THE OMAHA“DAILY BEE: MONMOUTH PARK METHODISTS Oslebrate Bunday by Dedicating Their Haadsome New Ohurch. SERVICES MADE VERY IMPRESSIVE Prestding Elde: ings and Stason and Other Ministers Take a Part in the Exercises During the Day. Jei fhe Monmouth Park Methodist Episcopal ehurch, at the corner of Thirty-fourth street.and Larimore avenue, erected to take the place of the one destroyed by the high wind of March, was dedicated Sunday with impressive ceremonies, morning, afternoon and night. The church was crowded at each service, and those present contributed the $300 balance due of the $3,100 which the building cost, at the morning and afternoon mervices. The bullding committee reported that the church building had cost $3,100. Of this sum $083.25 was recelved from the insur- ance on. the bullding destroyed; the Board of Church Extension contributed; from the sale of the material in the old building $400 was realized; cash and labor, $1,250. aving & balance of $266. The church s0 Indebted $400 on the old bullding, this to be paid in two years and drawing 4 per cent interest. Presiding Blder J. W. Jennings immedi- ately appointed a committee to ralse the necessary amount among the congregation and the fund was started by the Ladies' ‘Ald soclety, which subscribed $50. At the morning service $150 was raised snd the \balance was tontributed at the afternoon rvice. Larger and Better. The church is & bandsome structure, lar- ger than the one destroyed, and consists of & commodious suditorium, a lecture room, Sunday school library room and the pastor's study. It will be heated by a furnace. The new pews, which are In transit, falled to arrive on time, though shipped two weeks ago, and the old one: ved from the wreck of the old bullding were used Sunday. The mew ones are expected any day. At the morning service Presiding Eider Jennings, Rev. A. J. Markley, Rev. A. A. Luce, pastor of the church, and Rev. F. M. Sisson, presiding elder of the Norfolk dis- trict, formerly pastor of the Hanscom Park Methodist church, occupled seats in the pul- | pit and took part in the seryice. Dr. Sissoa preached the morning sermon, his theme being the “Trinity of Man, Because of Which He May Be Counted Worthy of a Kinship to God and of Immortality.” At 2:80 o'clock occurred the roll call of classes and the Sunday school collections, followed by a reception to the members. Dr. D. K. Tindall and Rev. C. N. Dawson delivered short address nd pald many compliments to the officers of the church, through whose emergy and enthusiasm the new church wasg made possible. Presiding Elder Dr. J. W. Jennings conducted the dedicatory exercises according to the ritual of the church. An interesting feature of this service was the Juet, “Lead, Kindly Light, ung by Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Luce. The evening service was deyoted to an Epworth league rally and a sermon by Rev. A. J. Markley. The church was tastefully decorated with cut flowers and palms. ‘These men composed the bullding com- mittee: Rev. A. A. Luce, chalrman; A. J Rosinbum and J. E. Morton.

Dr, Conley Expounds the M of Chr! nity Toward School: At the First Baptist church Sunday morn- ing the pastor, Rev. J. W. Conley, preached on tho subject, “The Church and Edu- cation,” taking as his text Proverbs iv:7, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom, and with all thy getting get understanding.” A collection was taken for the Baptist college at Grand Island. ““Wisdom is not merely knowledge,” said the pastor. “One may know & great deal— may have college diploma or two, and still not be very wise. Wisdom is a spe- clal kind of knowledge. A wise man knows the true purpose and ends of life and also knows what ends to employ to at- tain this end. Knowledge is power. Wis- dom 1is power understood and properly di- rected. It is the province of Christianity to bring wisdom into knowledge, to teach men the true end of life and how to at- tain it, Education is the tralning and de- velopment of the powers of the soul, but all such training should be toward the highest ends; hence all education needs the wisdom of the gospel. “The first duty is that of {nspiration and incentive. There is a markud dif- ference in homes in relation to education. In some homes the children have no other thought than that they must go to school regularly and do faithful work, and they §o right on naturally, planning for acad- omy and college. In other homes the situ- ation is entirely different. School s sub- ordinated to other things. The children are irregular in their attendance, drop out when thelr course is only partially completed and have little or no thought for & higher education. It is a difference in the ideals and atmosphere of the homes, It is much the same with churches. “Bvery church ought to stir up its young people to make the most possible of them- selves. The stmosphere of the church ought to be charged with an inspiration to worthy attainments. “There are important reasons why the church should establish and maintain schools of a positively religious character. First, the state does not, and probably mever will undertake fully to meet the demands of higher education. A common view of the state university is that it is needed and that it is an Integral part of our public school system—but that all the state is called upon to do s to make it certaln that there shall be a sufficlent number educated in the higher branches to insure the highest good to The Ak-Sar-Ben Excursion Which leaves Omaha next Tuesdsy for Deadwood and the Black Hills country, will do more for OMAHA than any excursion which ever le!lN hlrhi"l‘;lA'l‘ I8 THEIR l m TH' those TRIBUT EO UP Dm Iull'l G "&‘Mrllnl Spray medies. ] &' Yap T e Menen's T-lcum Powdn N OPEN ALL NIGHT, OFFICE, the state. The state s not in duty bound to give all a higher edueation, but to secure a sufficlent npmber for its own welfare. This, I beliéve, is the prevalling idea. Hence the work of higher educa- tion on the part of the state will always be limited, and there will of necessity be a permanent place for denominational and private schools.” GOD, NOT A MERE ABSTRACTION. Rev, L. O. Clarke Explal His Com- ception of the Diety’s Nature. Rev. L. C. Clarke of Belle Plain, Ta., yes- terday preached at the First Methodist church upon the subject, “Jesus, the Re- deemer of the World." “A great many people have the {dea that God is some mysterious functionary, like the government af Washington, with little or mo persomality—a sort of a vague ab- straction without tangible form or being. That is a grave mistake. God s a concrete, infinite being, incarnated and therefore 1 personated by the Son, Jesus Christ. He is the Maker of our souls and the Father of our spirits; not that alone, He is the Re- deemer of the world.” The minister then portrayed God in all His attributes, showing them to be not merely abstract forms and theories, but ab- solute, tangible, concrete facts. His love, Iiberty and truth were all Inearnated. “Abstractions aré things that can be read- tly comprehended and analyzed, without profound substancé. Who can fathom the depth of that boundless love which led the Father to give the Som on Calvary for the redemption of mankind? Could lberty be appreciated without the glorious triumphs which have marked the progress of free Christendom? Could even Americans as thoroughly understand and as keénly feel the great meaning of that sublime word without the revolution before them? Who can say that truth is not incarnate, lnfinite and eternal? “This is God. But to know God we must think of Him, of His puFposes, commune with Him and live with and for Him. No assimilation was possible without associa- tion. “The glory of relatiohship with God is the power that brings ‘us fnto fellowship with Him,” said Mr. Clarke: “This is a point too often misunderstood. Fellowship of His sufferings did not imply mutual phys- fcal pain or suftering, which mistaken theory often leads tb a sort of useless melancholy in Christian. service, but His children must suffer because of ®in, if they would thus come into fellowship with Him, who, incar- nated In theé Son, dled because of sin and for the atonetment of alle Bin was the dart that plerced the heart of God and every true Christian, Hi follower.” N Stil. ieeps it Up. “During & 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 ¢id me so much good I have used them ever eince.” Safe, re- lMable and gentle, DeWitt's Little Early Risers neither gripe nor istress, but stim- ulate the llver and mmoto egular and easy sution of the powels. NEBRASKA AND- GRAND ARMY Veterans Figuré on Sending Big Train to B t at Washi October. The question of an excursion to Wash- ington to attend the annual encampment of the national organization of thq Grand Army of the Republic is being discussed among the members of'that soclety in this clty. The encampment will not be held until October, but arrangements will prob- ably be completed for &, .Nebraska ex- cursion & month previous to that time. Sald & member of the soclety: ““We had six carloads of Nebraskans at the encampment at Cleveland, but expect t Washington. There of the Army of the Potomac in Nebraska than of any other division of the army, and the session to be held at the national capital will glve them an opportunity to visit the scenes of their army experfence. We will use considerable caution in ecting the line over which we will travel and will ascer- taln which route will take us over the greatest part of the country over which the Army of the Potomac operated. If we can secure an attendance sufficient we will run pecial traln and have stops made at stations near the battle! of the army so that we can make short ex- cursions to those places. Washington is replete with Interest to the old bol- dier of the Army of the Potomac. ~Within easy travel almost every famous battle Dby that army was fought. We should have at least 200 In & nce from this state and will start the work of arranging the excursion in time to permit all to make arrangements to go." The state encampment will be held at Hastings in the latter part of September and a large delegation from Douglas county will be present. MONEY TO TAKE BAND ALONG Knights of Ak-Sar-Bem Expect to Have Twenty-Second Infantry Music at Deadwood. / At the den of Ak-Sar-Ben tonight the final arrangements for the excursion to Deadwood will be made. The schedule for the, train has been announced, and about the only matter to be-decided is the ques- tion of a band. It has been proposed to take the Twenty-second regiment band and some of the excursionists have prom- ised to make good a part of the amount required to pay for the organization. A part of the amount will be pledged this evening if the band is to accompany the trafn. The speaker of the evening will be Rev. E. F. Trefs, who will also be the speaker of the exoursionists on the trip. The tarewell appearance of “Dick” Ferris will be made tonight, he appearing in the role of the grand mufti LAKE OK!

ACCUSES GOVERNMENT OF BAD FAITH ists that Withdrawal of Support Amounted obli- gations with the Indians, from Denominstio: to m Break of Treat At St. John's Cathollc church Sunday morning Rev. Aloysius Bosch, 8. J., head of the Catholic mission of the Rosary, at Pine Ridge reservation, spoke on the sub- ject of Indian missions and the necessity for individual support of those missions. He said in part: “Before entering upon a discussion of the subject I will give a brief history of the Rosary mission. It was established in 1888 'at the Pine Ridge reservation as a con- tract school. The government at that time authorized the building of the schools. by the church and appropriated money for their support. This mission was bullt by a member of the Drexel family ot Philadel- phia, then Miss Catherine Drexel,. v Mother Catherine, head of an order whl has for its object the spread of the falth among the negroes and Indians. The sup- port promised by the government continued for about eight years, when, beginning in 1895, that support was gradually withdrawn. The last step in taking support from the former contract schools was when an at- torney of the United States made a ruling that no rations should be supplied to In- dian children who attend Catholic schools. This law and this rule is unjust. The Cath- olic people of the United States pay . the taxes as well as other citizen We find he word ‘nmon-sectarian’ has been coined to conceal an attack upon the Cath- olic schools on the Indian reservation. In the government schools the teachers give religious training to the caildren, hold prayer meetings and in some cases Prot- gstant preachers visit the schools and give instruction. This instruction is said to be undenominational, but its effect can be seen from the fact that of forty Catholie chil- dren who attend the government school and draw rations but one boy and two girls are found who go to confession. Blow to the Mission, ' Ll Taking the rations from the Catholfe children was a blow to us from which we have not recovered. It makes it mecessary for the school to provide food for the pu- plls. We now have 108 puplls enrolled, six- teen sisters and two fathers at the Rosary mission. We have to kill annually about 125 steers to provide food for them, with vegetables and groceries in proportion. Bince the government aid has been with- drawn the support of these schools and these puplls falls entirely upon the Cath- olic population of the country. To sup- port these schools the archbishops of the country organized a soclety which has for its object the preservation of the faith among the Indians. The annual dues to this soclety from the members is 25 cents per year. It costs approximately $125,000 to maintain the twenty-five Indian schools at the different reservations in the United States. In order to draw this amount from the society there would have to be 400,000 members. We have in'fact abolt 50,000 members, which shows without further words the necessities of the case. Our only revenue comes from a comparatively small amount set aside by Mother Catherine and the donations received. The general sec- retary of the soclety writes me that there are practically no funds in jthe treasury, The Rosary mission, in addition to a debt of $2,600, which is not troublesome, must pey $1,600 by October 1, and I must have rome money on hand when the school opens. This 1s the reason for my visit here today. Ne Hope for a Ohange. “For all of the Injustice of withdrawing the rations from the Catholic Indian chil- dren we can look for no changé in this condition, for the president of thé United States, usually so just in all of his vie and actions, can see no.injustice in this, and his advisers are all opposed to any change. The withdrawal of rations is really a breach of the treaty with the Indlans, for they were sured that they should bhave rations when their lands were taken. s that no support shall be given Indlans not in schools authorized by the government, and this has been held to include the Catholic schools, but an in- vestigation will show that these schools were authorized by the government the time of their construction or subs quent thereto. “The claim is made that the Indis not worthy of civilization. He is said to be lazy, to be a thief, a drunkard and to have a lax view of the marriage bonds. The policy of the United States has ma the Indian all of thess things. It woul do the same with a white ma: Take any man and tell him that you will feed. him and clothe him in the way he is accus- tomed to, regardless of any productive labor on his part, and see If he will not become idle. After giving him all things be requires tell him to work and see how much work he will do. If the Indian is a thief he can point to treaties broken by the white men and lapd taken from him by fraud and violence. The example would be enough to make any man & thief. If he s a drunkard, someone supplied the liquor. As to his laxity in regard to marriage, take the statistics of the divorce courts of United Stal to say nothing of the Mor- mons—and let the comparison be made. Not & Pleasant Station. “It is not pleasant work upon the reser- vation. The days spent {n the camps of Indisns where dog soup is the chief ar- ticle of food, of sick-calls over hundreds of miles of territory made when the ther- mometer is 38 degrees below zer trouble with swollen streams in the spring and fcebound land in the winer; suffering not only personal inconvenience and peril, but the indifference of squawmen and In- dlan alike. But we are there cheerfully, beca: we have been sent. You, know how Father Jutz of the Soclety ;of Jesus, my predecessor at the mission, went into the hostile camp and brought into the lines of the United States the rebel chiefs during the last Sioux uprising. You member that Father Craft, a priest, was almost fatally Injured by a knife thrust at the battle of Wounded Knee, and how when suthorized by Signieur Stephan to leave our mission and take refuge within the American lines our missionaries stayed within the school, surrounded by warring soldiers and within view of the burning government bulldings. Even so close.as Omaha the work of the missionary priests among the Indians is little known. You know and appreciate your missionaries, but do not understand his work. “The Catholics are behind in the mat- of raising funds. Other socleties with less membership raise much more momey.

It wa the -largest outpouring of people, so far this season, for a Sunday, and until the aft- ernoon shower came up promised to ex- ceed even- the Fourth of July attendance. ThHe cléudy sky didn't. deter the people from going early to the beach. In the morn- ing the cars were all comfortably filled and by ‘noon extra cars were put on. By 3:30 o'clock_the one-minute service was landing passengers at the rate of 100 a minute at the beach entrance. There were many plo- nic gatherings in the groves and the bathers Bumbered more than on any previous occa- sion this season. The blg drawing card was the performances of the great Bickett fam- 1ly, who began & week's. engagement. They gave one of the most sensational and ar- tistically neat exhibitions of acrobatic ekill imagioable, turning somersaults, both sf sle and double, from one trapeze to another; casting; virtuslly playing ball with each other in the.air and making leaps twenty- two feet, catehing each other, and Bickett juggled with his wife in & way to astonish the auditors. They also gave a novelty ladder 'act, Introducing all kinds of acro- batic feats, Including head stands, hand stands, . muscular, horizontals, etc. Every act of the entire performance was recelved with hearty and continuous applause. The Bicketts give a speclal ladies’ and chil- dren’s matinee every afternoon this week o'clock. They also perform every evening.at 8:45 o'clock. As these acts are both awe-inspiring and thriliing, they must be seen to be appreclated. The colored quartet received another ova- tion. Their songs are particularly catchy and the audience, as usual, Insisted upon extra numbers until the quartet was com- pletely tired out. LIBRARY BOARD WINS POINT Effort to Advance Insurance Premium on Library Contents in Soom Checked. Prom the experience of the library board it. would appear that the Tate bureau of the insurance companies has “marched up the bill and marched down again” on the Question of rates on the library insurance. It is the custom of the president of the board to keep ‘the fnsurance policles effec- tive upon the contents of the library. When he received the bills for. the renewal pre- miums a week ago President Lew! Reed saw that' the rate had been advanced 325 per cent and demurred to the bill. He lald ths matter before other members of the board’ and each was ready to stand by him in bis protest, even to the point of drop- ping the policies and carrying their own in- surance. The matter was presented to the rate bureau and the manager tuformed that the board would mot stand for the advance. He was told that the current report was to the effect that the 25 per cent advance promul- gated only applied te mercantile risks and that the contents of the public Hbrary were vot merchandise in any sense of the word. ‘The manager took the matter under com- sideration and sodn answered that a mistake had'been mpde by one of the cl and the new policies are being written at the same g | rate as of old.
