FOOLISHNESS OF PREACHING| Rev. Herring Explains Meaning of Strange Beriptural Olause. PULPIT COMES WITH CHRISTIANITY Its Importance Made Clear in the Oute lne of the Apostolic Program for Spreading Newer iospel. *“The Foolishness of Preaching’”’ was the theme of Rev. Hubert C. Herring's sermon at the First Congregational church yest day morning. He argued that preaching is not foolish, but of very great importance. The Epistle to the Corinthians, wherein Paul says “It pleased God by the foolish- ness of preaching to save those that be- lieved,” supplied him with the groundwork for his remarks. “The importance of preaching s clearly et forth in the outline of the apostolic program for spreading the gospel over the world,” said the pastor. “It Is clear to me and to every one else, I think, that preach- ing to a collective body of persons was intended to be the main defense and means for propagating the Christian truths. In the program of the'anostolic activity there fe room left for other agencies such as prayer and the pen. But the importance of preaching is emphasized, and history shows that the Christian religion is the only one that spread from heart to heart and from land to land in this way. When Christianity was born the pulpit came into existence, Its Rise and Partinl Fall, “In the early days of the church preach- ing stood foremost and a number of great preachers such as Ambrose and Augustine and others came .into existence. Later there was a tendency to reduce preaching to a minor consideration and today we find it 80 in the Greek, Roman and some of the Episcopal forms of worshir. On the other hand, the inass of evangelical Protestant churches make preaching a predominant factor. If one is to pase judgment on the two forms he must either declare as did the seoffers of Paul's day as to the ‘foolish- ness of preaching’ or he must ask as Paul aid, ‘What do you call the foolishness of preaching?’ “I do not believe in preaching simply be- cause I am a preacher. I believe in it bo- cause T belfeve that man is to come to his inhoritance by the largest use of his best faculties, and speech is the marked faculty of the humansrace. By speech consclous of itself and with asdefinite aim & great many. men, at least, are destined to achieve their greatest power. “By contrasting the accedance of the races that use public speech witly the de- cadence of those who do not, we must ad- mit its value. Public speaking is altogether unknown in the Orient. In England and in this country seems impossible for & num- ber of men to assemble without one of them being called upon or seeming to feel himself called upon to air his views. In my opinion public speaking has a scope, and u significance that we do not dream of. 1t should be cultivated and fostered and kept to the front, not only In the church but in all walks of life. ROCKEFELLER IS NO EXAMPLE, Teaching Sunday School Doesn’t Make Him = Sample Christian. “The coal baron or the coal ofl baron who teaches a Sunday school class one day in the week and grinds the faces of the poor six days In the week is no ex- ample of Christianity,” declared Rev. A. 8. C. Clark at the Lowe Avenue Presby- terfan church yesterday morning, in the course of a sermon on “Self-Preservation and Selt-Sacrific The miniater took for his text the words: “He can save others; Himself He cannot save,” which were derisively hurled, at Ghrist on the cross by the rabid mob. Mr. Clark interpreted this as a vulgar banter, calculated to turn Christ from the performance of the greatest and sublimest deed {n history to the little selfish act of cowardice of saving Himself. “But, while Christ could have come down from the cross and saved His life, while His death on the cross was a voluntary act, while He did ‘not have to perform that terrible deed, yet He could not have saved mankind had'He shrunk from it. And so, in_ Christ, self-sairifice rose abdve self- preservation. The result is, man has a way of salvation and that salvation is free. Had the human impuise dominated Christ He would have com? down from the cross in response to these taunting jeers hurled at Him. Even the strongest of humana sive way to self-preservation rather than solf-sacrifice.” In ltme with this: thought, as it relates to the great spheres of wealth and labor, Mr. Clark made &is allusion to John D. Rockefeller. - He -believed arbitration was an element of selfsacrifice, and as such could and should be more generally prac- ticed In tke affairs of labor and capital. Arbitration was as old as the world and was enunclated by Christ Himself. If al- lowed to govern more generally, he believed strikes and violent disputes between the employer and employe would become things of the past. SAMSON THE THEME. % the Shorn Strong an Example. “The Man Who Would and Couldn't” was the subject of a germon delivered by Rev. Edwin H. Jenks of the First Presbyterian church SBunday morning, the same being based upon the perfidy of Samson, who w shorn of his strength and power because of his forgetfulness-of his Lord. Rev. Jenks took for his text,Judges xvi, 20: “And she said, ‘The Philistines be upon thee, Samson.’ And he awoke out of his sleep And sald, ‘I will go out as at other times before, and, shake myself.’ And he wist not that the Lord was departed from bim.” ““Though the strongest man, physically, in the world at that time, Samson was alse portrayed {p the text as the weakest. Endowed By Ced with great capabilities, by dulgence he lost that power. So to- the pastor said, “the most pitiable of all men is he who is equipped to do great things, but falls in his accomplish. ment. The truth that our sins will find us out s the law of physical being. One has but to visit the madhouses and asylums 1o sce how nature squaros the accounts with sin. So, in mental characteristics, men who are able, capable, and have the talent, often fall. They tdink that they will mccomplish, succeed, but they waste thelr great qualifications and wist not that thelr power departs from them. How often do we 3ee the man of little encrgies striving far in advance of him who, before Reduces work to a minimum GORHAM SILVER POLISH The maximum of effect ‘The minimum of effort Thepit #5cents s package he had lost his reputation and power, had lost himself to self-indulgence. “Man can neglect the high purposes and religious impressions which God makes in him and lose all dedire for good things, the joys of his spiritual life. The most sensi- tive thing in the world s consclence Quiet it, place it in a subordinate position, you lose your power and wake up to find yourself shorn of your strength. 80 we must return to the, Christian elements and intellect and follow them closely to retain o USEFULNESS OF APOSTLE ANDREW. Rev. Cissell Says it Was Proper Sort, “The Business Man and His Religion” was the theme of Rev. Clyde Clay Clssell at Hanscom Park Methodist cburch Sunday morning, the text being John 1, 42. He sald in part “Andrew, the apostle, is one of the he- roes of the seripture, net because he had, a magnificent opportunity to diatinguish himself in some prominent role, but a hero in ‘he insignificant things which make up the sum of human Jife— a man who had one chance and, taking it, made a glorious success. Andrew as a business man—a fish dealer, 'an employer of labor—in his visits to the cities surrounding the sea where he went to sell his goods, met men of cul- ture and learning, so there s no reason to belleve that he was an Ignorani man, em- ployed in a menial occupation. He waa a busy man, and it is always the busy man who does work for the kingdom of God. There are few who are given hours of idlcness who are found at work for the ex- tension of the kingdom of Christ. “In this text we go back to the founda- tlon of the church like tracing the stream to its source. We find all the essentials of Christianity in the hands of twelve men—men little known and of I'ttle in- fluence—the kind of followers that God selects to.do His work. OChrist might have found more profound philosophers at Athens or Alexandria, but as ever He took the material at hand and by widening their sphere touched othéf powers which will make the gospel world-wide. We know little ot Andrew. He comes into the lime. light of publicity for & moment and then disappears. Hé camé fnto -comtact with Jesus through a eermon, abd when he had realized that Jesus wes_the Ohrist he ran to his brother, Simon, and told him about the newly-arrived Lord. He was not a preacher, not & mafn of great ability, but he knew where to find one, And brought to Christ Simon Peter, A man whose influ- ence during theé early years of the church was greater than that of any other. His method was personal and intense, the seriptural method of ‘bringing ouls to God. God works thtough men, and if men are not willing to do God’s work, it must remain undone for the time. If we of<the latter years displayed ‘the emergy of the Chris. the world long ago, for each of the early Christians felt a per- sonal duty to be performed in proclaiming the truths of the gospe!‘and saving souls. “Andrew might have followed the Lord and left Peter o conduct 'thie bualness. That is the way many Christians do these days, but he felt that.he must call Peter to the Lord. There are many persons in the church today who have a duty to per- form in looking for-that brother whom they may call to the Lord, end there can be o excuse offered which will bé accepted in the day of judgment for the failure to call these souls to the truth” .~ ~ et the vy SMITH ON THE FORFEITED TALENT. Methodist Pastor Talks of Returns on God's Investments, 3 At the First Methodist church Sunday morning Rev. B. Comble Smith spoke on ‘The Forfelted Talent,” taking for his text the verse that says, “Take from him the pound.” . +He spoke of the seeming hardness of this speech as comihg from the lips of the kindest of masters and yet the righteous- ness of it. He sald: “It-is one of God's laws that there must be & return for every investment, whether tangible or intangible, and there is no fitter example of this law than that of nature, which continually pro- duces, no matter how adverse tbe circum- stances. Whether it be in ‘Jower planes or in the higher psychic levels, the samo eternal principles are in force. If some- thing be given and mot made use of, it fs taken away from us gradually. Our senses and proclivities are investments that grow with usage and atrophy with disuse. The senses of sight, smell and hearing in early man were very acute, but with his mental advancement and changed conditions they were depended upon less and less until they became no more than ordinary. “The mind of man has developed and he has made great advances in selence, but far more wonderful than the abstract tan- gible advances is that mew feeling that makes it possible for him to nd hear God, in all of nature’s handiwork in a mul- tifold univers HALL PRODS THE . PUBLIC Senator from Douglas Doean't Ci alder There Has Been Suflicient " Expression om Legisinti —_— s Senator Hall, chairman of the senate com- mittee on judiclary, has been instructed by that committee to prepare a bill which has for its purpose changing the form of the oficial ballot so that all constitutional amendments presented to the people for adoption shall appear on the ballot at the top inetead of the bottom. Discussing this change the senator, who spent Sundsy in Omaha, sald: “It has been found that mo constitutional amendment submitted to the people Wi ever defeated by a positive vote, but that practically all have falled by the failure of the voters to record themselves on the question at all. This has led the members of .the committee to belleve that the amendments have not beep brought promi- nently emough before the voters-at the time they were casting their ballots, as thesn amendments are now placed at the bottom of the ticket, where they are not seen. It is questioned that the law count- ing as votes for an amendment all straight party votes cast for a ticket nominated in & convention which has adoptsd the proposed amendment as a part of its plai form is not constitutional, and it is this condition that we propose to correct by the amendment.” Speaking upon the amendm to the Omaha charter which are expected to bo passed at this term, the sepator said: “7 wish there could be some method adopted of getting a general expression on the part‘of Omaha people on these amend- ments. We all hoped something would be done by the mass meeting recently, but these questions were referred to commit- tees and we have not heard from the com- mittees yet. Some things in the charter should be chauged and we belleve that the heads of city departments should show us what changes they belleve fo be necessary and the reasons, 5o we can have an {ntelli- gent idea of the subject. We have heard a lot about house roll 171 and we are all for i, but about 'other things of great importance we have heard nothing. May Yet Be Saved.

Placed confidence. Danfel fs a full-blood Indian, built ke & pumping derrick and possessed of a ca- pacity that would be the pride and envy of any colonel in all Kentucky. From his sire, a distingulshed chiefs he inherited proud name and a regal, seven-days-a-week thiret, which latter started him on the downward road and has had him moving right along ever since his tenth birthday. Finally he got to accommodating friends and became a master of the gentle art of bootlegging, very popular among some of the best people of his tribe, who prefer it to ping-pong or other social diversion. Four times he has been detected by the United States officers and four times he has had to come to Omaha or go to Sioux Falls to “do time.” Hicks a Whited Sepuicher, Upon this last occasion he was taken firft to the Thurston county jall at Pende by Deputy Allan, there to await the ple ure:of Commissioner Sloan. Then appeared the case of misplaced confidence. The Thurston jail has but two cells and they are just off the sherift’s office and easily reached by the visiting public. The visit- ing public drops In to see the sheriff when- ever it likes and talks with any prisoners through the bars as long as it pleases. Tuesday, among the visitors was one H. D. Hicks, a modest, plous-appearing little man with an old frock coat and a clergyman smile. Mr. Hicks was welcome because he appeared to be one who could do the wicked good—and he did do them good. He got two round dollars from Danlel Blockhawk and brought back to Daniel two flat flaske which he shoved beteween the bars when the sheriff wasn't looking. Ddniel put one flask under the blanket on his bunk, and the contents of the other flask under his belt. In about two minutes he began to have ideas and things, and he made a speech that jarred windows in the adjoining townahip. The sheriff saw what had bappened, but concluded there was nothing to do but walt it out. He didn't know Daniel had a second bottle until Daniel had emptied it. Then he found It out right away, for Daniel fell asleep—so soundly asleep that there wi no waking him. Too Much for Alla Deputy Allan reappeared. He wanted his prisoner and he wanted him in time for the next train. The sheriff told James to 80 take him and James went. He called. No answer. He shook him. No movement. He punched him. No defense. He poured water on him. Not a quiver. He wrestied, and tussled, and fyssed and reproached— and finally gave it up. L Then he started an investigation. had everybody on the carpet without I ing what he wanted to know. 'Twenty- four hours later Daniel ime to." When he was able to sit up and notice things he told James about the mild-eyed little Mr. Hicks and the mystery was ocleared up. But Mr. Hicks had cleared out. Allan looked. for him all around the premises, but he was not to be found. If he had been found he might have fared even mors seri- ously than did George Miller, who acoom- modated thirsty witnesses at the federal building recently and wi given fifteen monthe in prison therefor. But it is, Blackhawk is the only one to sdffer. KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS TO GO ‘Will Make Th Visit in Stoux City Next S ¥, stitating New Chapter. Members of the Omaha chapter, Knights ot Columbus, will go to Sfoux City next Sunday, where a_chapter of the order will be instituted. There was to have been a meeting last night to arrange the trip, but because of small attendance it wi décided to call a meeting for Wednesday evening, when the party will be formed. A special train bearing knights from Gales- burg and other. points in the state of Il linols will join the Omaha knights on the trip and members of the order will be present from all parts of the west. A council also will be instituted at O'Neill the Thtter part of March, and it is expected that some of the work will be done by members of the Omaha council. CAUSE OF FALLING HAIR.

Miss Alida Cortelyou, who plays the lead- ifig heavy role with Willlam Gillette in “Sherlock Holmes" is a cousin of George Cortelyou, President Roosevélt's secretary. Although Miss Cortelyou is an American girl, this is her first season in America. During Wilson Barrett's engagement some years ago, he saw her as a'talented ama- teur and engaged her for his season in England. She became his dead'ng woman and was with him during his long run in the “Sign of the Cross” in England. Miss Cortelyou is a powerful emotional actress and her costuming of the part of Mhdge Larabee is said to be very élegant. Mr. Gillette and his company will be seen at the Boyd Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

' MONDAY, FE BRUARY 16, 1903 AT THE PLAYHOUSES Vaudeville at the Crelghton-Orphedm, Beveral new mames greet the patron of the Creighton-Orpheum this week, and along with the new names come new stunts. The old familiar people who are in the bill also have new acts, so that the whole program is one of entertaining novelty. It is diversified, too, though to say that two of the acts are musical and two are athletic would not give this impression. Cressy and Dane, well known here, have the place of honor on the bill. They are presenting a new sketch, written by Mr. Cressy in his own peculiar style, but in many ways an improvement on former work. It is quiet in tone, but fntensely dramatic and with a pleasant mingling of comedy and pathos. It was very well received yesterday. Miss Edith Helena, down on the bill as “the highest soprano In the world,” deserves better of the advertising man. She is far from being “high;" on the contrary, she is rather inclined to be petite, and is. de- cidedly pretty and winsome in her ways on' the stage. She has a volce of great range and purity, which ehe uses with ex- cellent taste. The songs she gave yester- day are those calculated to best exhibit the sweet tones and remarkably flexibility of her voice, although she does not attempt any voeal gymnastics. Her clear, flute-like notes are distifict and melodious, even at the top of her flight, and her modulations are such as delight the critical listener, for she has such control that the highest note is taken with no apparent effort, the volce reaching the climax by a steady, even rise that seems so easy that one would almost be justified In doubting the result were not his ears against his eyes. Miss Helena got a much more enthusiastic reception than is usually accorded a classic singer by a Sunday audience. Zazell and Vernon are not only a little the best pair of horizontal bar performers seen here this season, but they are also tip-top fun makers. Their work is all new and all worth watching. Wood and Bates do a funny musical turn with different instruments, and Lizzie Wil- ®on is very amusing in her single-handed effort. The three Livingstons do some good acrobatic work, introduéing some novelties. “Black Patti” at the Boyd.

John Rucker is a clever comedian and In the first part gives an excellent fmitation of an old darkey and the laughaole difficulties into which he gets through his desire to have his own way and pay no attention to superstitions. He has able assistants, too, and the singing | and daneing with which the part abounds 18 up to the mark.s The second part of the performance gives Mme. Sisseretta Jones, the “Black Pattl,” a chance to show her powerful soprano voice in operatic selec- tioms. Mme. Jones is assfsted in this by some carefully cted ‘voices, and the scenes they give are well rendered. Some excellent ‘specialties are introduced in this part.

JUDGE SLABAUGH ITS ORIGINATOR His Jest About Being Short-Changed in Birthdays Brings Bushels of Mail and Unexpected Results, Judge W. W. Slabaugh of the dlstrict bench may go into history as the originator of one of the most unique organizations or fraternities anyone ever heard of. Briefly stated, this organization will be the Quad- rennial club, its members to be those whose birthday was February 20. The judge says he has been lying awake nights planning how to get even with a fate that divides his birthdays by four and at the beginning of this century skipped him altogether. Now he prcposes to organize his fellow unfortunates and sister unfortunates, have a monster gathering and celebration in 1904 as partial atonement for what has been lost during these last seven years. The judge has not gone into this for glory, but, to tell the truth, for protection. Though now in the prime of life, he has had but eleven birthdays, whereas his 12-year-old son has had a dozen. The boy has found this out and, there Is precedence for belleving that ‘“‘the child may be father to the man,” has de- veloped an inclination to run the do- mestic ranch by right of seniority. The judge cannot meet the argument, and, per- celving that the older they grow, the greater will be the boy's majority in birth- days, has acted on the theory that “in union thiere is strength.’” Press Gives Him a Boost. Some weeks ago he mentioned his troubles to a party of friends and said be guessed he would have to bring abouf a national changed as he has. One of the friends, a New Yorker, gave the idea to the New York Herald, using the judge’s name, and a story was printed in serious vein Feb. ruary 8. The result has appalled the judge.
