THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, JULY 21, 1902, TRIBUTE T0 LATE DR, HIRST Dengregation of First Methodist Ohurch a Memorial Servioss. SPEAKERS HONOR THEIR DEAD PASTOR Flis Praises Sounded in Sincere Praise and Hymned in Music Arranged Especially the Oceaston. tor Those who had loved and revered Dr [A. C. Hirst as a pastor and as a man gath- ered at the First Methodist Eplscopal church Sunday morning to pay a last tender tribute to his memory, and the edi- flee was crowded with those who could bear personal testimony to his kindly, un- selfish, Christtan influence. The hymns, the spoken words, the molst eyes, tho wreaths of flowers, the crape upon the altar, all reflected the reverential spirit of the hour, and spoke of the loss sustainod by the church and the community. “Is our pastor dead?’ asked Charles A. Goss. “The unreal part of him—the change- ful, fleeting evanescent, mortal part—is @ead; but the ideal, the permanent, the Smmortal part shall abide with us for- wver.” Several pastors of other congregations in the city were present to participate in the service. Rev. Dr. D. K. Tindall of Trinity Methodist church led in the Lord's Prayer; Rev. C. N. Dawson of the Seward Btreet Methodist church and Rev. C. C. Olssell of the Hanscom Park Methodlst church read scripture lessons; Rev. Amos Luce of the Monmouth Park church real one of Dr. Hirst's favorite hymns, “God Moves in a Mysterious Way:” Rev. J. W. Jennings, D. D., presiding elder, read the fate pastor's official record, and Rev. Ed- ward F. Tretz of Kountze Memorlal church gave a brief talk on the subject, “‘As Seen By Other Denominations.” Charles A. Gosa delfvered the principal address, his theme being “‘Our Pastor,” and J. O. Detweller read several sets of resolutions that had Deen adopted by the trustees of the church, the Epworth league, the Sunday achool, the Ministers' league and other bodies. Music Unusunlly Impressive. The choir gave a musical program of un- usual impressiveness, including “In Me- morlam,” written by Mr. Thomas Kells choirmaster, especially for this service, “in Joving memory of Dr. Hirst. It opencd with a broad recitative, sung by Mrs. Kelly as a soprano solo, and was followed by & tenor solo in which Mr. McCreary's fine Iyric volce was displayed to the best advantage. At the climax, with which the anthem closed, the audience arose, and re- mained standing, with bowed heads. A number of well-known musicians who were present, among them Mrs. Mabelle Craw- ford, the well-known concert contralto of Chicago, heartily congratulated Mr. Kelly upon the solemn and impressive grandeur ot the composition. Among other notable ntimpers of the mu- sical program were the anthem, ““Blest Are the Departed,” in which the work of the new contralto, Miss Nora McCabe, was ca- peclally excellent; the chant, “De Pro- fundls,” and the processional hymn, “O, Parad The closing number was one of Charles Wesley's hymns: | orlous Warfa i The baitle's fought, the race fs won. ‘And thou art crowned at last.

Performance Fulfills Promine, He exemplified the sincerity of his prom o in speech by his performance of deed: ono ever, o quickly as he, found his ce in the church life and daily lite of is people, old and young. He soon got 0ld of the reins and showed that he was ot only & safe driver with a light han ut @ sure leader with a strong purpose: He soon_obtalned a wonderful hold upon all the departments of the church work. Probably never before have they all done #0 much in_their respective lines as since o came. He counted no effort too pains- taking and no detail too small to deserve his best thought and attention His large experience and his good judgment led him to prepare in advance in his own mind, if not on paper, just what ought to be considered at all the meetings which he attended, and he attended most of them. He was modest in his manner of sugges- tion to others, and he had no arrogant pride of opinion that was hurt if his plans Were not adopted. He was one of that . roportion of people who could al- Ways Be Felled on to carry out with tact 3 fidelity to plan anything entrusted to m, And he loved his people.

Pastor Trefs's Remarks, Edward F. Trefz, pastor of Kount: morial church, spoke on Dr. Hirst as seen by other denominations. He sald: Ours is one heart today, and that heart mches with its burden of tears. Our good and great friend hath gone. The dett apinner noble ougl eautiful words will weave no more fabrics for our wouls’ delight and uplift. Yet so mightily he impress us with his goodness and nd truth that lo n the future volce whisper to us in our dreams his footsteps walk by our side. You, each recurring Sabbath day, have to the charmed music of his soul often hear the echo of his volce within walls, like the far-sighing strain of t and lingering melody.

He recognized with broad vision that there must be several views of the Christ, and therefore; the thought held by the churches must separate them into various schools or denominations. It was his firm bellef that serving one’s church best made serving the Christ best, and that we all were doing God’s work in a masterful way and there need be no discord nor separation among those who had been selected as the ambassadors of the Lord Christ here on earth. This was his thought, expressed most beautifully one summer evening: “We may love our garden and home tenderly, but we must not trample down the field of another; each morning when the dew hangs upon our vines we must confess that it glistens as well in the parks of our meighbors, and sparkled before wa wore born, and will be full of sunbeams after we are dead.” ON A WALK AROUND JERUSALEM. Rev. D. K. Tindall Delivers Instruc- tive Lecture on the Theme. “A Walk Around Jerusalem" was the theme of Rev. D. K. Tindall last evening at the Trinity Methodist church. He said in part: “We will begin our walk at the southwest corner of the city—at the valley of Hinnom. Here Is a deep and frightful looking chasm, running eastward, It has an awful history. It was once the dumping ground of the vegetable and animal refuse of the city. Here worms ever ate and the fire never dled; and it was about this place that children were burned in wor- ship to Moloch, in which horrible practice Solomon, to please his heathenigh wife, took a part. This is what come to Solomon from being unequally ‘yoked' in marriage. All this that was seen about Himmom was in- deed a fit symbol of future punishment. A veritable Gehenna. Whatever be the nature or length of the hell of the future, there is enough of hell in this world to create an earthquake of feeling in every heart. Near Hinnom is the Mount of Evil Counsel, where it is sald that in the house of Calphas the death of our Saviour was plotted. We now come to Aceldama, where the consclence-smitten Judas Iscariot com- mitted sulcide to get rid of his torment. Nature has left this placd tn all its barren and forbldding aspects, planting no flower or growing no tree to relleve it of its mem- orfes. This case of Judas shows us sin can- not be committed ‘with iffpunity. The cun- ning tricks of the patriarch Jacob over- took him in his 614 age with sorrow. The compromising Pilate 1s said to have com- mitted sulcide. Herod Antipds kills John the Baptist and {s finally banished. Spain cruelly treats heér.colonies and loses her American possessions and her pational standing and honer. “Here 1s the pool of Siloam, ‘where the man who Jesus auolnted, washed his eyes and saw; also the Virgin's fountain, which s likely the pool of Bethesda, whose waters the angel of God now and then troubles for the healing of the people. We have now reached Absolom's pillar, which this miserable man is sald to have built for himself. He was a disobedient and treacherous son and wrought his own ruin. His memory is hated by all the inhabltants of Jerusalem, who stone his tomb as they pass it. We now find ourselves at the now beautiful, but once sorrowful Gethsemane. How suggestive of a night of sorrow Is this place. Here began the blood atone- ment of Jesus to redeem the race. Many and awful are the nights of sorrow In this old world. Men of business and care know of them. Mothers with wayward childrem can tell of them. They sre in all homes and in every heart. But as the angel of God strengthened Jesus and made His after sufferings more easy, and made Him to triumph over all things, so the Son will strengthen and give us victory over every enemy. We are now at Calvary, where our Sayiour redeemed the world, lifted em- pires off their hinges, turned the streams of the centuries and began to govern the ges. Every one Who blesses mankind will have his calvary. Retracing our steps a little to the east we come to beautiful Olivet, where Jesus was sefn in bodlly presence for the last time. Behold Him mount the skies in His cloudy charlot, es- corted by a convoy of angels. How trium- phant the scene! The Wilderness, Gethso- mane and Calvary are under His feet for- ever! Some sweet day all of pain, sorrow and sin will be under our triumphant feet forever! Let us press on till that day shall come.” HOW CHRISTIANITY HELPS MEN, Serving Others Brings Happiness and Content to Indivi, Rev. Clinton Douglas of Albjon, Neb., preached at the First Congregational church Sunday morning and was listened to by a fair-sized congregation. The song service was especlally interesting on this occasion Rev. Douglas based his remarks upon the text from Acte: “For there stood beside me this night the 1 of God, Whose I am and Whom I serve.” He described graph- fcally the atory of the great storm on the Mediterranean sea, and how for fourteen days and nights a ship was driven before it. how those on board expected to be lost; how after all hope had been glven up and the ship on the point of belng deserted God aved it and those on board in answer to the prayers of Paul. “And this is not the only instance,” said Rev. Douglas, “where God has saved many because of one. We all know that two or three Christian families living 1n & com- munity have a good bffect-on that com- munity and benefit it in many ways. Scof- ters are benefited where there are churches. Wherever there is the least bit of Christi- anity, even though It be surrounded by sin, its influence for good fs felt. “If you are an unhappy Christian live for others, do for others, forget self and you will no longer be unhappy. Do mot be a Christian so much because to be 80 is to be happy, but because to be a Christian s to serve.” Rev. Douglas then impressed it upon his hearers to attend to the little things in lite. “There are many who are willing and ready to do the spectacular and to do the great - things, but there are very few who take the time to look after the little things. And the little things in this life are what count. These little acts that bring happin and contentment to people are the things that show one's Christianity.” WORK A SPECIFIC FOR SORROW, Rev. Dr. Mann Suggests & Remedy for Ile of Life. Rev. Newton Mann of Uity cburch leaves in a day or two to spend the summer in the British isles, the trip to Liverpool to be made in a freighter ln order that he may be as long upon the water as possiblo, and he announced yesterday that tiere would probably be no services until the last Sundpy in September or the first fn O:tobr. His parting sermon concerned the durk- ness of the soul and the meaus of dis- pelling that darkness. In oart ha sid “Our sorrows in this world do not come &ll or mainly from the death of loved omes, from the loss of health or fortuns; they come mainly from & maladjustment of cur lives to the world, whereby we miss the proper and best exercise of our hearts snd minds, the satisfaction of our deep desires, Incitement to worthy smblilon, 'he full development of our powers of help- fulness. We are meatly in some measure shut in, stunted, dwarfed by clrcumstances with the result that we sit viry ruch n darkness, often in tears. The cramping cir- cumstances are often largely of our own making, and this suggests the possibility tor | of our unmaking them, thus securing the needed liberty of the spirit. “Here is where religion comes In as & reconciling and harmonizing power to rem- edy In some measure the untoward eire cumstances of life. It does this bv in- spiring us to self-help and -he help of others. One can always find a more un- fortunate soul than one’s self and sympathy for that soul poined with active effort there- fore takes ome out of one’s own troubles. The assiduous servants of humanity have had no time or disposition’to fret over their personal misfortunes. Jesus, who was thoroughly given to human helpfulness, kept His own good cheer under trying con- ditlons, deprived of very much that must have seemed to His ardent heart desirable. Pasteur, with the Infinitely superior ed- vantages of our time, was able to do directly A thousand times more for the lessen'ng of misery, and he, too, found In his serv- fee the consolation of all his woes. “The religlous sentiment as it expresses itself Godward, as it flows forth in asoira- tion and in trust, restores the soul. There is health in these high communings for they take us out of our egolsms and make our miseries petty In the light of an abounding beneficence. “It 1s idle to dream of a state here or hereafter free from all discomforts eund certainly they in this world who never grieve cannot be good people, but when cur misfortunes work out for us pillence, res- Ignation, trust; when hope and faith rise triumphant over whatever lot, we seem to sec evil transmuted before our faces into good. Thus fate ftself 1s cofied and the human creature, ravaged perhaps ty disease to a shadow, rises before us spiritual, te.- Itke, creative, commanding our wonlsr snd our reverence. We feel and know that we" have seen the victory of the soul.” OMAHA'S RESORTS YESTERDAY. Sam Murphy Goes Up in a Balloon by His Teeth. Lake Manawa had a very big attendance yesterday. The cool weather prevented many bathing, but the electric launches, steamer and rowboats were well patron. ized. The lake presented a picturesque view with the many yachts ete. Covalt's band was, as usual, the great center of attraction. The musical program this week s an unusually attractive one and was about doubled yesterday, because of the many encores. Mr. Covalt so gener- ously responded to. The picola solo ren- dered by Mr. Lee H. Davis and Mr. Covalt's cornet solo recelved merited applause. The raln that visited Omaha during the aft- ernoon did not reach Manawa and conse- quently the throngs remalned and every- body seemingly enjoyed the day's outing. At Courtland Beach. Notwithstanding the low temperature Courtland beach had a big crowd yesterday afternoon. After the shower the evening crowds began to arrive and the street cars landed passengers at the beach at the rate of fifty a minute until 9:30 o'clock. Sam Murphy, the daring aeronaut, made the most wonderful balloon ascension ever seen in this part of the country. At ex- actly 7:36 o'clock the word was glven, “Everybody let go,” and the great big balloon, which had been filled as full as possible, ehot up at a remarkably rapid pace, Murphy hanging onto ‘he parachute with hands for probably two seconds, when he let go and hung by his teeth, waviug two American flags, one In either hand. In this position he remained for several minutes, when he performed all sorts of contortions ‘and hung on by his toes. It was seven minutes from the time he left the ground until he struck terra firma. After cutting loose the parachute dropped 100 teet or 80 before it filled with alr and Murphy hung down by his toes, making the entire descent In this perilous posi- tion. Everybody declared it the moat wonderful act of daring they had ever wit~ nessed. The Rouens gave two exhibitions of thelr novel flylng trapeze and celling walking performances, which were enthu- slastically recelved. The colored quartet are such favorites that they were repeat- edly encored and, as Manager Grifiths ex. presses it, “they are compelled to sing until they can barely get out a cough.” The bowling alleys were crowded every minute. Only 100 or 6o of the most dar- ing took to bathing.

Friends of Senator J. H. admiring the new Panama hat brought_home from Washington. 1t is 80 much finer than the average so-called Panama headgear that it occasions remark among those of the senator's friends who have inspected jt. The hat ds of large crown and wide brim. The texture is as fine as that of woven linen and quite as pliable. It is of light weight, yet holds its shape perfectly. The hat came as a present to Senator Millard_from a friend who resides in Porto Rico. Prior to its receipt the senator keemed contentjwith an ordinary fedora- shaped straw. 'When the new hat was presented the donor stated that he had gone out into the interlor of Porto Rico to buy It of the mast prominent weaver, who said that one of hls expert weavers, a woman, worked two months upon it. It fs a work of art. A silk loom could hardly Millard are that he produce a more even, regular or beautiful | eftect. | On the San Juan market this hat, ft is atd, would bring not less than $60. New York any dealer could easily get §1%0 for it, for down east it is impossible to meet {he demand for genuine Panama hats this year. The above good story which appeared Sunday morning In the World-Herald brings to mind the story of another Pan- ama hat which lias floated through the cor- ridors of the State department at Wash- ington for a year or more. At one time when the mercury was soaring in the 90's at the pational capital Congress- man D. H. Mercer felt that his wants would never be completely atisflied until he could wear one of the lightweight head coverings which have lately become so preclous and popular. A Nebraskan whose name need not be suppressed, as was the name of the friend of Senator Millard, was then, as now, consul general of the United States at San Balvador, a country not far from the Isthmus of Panama and famous for its Panams b Mr. Mercer wrote to John Jenkins and asked him to buy him ome of the fashionable headgear. Mr. Jenkins lived in the city of Panama a matter of twenty-five years ago before coming to Omaha, and is an expert in the matter of Panama hats, being able to distingulsh be- tween the spurious and the genuine at a glance. Coming from & congressman and a representative from the district fin which he (the consul, not the congressman) makes his home, the requisition was promptly honored after some trouble and the expenditure of a considerable amount of money. The amount expended was per- baps not as much as that paid by the friend of Senator Millard for his Porto Rican Panama, but then the job In Porto Rico pays more than the job at San Sal- vador, and the comgressman had no part in the appointment of the consul. The San Salvador Panama was a beauty and It reached Washington in due time, but while many of his friends complimcnted Congressman Mercer upon his headgear, there was mo plcture nor public notice taken of the Central American creation. In fact, as the story is told in the State department, there was not only no public acknowledgment of the new tile, but the congressman did not seem to really appre- clate the consular purchase and forgot to acknowledge recelpt to the Nebraskan who had takem the trouble to please the rep- resentatt The congressman also .forgot to remit to the representative of the United States the money which he had ex- pended In United States gold transmuted into free silver of the tropical republi: The story whispercd in Washington wi wafted across the continent to Nebraska s short time after Consul Jenkins arrived at home to spend his vacatiom. Whea asked as to the truth of the re- In port Mr. Jenkins seemed annoyed to think that the well-defined rumor had leaked out, as it had been treated as ome of those di- plomatic incidents which are supposed to remain secret even between those who are really fully aware of all the detalls, and Mr. Jenkins has also prided himself upon his ability to judge men, thinking it one of the first duties of a consular represent- atlve of the government to be a good busi- ness man. The consul, however, reluct- antly admitted that the rumor was true and that the cost of the congressman's hat had been charged off his personal ac- count to profit and loss. Still Keeps 1t Up. “During a period of poor health some time ago I got a trial bottle of DeWitt's Little Early Risers,” says Justice of the Peace Adam Shook of New Lisbon, Ind. “I took them and they did me ®o0 much good I have used them ever since.”” Safe, reliable and gentle, DeWitt's Little Early Risers neither gripe nor distress, but stimulate the liver and promote regular and easy action of the bowels. WITH A QUANDARY AND A TEAM W. H. Frits of Lockbourn, Ohlo, Has a Problem to Propound to the Police. An unknown person, representing him- | self to be a farmer, drove up before an | employment agency near Eleventh and Farnam streets, and engaged W. of Lockbourn, O., to do some harvesting for him at $1.50 per day. The new hired man and his employer had not gone far on the road toward the latter's home when the farmer suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to make a purchase and | asked Fritz to lend him a little money for this purpose. The newly employed pro- duced $6.25. They then returned to the street before the Barker hotel and the farmer went to get his merchandise, leav- ing Fritz to hold the hors He held it for four hours. He then drove over to the police station for consultation. What Fritz wants to know is whether he has been swindled or only that the farmer is'shop- ping for wet goods and will return some- time.

Fritz | OMAHA EELEY INSTITUTE when McDonald was in office,” says At- | torney Dan J. Riley, who, with Lysle Ab- bott, represents Parrotte and who filed the petition late Saturday afternoon. “On the day before, April ‘5, George W. Ames left town, owlug Parrotte $3,000 and at 12:05 a. m., Deputy Sheriff Lewis took Parrotte and one witness and declared attachment on seventy-five different lots in Ames Place, ‘Hillside addition, Newport addition and Brighton addition to secure Parrotte's claim. Parrotte demurred at the time against the absence of an additional wit- ness, but Lewis assured him it would be all right. Three days later Ames gave the Omaha Natlonal bank a morigage on these lots and then there was a contest in the courts, which resulted in the supreme tribunal ruling in favor of the bank and dissolving the attachment last October for the reason that Lewis had had In the eyes | of the law, only one witness, whereas two are required to legalize such levying tran: action. ¢ “‘Last ‘January Ames went through bank- ruptey and we proved up our clalm for the original $3,000 and for interest and cos Amounting toian sdditional $1,800.
