally celebrated in churches of all denominations. Christmas sermons are heard in Congregational pulpits; Christmas carols are sung in Methodist’ churches; Christmas services are followed In Pr byterlan Sunday schools and the day is not far distant, we apprehend, in which wor- shiping Christendom will observe Christmas With special and appropriate services. Certalnly no other is so worthy of this world-wide homage. The good and great have lived in every gencration.. But He who was born at Bethlehem s the noblest fruit of the great tree of humanity. Man- kind has produced many men distingulshed in various departments of activity or knowl- edge, who have been of great benefit to their fellows in a thousand ways and direc- tlons; but there has been none among them whom we salute with the name of Christ, and adore as our Savior. Every other hero s something in him that curtails our re- rd and in a manner diminishes our re- spect. Sin, sclfishness or ambition prevent even the noblest of men from becoming perfect heroes and helpers of their fellows. There has been but One who has been able to stand before his enemies, and In the face of history, challenge the world with the words: “Who is it that convinceth me of sin?’ Modern research has examined the most minute details of His life and deeds and words, and before its keen bar He can still stand and repeat His challenge. Even the all-seeing eve of God detects na flaw or spot In Him, but solemnly declares that With Him the Father is well pleased. There- fore, He s the One through whom alone mankind can attain its highest ideal, that of being pleasing in the sight of God. He does not b:long to any single people, but to all mankind. While He was born a Jew, yet we never think of him as such. We do not think of him as a Scotchman or German or American or as of any particular nationality, Americans make Washington their hero; France, Napoleon; England, Well- ington; but no nation can make Clrist its hero to the exclusion of the rest. He be- longs to humanity. He is the Savior of all men, ““Unto you" means cach one who appropriates these blessed words to himself. “To you” a Savior Is born this day. You, who are In poor and humble circumstances, You, who have trials and temptations; you, who are in the shackles of sin; you, who labor and are heavy laden, to all ‘come the tidings of great joy. Although the One born in Bethlehem has come for the whole world, although His work includes heaven and earth, yet He has a heart for the Innermost longings of our souls; for each indlyidual He Is a Savior, When Christ was born on that first Christmas morning He began to live a real human life. It was God manifest in the flesh, “God sent His only begotten Son into the world.”” But it was not the divine mas- querading in sham humanity; He was not making believe to live the life of a man. It was a real incarnation. He did mot come to earth each day and bring His lunch and g0 back at night. - True, there s # deep mystery clustering around the incarnation. ~ Bul there s mystery about the color of a rose. Light fills ‘space. It wraps systems and constellations in splendor. It is a luminous ocean in which worlds safl, And yet light comes Into a little room in your house and searches out a tiny flower, which could not by searching find the light, and makes it more beautiful than anything man ever made. The mystery in one case Is as great as in the other. When you tell me how the light which palpitates from the sun paints the color of that single rose, I will tell you how God, who is every- where, comes into one man and so truly lives in him that it {s right to say that when we see him we see God. With all its mys- tery the incarnation is a blessed gift. What is it that makes the Lord Jesus dear to us today? What is it that makes us never tired of hearing that old story of walling shepherds, and kneeling wise men, of the rough manger? It is that very perfect merging of his lot in ours. What is it that in spite of all the changes that have passed in buman lot, sl bids hope look to Him and faith cling to Him as firmly in these days of ours as when He mingled among men? What Is it? Surely not his wonder working power, that could calm a storm or wake the dead; but rather that He is very man, bone of our bone, flesh of our flesh; that on Him the same storms (hat vex us perpetually beat; the triuls and burdens un- der which we groan were horne by Him; temptation and sorrow He knew, and can sympathize with us and help us ln every time of need. Dear to us are His miracles but dearer still is His cradle, for it teaches us (he blessed lesson that human life, thougis *I begin Jn 4 manger and end ou a cross, is ull &f dod; that uot in escaplug from our Jot, but in trustfully accepting it, lies our safety and in the end our glory. It teaches us that the humblest birth may lead out into the noblest life. It gives encouragement to all that have been poorly started. I know it is hard to maks the Christmas message @ realily 0 each soul. Burdens, cares and anxlety parch the dew of our Jouth, Suffering and sorrow break the elas- and | | with ticity of our spirit and makes Chri fulness a very far-off thing. What can w do then? When Christmas comes and calls us, and the world*has been filling our souls with its glitter and glamour, or with fts bile and bitterness, let us come Into the closest communlon with the dear Lord Jesus, and He will renew our faith and love. Into the chill season of winter was Christ born. And into the chill of despair does the hope- ful and helpful Christ come, By a strangely beautiful Providence, Christmas comes in midwinter, when nature is in her winding sheet. Christ is for people who are facing a storm, who are having a hard time of it. People with frosted hopes, and blasted as- pirations, and benumbed faith. That winter should be illuminated by the Christmas holi- day 18 a fact full of suggestions. We need a Christ that can sympathize with and com- fort the broken-hearted; that can bring light to the days that are clouded with sickness; that can bring warmth to the days that are chilling with disappointment; that can shine in with hope and beauty on the s ‘e overcast with bereavement and somber open graves. We have not a spring time Christ nor a summer Christ, nor n autumn Christ, but a winter Christ. Bear in mind when a dark moment comes to Treasure the thought when hard place, Cherish the precious truth gainst the day of greatest need What we need in the world today is the Christ spirit, A spirit of self-sacrificing love. He never thought of self. Hence all kinds of selfishness was impossible. Today the story of the sorrows and sufferings the working women is terrible, of women are living today with staring them in the face, and the ternative before them, starve or casy for those who have enough “‘Such things need not be,” but and they are stern realities, Dut spirit of Christ pervades all men it no longer possible to say: “There never so much idle money, never so much food un- used, and never so many starving people in the land.” All the world like Jesus! Bach man going about doing good; no men living double lives; no women by their selfishness and pride driving to wickedness those whom they ought to help; no harsh judgm no one to fawn and smile and secret ab; no unkind words; no scandal mongers; no bu bodies; no crushing monopolies; none growing rich by pauperizing their brethren; all bearing each other's burdens, helping each other in their knes: doing unto others as they would be don by, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of their faith and trusting Him in every experience. Tho response to all this will be perhaps “A beautiful dream!" Tt is not a dream, It Is the prophecy of Christmas. This, and more, must be, when all men have accepted their Savier born, and are one with Jesus Christ, as He is one with God. Where God is, darkness flees away. Let us by renouncing self and allowing His glory to shine into our hearts, make our own and the lives of others brighter, purer and happier and the Christmas joy saturate all humanity.

Yesterday morning at St. John's Eplscopal church Charles H. Young and Cornelius §. Abbott were ordained priests of the Episcopal church, and Rev. Edward Murphy, formerly a Roman Catholic priest, was admitted as a priest of the Episcopal faith by agreeing to conform with the doctrines, discipline and worship of the church. Rev. Paul Mathews delivered the sermon. Bishop Worthington, assisted by Canon Doherty, conducted the ordination services, after the sermon had been deliv:red. Mr. Matthews preached from the text: “We Have These Treasures in Earthen Vessels.” The priests, on entering into their work, were likened to the waterpots of stone as they are made the vessels by which the peo- ple receive the divine blessings of God. The water which they first bore was weak, but when they had reached the end of their work it would be turned into the wine of bl:ssing. ““We are earthen vessels, sons of Adam. This lite is full of weakness, sorrow and hu- millation, and although we are but clay, God is our potter, and under His hand and ey: our lives are fashioned as vessels for the master’s use and fit to be borne to the gov- ernors of the feast.” e ———— Oregon Kidney Tea cures ail kidney trou- bles, Trial size, 25 cents.” All druggists, MAX MEY ordination R & BRO, CO, Wholesale Jewelers, 11th and Farnam Sts.

The tallest of the two held a revolver in McCune and demanded that he throw up his hands. McCune refused to comply with the re- quest, when the smaller highwayman drew a sharp razor and gashed McCune from the eye to the tip of his jaw bone, laying the flesh open to the bone, McCune sank to the pavement and the thugs disappeared. When discovered McCune was taken to tha ty hospital. His wound is a serious one, and will mark his face for life.

My work Is more especially in connection With the support of the rescue homes. It is for this branch of the Salvation army work that I am collecting funds, and as far as practicable the funds that I am fortunate enough to collect are expended in the state In which they are contributed. We are en- deavoring to establish rescue homes in all the larger cities of the country, We al- ready have two in New York City, one In | Boston and one in Cleveland, We have none | turther west nd, but are about to establish on ago, We hope next to have one at ouis, and will follow with one at Om and then one in S Crancisco. We find it difficult to secure the funds necessary to establish these rescue missions. After they are once established we make them self-supporting. The one great difficulty is in securing the lease on the buildings. People claim that the rescue home deteriorates the value of the properly In its immediate neighborhood, and for this reason we are compelled to lease buildings for but a single year at a time. “Our work rescue homes is in- tensely practi ke the vagrant out of the streets provide him first with clean clothing and then keep him clean. We next see that he is fed. Our experience has taught us that salvation cannot compete with hunger. After the man is clothed and fed we give him employment, and then we offer him salvation.

We are anxious to establish a home for these girls at some point farther west than Cleveland.
