In addition to the congregatton of the church in which | the services were held the congregations of the St. Mary's Avenue Congregational, the First Presbyterian and the Westminster Presbyterian churches were present, the pas tors of these churches, Revs. Butler, Mc Cormick and Gordon, being on the rostrum with Rev. Frank Crane and Prof. Hamill Prof. Hamill spoke on the “Sunday School Idea,” and in his address outlined the progress of Sunday schools, their advan tages and the forces that were necessary to strengthen them in the future. In the course of his address he told many anec dotes which he had gathered In the many years he has devoted to his work to filus- trate the propositions he laid down. Prof. Hamill said that the Sunday school idea was one of the greatest religious ideas and was the one which dominated in the church. It runs down through the history of the church with the same importance a tached to it, for God always looks out for the young. BEGAN IN It first existed in not properly belong there, although it often furnishes more of the homelike than the home fteelf. Then came the teaching priests who went out into the land and were lowed by the Levites, whose duty it was to instruct. This early germ of the Sunday gchool can account for the fact that the Jews still instill more instruction into the mind and soul of their children than any other religious sect. Later the old testament makes mention of the synagogues which were found on every hillside and in every valley. These syna- gogues furnished lyceums, or debating so- cieties, for the young, and were also the centers of the soclal life of the people. Their doors were always open to the chil- dren and youth, and there they received their instruction. The new testament rounded out the idea in saying that the duty and the holiest office of the church next tc preaching from the desk, was the care and instruction of the children. This idea was grasped by the great reformers, Luther Knox and Wesley, who were careful to in gtill_their new and advanced ideas into the heads of the youth. Within the last two or three decades the idea has been tak into larger bounds, until now the Sunday school has become the dominant interest of the pastor and the congregation of a church. From it has sprung all the young people’s socleties and Christian associations but while these have come into the church the Sunday school still remains above them all. THE HOM the home, but it does WHY IT IS POPULAR. Prof. Hamill then went on to explain the popularity of the Sunday school. In the first place, he said, that it furnished a door open to ail. To those of Il repute, to the evil, as well as the good, its doors are open. Thus the Sunday school has become dearer to the hearts of the people than anything else. The speaker stated that wherever he has ever gone as the representative of the Sunday school idea, even among the low, he has always found a welcome, It brings a touch of refinement nto all homes. The child discovers this and takes faster steps to the Sunday school than to the public gchool, because he is going where he will receive a tenderness and love and kindliness which he sometimes does not find at home. As a second reason of its popularity the speaker sald that it appealed to the open heart of the child, it put impressions upon the mind and the conscience of the child which would never be erased. Consequently he was in favor of sending a child to the Sun- day school when It was 5 vears of age or even younger. In the fact that the Catholic church took such care of the little: children he found a reason for the popularity of that dnurch and remarked that if the Protestant church of the world would follow its exam- ple it would have the best weapon for break- ing the Catholic power. In view of this the speaker said that he would rather devote his life to the teaching of youth than to fill any other position in life. The third and final reason which Prof. Hamlll assigned for the popularity of the idea was the fact that in the Sunday school a place was found for every one and every one was put in his proper place. There was no one so low that the Sunday school coull utilize him. In the 250,000 Sunday schools in the country there were about 10,000,000 puplls. There was noed, however, that the brainy business men be called in more than they were, although it was by no means nec essary to be brilliant to aid in the work The teachers in this vast and important work took time from their business to study pa- tiently. They received no reward here below except that of a clear consclence, SHOULD HOLD HIGHER PLACE. To give greater dignity to the work, how- ever, the speaker sald that it was necessary to place It more In the hearts of the people. The Sunday school should not be called the nursery: of the church. Prof. Hamill defined the modern Sunday school as the church of Jesus Christ, either for studying or teaching the Holy Scriptures. If one could not teach he should attend for instruction. The con- stant tendency of the men of business to de- vote their entire time to their pursuits has wholly led them away from the devout study of the bible which. prevailed in the early days of the country. This tendency could ly be suppressed by getting back into the old channel and this could only be accom- plished by attending Sunday school either for study or teaching. Men could not be brought into close enough contact with the bible by listening to sermons. Consequently the speaker urged all, whether young or pot to attend, particularly the leaders in soclet or politics or commercial life. If they did not feet the need of it, they should neverthe- less attended for the sake of furnishing an ex- ample to the young men. The most vexa- tious problem to be solved was how to get the young men to become members. Young men were inclined to gravitate into the steps of thelr employers or seniors and to copy thelr virtues or vices, Therefore, if the senfors attended Sunday school it would go far toward solving the problem. The speaker spoke of the effect the Sunday newspaper had in keeping men from church and Sunday school and denominated it one of the best de- vices of the devil. Today Is the last day of the Sunday school conference. It will be held in the rooms of the Young Men's Christian assoclation, the morning session opening at 10 o'clock and the afternoon session at 2:30. In the evening a mass meeting will bo held at which Prof. Hamill will speak on “Better Bible Study." IDEAL OF THE CHRISTIAN, Bermon by Rev. Luther Kuhns of Grace Lutheran (hurch Yesterday. “Alming at the Ideal” was the subject of & | hovd i lof a sermon yesterday morning by Rev. Luther M. Kulns at Grace Lutheran church, from the text: “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His com- mandments; for this is the whole duty of man." Mr. Kubns said in part Soclety 18 a upit; and, notwithstanding its progressive development into the civilization of today, full of promise for tomorrow, there I8 a continuity in its evolution held by an indissoluble bond. Tnstead of lessening In- dividual respoasibility, the very relations map, as an essential part of soclety, sustains to the whole, arising from the inherent and eternal nature of things, are eularged and ennobled 80 as to make the person who fairly nd clearly sees that the moral element Is an integral part of the buman constitution with an authority not dependent upon any particu lar view of the exact nature of consclence, a force In society for its eteady improvement. In view of this, and beside, belleving they are true in their teaching and of very present W, J0ur atieution 1s asked to the word Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His com- mandments; for this is the whole duty of man.'t These words seem to me to make for a religion of both heart and life as the result of a wide and deep experience, that is of a life trying to realize its ideal by keeplng its ethical aim constantly in full view. The full ideal of man as originally contemplated in his creation in the image of God Is realized alone in Christ, and, through a lite hid with Christ in God, In the saints. Although Christians are fo alm at the stature of man Christ, of course, completeness of perfection Is not to be expected in th's life; and the best man you know on earth Is not without his faults and failings. Review your own personal experience; study, for example, your conflict of will with that of the divine will revealed, either in the Ten Commandments, or the Beatitudes, the practical conclusion, after a vanities, is the antidote for worldliness, 1 and keep His commandments. F , in the nature of the case, are fying to the spiritual aspirations; are full of disappolntment and dissatisfaction, and the only practical alleviation of the present life 1s not in suicide, or other crime, but in hold- ing fast the conclusion, as a personal law of |m» that the reverence of God and cbellenc to Him is the anly perfect freedom, the eman cipation of truth. Follow this thought to where the smile of Olivet lightens the frown of Sinai, and, in the love test of discipleship, it becomes the ethical aim of Christianity in the supreme purpose of redemption and providence. This throws a cheer into your life as, under such a sense of duty, you develop a strong, ster ling manhood, in‘ended alike iu creation and redemption, So Christ ‘“Take heed and keep yourselves from all covetousness; for a man’s life consisteth not in the abu dance of the things which he possesseth.' unsatis- says VIEWS O Frank Crane Tells of the Avenger Getting Even with spain. As a prelude to his sermon yesterday Rev. Frank Crane of the First Methodist church spoke of the Cuban revolution. He said “Senor Donoso Cortes said in Parliament at Madrid: ‘No Frenchman is a republican. Why, then, is France a repub- lic? Because a republic is a necessary form of government for a people’ who are un- governable.” This sharp tilt might with ju tice be made against the entire list of Span- ish-American republics. Their democracy does not seem o much a love of some form of government as a grudge at all forms. The student of history will bear in mind that the republic of the United States in spirit, foundation and character, as far removed from the republics of South or Central America as the north pole is from the south. This struggle of Cuba to be quit of the Spanish yoke Is part of the closing chapter of the long 'story of Spain's decay. In the days of Philip 11 Hispania held nearly the whole New World in its grasp and was the master of Burope. But she only used her power for pillage and persecution. She tied lier fortunes to the chariot wheel of bigotry pledged all her glory to the vain effort tc bolster up the toppling edifice of a medieval faith, and has since beheld her crown of international prestige taken from her, her wealth shrunken to poverty, her colonial pos- sessions, one by one, wresied from her grasp. To one who contemplates this national trag. edy, in which the centures are ‘acts’ and cach generation a ‘scene,’ there must come a profound conviction of the just vengeance of the Ruler of the Destiny of Nations, For if ever opportunity was misused by the most desplcable selfishness, or power e ed by the bloodiest and cruelest of tyrannies, it has been in the case of Spain. “While the rise of the North American states reads like the dream of a dawning millennium, the story of brutal lust, inhu- man slavery, unvarying treachery and more than hellish religious intolerance of the South American countries is one of the most re- volting in the dark annals of human deprav- ity. The hand of God writes plainly upon the page of history that the nations, as well as men, shall be judged ‘by the deeds done In the body,’ and that people who violate the laws of the Governor of the Universe shall sooner or later lie shipwrecked upon some desolated shore while the stream of progress flows on. “As for the outcome of all this Spanish- American land, from Mexico to Argentina, the pulpit sees some gleam of hope in the present efforts to form a Central American league or republic. 1f this idea shall be carried out and the Central American coun- tries, with Cuba, shall form one govern- ment, stability may be assured. These coun- tries are practically new land, thelr re sources undeveloped, their magnificent po sibilities practically untouched. . The great cause of their backwardness today is the unstability of government, the insecurity of life and property. A tyranny is more benefi- cent than perpetual turbulence. There is one man among these Spanish new world people who In remarkable measure unites the iron decision of a king to the diplomatic skill president; a man who Is practical enough to suit his times—his policy being Bismarckian in its character—and yet liberal enough to welcome English capital and mod- ern protestantism; a man who, if chosen to the presidency of this new Central American republic, would insure its prosperity and, as much as any man could, its permanency—I mean Porfirlo Diaz of Mexico.” e TLow Rutes to Red Ouak, lowa, Via the Burlington route, June 25 to 29, ac- count race meeting at Pactolus park.

But with this large number out of the city Omaha suggested a real touch of metropolitan life yesterday, for the first time this season, so far as out-of-town visitors are concerned. They congested the hotels, lunch counters and down town restaurants. They applauded the Second infantry band to the echo, although odious comparisons were made with the band of the Second and the artists who make up the brass at interior places. But they liked the fort band notwit} g, and thought taat some of the pieces were “out of t.” Not content with the green of Hanscom park and watching the equipages of the swells as they drove through the park, the visitors went to the ball game and “‘hollered for Omaha Then they went to Courtland beach, took a turn on the switchback and wanted to shoot the chutes, but the manage- ment has not got this far in entertaining and they were compelled to be content with the mild pleasures of the merry-go-round and listen to the consumptive barrel organs grind out sgomething suggestive of De Bowery,"” with a plaintive wail about never going there any more. But everything went yesterd: with the visitors and they were so Unor- oughly well taken care of that when state fair time comes around they wlil renew ac- quaintance with the ‘‘metropolis” as one bucolic youth, swinging the hand of %is “best people,” remarked, as he waded through the sand to the amphitheater, Where two strong acts were put on for the pleasure of the people. It would be hard to say how many people were at the beach yesterday, although up to 6 o'clock 4,000 admissions had been paid at the central gate. Last night's crowd seemed quite as large as that of the day, and seems a safe statement to make that people enjoyed the host of attractions terday at Courtland. The crowd was decid- edly reminiscent of the big days Court had last year, and it gave confidence to thos who mean to make the beach this year more popular than ever before. As for the attractions presented, they are upon a high order, Achille Philion’s act on the spiral runway being sensational and de- cidedly new to this part of the country. The runway is eighteen inches wide and extends fitty feet above ground, and up this spiral way Philion rolls a huge ball, his foot be- ing the propelling power. But not content with this achievement, when forty feet above the earth he carries the ball over a cable which is twenty feet long or more, brings the ball back to the topmost point of the spiral tower, and then, amid a shower of rockets and Roman candles, he rolls the ball to the ground, making a sensational picture and one of the best specialty acts seen on the stage. The Beni Zong Zong Arabs give interesting examples of ground and lofty tumbling, while their pyramids are formed with dexterity and exceeding aptness. There were other features at the beach that attracted attention, and the visitors went home well pleased with their day in Omaha.
