1 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE ONDAY, JUNE 29, 1903 MODERN WOODMEN MEMORIAL Rev. B Oombie Bmith Presches Special facing another natlonal anniversary whether prophecy can be transplanted to another hemisphere and another time. We are not so perfect as a nation that we can say that we do not need prophets to point to us the way. There are, indeed, many Eermon to tke Fratumity. who belleve that prophetic vision 18 not S possible in this day. Is the human soul TAKES WORDS OF ISAIAH FOR HIS TEXT [any less able to receive prophetic vision now? I think you will say mo to that Says Man of Character is the One to Protect the Weak and Perpet- the Right—Other Omaha Sermo uate “The model Woodman Is one whose eye is on the horizon, whomse gaze Is resting on future events, whose muscles are al- ways strong, and who against the enemies of soclety is willing to fight,” sald the Rev. E. Comble Smith at the First Metho- dist Episcopal church Sunday mornihg. The occarion was the memorial services held In honor of the Modern Woodmen lodges. The center of the body of the church was reserved for the members of the order, who to a large number attended in & body, the drill teams in upiform. Rev. Smith talked on the religion of the future, and in his sermon he depicted the ideal man as one who lives not for riches, for power or for appetite, but who lives for love for his fellowman and pity and sympathy for the weak. The sermon was on the words of Isalah, spoken at a time when Israel was trying | to perpetuate the constitution. Israel was working on the theory that to do this the country should have modern arms, should make alllances, have vessels of war and an army of defenders and a rebhabilitation ot commerce. The prophet doubted that Israel was working along the right lines. He advised the peo- ple that instead of making alliances they make men and enhance character. If they did this he told them they could laugh at their enemies. Rev. 8mith said the man in the text, who was the hiding place and the refuge of the weak, was the ideal man, and that upon that kind of a man the futyge of a nation depended. He sald that when the storms swept over a country and threatened its government it was the man of character who saved it—the man to whom the weak could turn and be guided into the right. There ore among us, he sald, those who are weak and sinful, and some one must be, who by example, can show these people the way of the right. Evil may come in many forms, he sald, but men can combat it and overcome it if they stand firm, with the example of Jesus to guide them. He advised all men to take an interest in politics and all questions that affected the public good, and if man belfeved that he had to condescend to do this he should remember that Jesus aid. In concluding, Rev. Smith paid a tribute to the Modern Woodmen lodge, and sald that organization was an exemplification of practical Christianity. He told of the g0od the fraternal part of the order had accomplished and of the many persons who had been beneficiar‘es of the order. A special musical program had been pre- pared for the occasion, and this added greatly to the Interest of the service. Last night Rev. Smith lectured on John Wesley. TALKS OF METHODIST CHURCH. Rev. G. H. Mayne Gives Rew: John Wesley's Work. The services at Walnut Hill Methodist Episcopal church yesterday morning were especlally commemorative of the bi-cen- tenary of John Wesley's birth. At the right of the altar was a fine portrait of the founder of Methodism and it was sur- rounded with expressions of Wesley. The musical service composed hymns composed by John and Charles Wesley. Rev, G. H. Mayne, pastor of the church, §8ve an Interesting end Instructive his tory of John Wosley and of the great Wth of the Methodist church since ‘ealey’s time. He sald in part: “Two hundred years ago today John ‘Wesley was born. The tremendous growth of Methodism since his time s the best evidence of the mighty power of the 'man Wesley. Stgictly speaking, Methodism 1s only about 164 year old. It was not Wi ley's purpose originally to found a church. He was a member of the Church of Eng- land, which at that time was rotten to the core. Profanity, intemperance and dis- sipation were the characteristics of the Church of England ecclesiastics. Wesley, seeing this, sought out and concelved a simpler code of faith. When he died his followers numbered 135,000 Today they number 7,069,285 The winning forces of Methodism are its simplicity and the ease with which it can be comprehended by its adherents. It has no meaningless ritual. No amount of philosophy or ritual can take the place of Methodism. Some people are inclined to slur at revivals, I venture to say that most of the members of the Methodist church gave thelr hearts to Jesus Christ at a revival. It is the great church of the middle classes, of the com- mon people. Revivals must never cease, nor must evangellsm In the Methodist ehurch. If they do, some other church will take up the work. The doctrines of the Methodist church never change. We belleve in pure faith and the salvation of every soul. “Calvinism has gone to the wall. Some of the old preachers may have it in thelr creed, but they will not dare preach it from their pulpits. Simplicity of worship is the winning foree of Methodism. There are those who would let down the bars in the line of amusements in the church and among its consistent members, The Cath- oles and Episcopallans stand it for forty days In the year, but the Methodists can @o it for 365 days in the year. There are 37,000 Methodist pulplts in the .United Btates. Every. pulpit has a pastor ana every pastor a pulplt. There are thirty- three times as many Methodists now as there were 100 years ago. At that rate of increase there will be 250,000,000 at the end of this century. \ PATRIOTIC CHURCH SERVICE, Presumably under our clearer gospel light we have not the oceasion for prophecy which was necessary in gospel times. No one can Imagine, however, that gospel can live if from generation to generation there are none to recelve fresh visions of that gospel. Of course we need prophets and of course we have prophets.’’ Dr. Herring then indicated and inspiration of prophecy. of the national prophets of all ag he, “has been a two-fold message; first, national responsibility. This is an un- welcome message and none wish to hear and finally the prophets grow tired of giv- ing their message, and when they cease others see what thelr work has been. There are prophets among us Now pro- claiming this truth with remarkable force, but it strikes me that this is one of the periods when they have grown weary. They are not so numerous as they should be, but, thank God, we still have them. The other vislon is that of prophet who sees in the future the na- tlon's progress. No nation can live and prosper unless it be under the inspiration of a future to which it can look forward. Thus has been our nation which has had so glorious a prospect. “In dealing with prophecy we have the constant use of the two words—oppor- tunist and idealist. The opportunist is he who walts for the bettering of things un- tl the opportunity presents itself; the idealist 18 he who fs always looking for- ward to the future for improvement. The first of these tends all to marrowness and the second is vislonary; the largest and most effectivc man is a blend of these two. It has been the office of the prophets of all gencrations to lead out the people from the path of narrow opportunism and enable them to grasp the needs of the present. 1 would say to all young men: Let them be of those who dream and let them be of those who live in the present, and let them bring their dreams back to vivity their present. e AUTO BUSINESS VERY GOOD Omaha Dealers Supply Heavy Demand from Towns and Tow: the nature ““The burden * sald Dealers in automobiles comment on the rapid increase of sales. There are now, it is estimated, about thirty machines in ac- tual use in Omaha and a considerable num- ber in stock, The first machine ever in Omaha is sald to have been a horseless carriage exhibited at the last’ state fair, held in Douglas county, and three years ago Otto Baysderfer bullt the first ma- chine to be used about the streets. Anothex recent development s the sale of machines to small towns. One local firm has sent in twelve months six gasoline mobiles to Fre- mont, four to Dawson, and others to Sut- ton, McCook, Stromsburg, Plattsmou:h, Lincoln and many other points. Thelr Lemars, Ia., agency has sold in ear thirty-two machines, less than oi..-fourth of these going to towns with paved streets. In speaking of the proposed ordinance regulating the speed of the automobiles, J. J. Deright produced a magaszine in which was complled the accidents during fifteen days of September and October cauged by automobiles and by horses. “You see,” sald he, “that only 4 per cent was caused by the autos. Nine per cent were caused by horses which had been frightened by automobiles, and § per cent by horses which had become’ frightened at other ob- jects, People read of the accidents in Paris and elsewhere in Europe where people are hurt by the machines, but those injured are the persons using the autos, and then usually only when racing at great speed. 8o everyone has an exaggerated idea of the danger to pedestrians from this source, while there is very little. I can, when go- ing twenty miles an hour, stop in twenty feet, and an electric machine can be re- versed instantly and stopped dead. This would be bdd for the machine, but could be done when necessary. A skilled auto- mobilist can guide and turn his vehicle very quickly and exactly and avoid any obstacle or person. I have suggested to the mem- bers of the council that in place of regu- lating the speed they make an examina- tion for efficiency necessary before any per- son be allowed to run an automobile. Tho proposed limit of seven miles in the busi- ness part of the city and twelve miles in the suburbs is not too close, but the pro- posed five miles would have made auto- mobling Impossible if the ordinance was inforced.” Strikes at Their Root.

CREATION BY FIAT OR BY EVOLUTION Frank Heller's Paper at Last Meeting for Season of Philosophical Soctety Asks Many but Anawers Few Questions, Frank Heller yesterday afternoon read an Interesting paper on “Races of Men’ before the last meeting until next October of the Omaha Philosophical soclety. “Man, know thyselt,” said Mr. Heller, 18 a legend which has kept man busy think- ing through all the ages. He then dwelt upon the difference between revelation and Inspiration, the former being from God and the latter from man's own so-called inner consclousness, and from the lgnor- ance of the world and all material things displayed by the anclents he was inclined to belleve that much which was and Is called revelation should be called inspira- tlon. As to the origin of life, sald Mr. Heller, no sane man professes to know anything with any degree of certainty, though as to the existing varlable forms of life more tangible and reasonable conclusions are as- certalnable. Of the two theorfes—one of creation by fiat and the other of evolution —Mr. Heller accepted the latter, as based upon reason and having its source In seci- entific research. The “flat theory,” he con- tended, has constantly been losing ground. But whether man was made for the world or the world was made for man he dld not attempt to answer, though inclining to the bellef that man, at the unknown period of his arrival from an unknown source, found the world here and accommodated himself to the then existing conditions. But whether this was before or after the glacial period is today stmply & matter of conjecture. The Cave Dwellers of Europe and the Mound Builders of North America are supposedly the earliest human beings inhabiting the earth after the subsidence of the torrential streams of the melting glacial period, when the Missouri river extended from bluff to bluff and then, diminishing, formed a channel within the old channel. There are no such valleys, it is stated, outside, the glacial territory. But though we know something of them, we cannot say whether or not they were our remote ancestors. Monogenetic of Polygenetict In discussing whether the human races are monogenetic or polygenetic Mr. Heller sald that either proposition involves inex- plicable conditions and dnsurmountable obstacles, but that the welght of authority favors the monogenetic theory, though it is extremely doubtful, for example, that the Bushman and the anclent Greek sprang from the same source. There s no evi- dence whatever that the dominant races today were ever so low as the Bushmen and Andamins, nor that the later will ever rise from their present condition. Coming down to comparatively recent times, Mr. Heller favored the classification of present races upon language. Doing 8o, the Aryan would come first, the six great branches of which are thé Indic, the Iranie, the Hellenlc, the Italic, the Teutonlc (in- cluding the Slavonic) and the Celtic. The languages of these branches are funda- mentally the same, as are the languages of the Semitic race—that is, of the Hebrews, the old Aramaeans and the Arabs. The Aryan and Semitic languages are entirely different In construction of words and in grammar. A third group of languages is that of the nomadic tribes of northern Asia, used by nomadic people the world over and known as the Turanian. Another classification is based on the hafr, for the hair of the different races varies from the wooly fiber, having its vital channel on the exterior surface, to the straight, tubular filament which covers the heads of the superior races. But a more sclentific and practical class- ification is based, Mr. Heller said, upon the color of the human skin. It is in three primary colors—ruddy, brown and black. The ruddy race includes the Aryans, the Semites and the kindred race of Hamites. The brown race includes the Mongolians, the Polynesian Mongoloids and the Dra- vidians, and the black races include the negroes, the Australlans, Hottentots and Papuans. If these all sprang from a com- mon source, where was thay source? The Egyptians were the only race to come fully equipped with civilized institutions upon history’s stage. What of the others? The Ethioplan of history was not the Ethioplan of today, nor even black In color. And Noah forgot entirely to provide for the Mongolian, for the very good reason that the author of Genesis did not know there were any Mongolians on earth. And so until we have revelation in fact or progress much further in knowledge questions about man and life must go unanswered. —_— Chamberl Stomach and Liver Tablets Better Than Pills. The question has been asked, in what way are Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets superior to pills? Our answer is— They are easler and more pleasent to take, more gentle and mild in thelr action and more reliable, as they can always be de- pended upon. Then they cleanse and invig- orate the stomach and leave the bowsls in a natural condition, while pills are more harsh in effect and thelr use s often fol- lowed by constipation.

It is put on with much attention to detail and’ a conscienti- ous effort to supply the atmosphere, but Is of a different type from the plays hereto- fore given by his company. For this rea- son it struck the audience a little coldly, but this soon wore oft and the efforts of the actors were well rewarded by liberal applause. Mr. Siddons naturally falls into the part of Caleb Swan and makes him just the manly sort of fellow one imagines the original to have been. Cecll Owens s Asa Bice, “and finds the role quite congenial Dell Henderson as Barlow, Carl Caldwell as Hay and John Mylle as Sulke contribute the comedy to the plece, assisted by Miss Carmontelle as Mrs. Hay, and they make it all seem natural and not strained. Dolly Davis comes to the front as Tennessee | Kent, the heroine of the plece, and is given a better opportunity than she has had in the other bills of the season. She Is a clever soubrette and makes much of the role assigned her. Miss Pavey as Nettls Bice shows another side of her abllity, tak- ing the part of an adventuress with as much grace as she has hitherto filled the character of the heroine. The bill will run until after Wednesday night. CAUGHT IN HOTEL CORRIDORS Travelers Tell of Thel in Different Parts of the Country. Observations J. E. Johnson has just returned from a visit to Abllene, Kan., and vicinity. He says: “I have seen wrecks and distress, but the Kaw valley from 40 miles west of Kansas City is the most distressed looking place that exists in the United States. The roadbeds and bridges are washed out with- out limit. Houses, barns, fences, wagons, dead cattle, horses and hogs are to be seen everywhere. In some places cattle, hogs and sheep are stiil lodged in the trees, and it will take months to get the country Into shape again. The bottom lands are covered with drying, oaking mud, and the stench from the rotting and decaying carcases of animals is almost unendurable. There s bound to be no end of suffering in the Kaw valley this fall and winter. A great many farmers have lost everything, and in some instances families have been completely wiped out of existence. The full story of the Kaw valley flood will never be told. It is simply awful and indescribable.” H. C. Green of Miller, Dawson county, Neb., says of affalrs up in that vielnity: “The outlook for oats, wheat and corn never was better In my thirty vears of ex- perfence in that country. The corn is a little backward because of the wet and cold season, but we are going to have a big crop all right. This season feminds me much of the big rainy spell of 1870 or '71. Of course, then we knew nothing of alfalfa and all we tried to ralse was good old corn, and we raised lots of it. But this year is going to beat the record. The first crop of alfalfa has already been cut, and the farmers are getting after the second crop. And hay? ‘We are going to have hay to beat the band. Last year we railsed more than we knew what to do with. This season it will be different. We have already had two inches of rain there this week and it was still raining when I left. There 1s some little fear that it may cause a rotting or molding of the alfalfa now down, but most of the farmers have their alfalfa already in stack.” Jesse Walton of San Francisco is in the city working up an Interest in the approach- ing national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, to be held there in August next. He sald: “The hospitality of San Krancisco ls proverblal and no ex- pense or pains are being spared by the olt- izens to make the encampment one of the best ever held in the United States, Ar- rangements are being made for side ex- cursions to Yosemite, the Big Trees, Sac- ramento and every point of interest in Cal- ifornia at a nominal cost. The city of San Francisco will be most elaborately decor- ated and floral festivals will be the rule, not only at the metropolis of the state, but at Los Angeles, San Diego and every avalil- able point that can be reached by rail from San Francisco in reasonably short trips. The hotels will all give greatly re- duced rates, and ihe Grand Army button | Will be the talisman that will throw open every door of San Francisco in cordial welcome."!

I have been in the county a 800d many years, and while we have had some good crops, we generally haven't had any, but scrawny corn. It is a great range country. The bunch grass is nutritious and 8TOWs In great abundance. Yet domestic cattle, particularly those about the farms and homesteads, do not enjoy it. The range stock eats it with avidity. We get most of our hay for domestic consumption from the canyons, and now it is getting scarce. When the cattle were let range in the can- yons they fertilized the grass roots, as they did the bunch grass divides. These hay resources have been cut away 8o mu.h that some seasons there are hundreds of sections of land that would not herd a dozen cattle.
