The church membership has grown in the six years from 114 to 213 members.

In the membership record and the Increase in the contributions of the congregation td®church work could be seen an evidence of growth, which he trusted would be increased.

Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace and the God of love and peace shall be with Rev. Mr. Foster recalled that shortly after becoming pastor he had defined his position along certain lines, and had con- tinued along them. Continuing, he said in part: Opinion is Verified. ““The opinion I then expressed has been confirmed by the past six years of preach- ing, that the gospel would never lose its power over the heart of man, and that it s the only power which can change the hearts of men. 1 have seen men bern into the kingdom through it, just as Saul, the persecutor, was changed Into Paul the preacher, and know that the revealed truth, which reveals to us the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, 1s the only power In the ual- verse which can make such changes. I have tried to preach to you a gospel of hope, for there is no gospel of despair for the Christlan; he who believes in Christ can but hope, and 1 have tried to teach youthfulness, pointing to Jesus Christ as An example, and the gospel of self-sacri- fice and of helpfulness. We should pray for the kingdom of heaven on earth, for no man can go to heaven who has not wome heaven here. I believe that Christ- fans are the light of the world and the salt ©Of the earth, and that they should let thelr unt.:uu &nd carry the salt where it is ““The 1 of Christ |s the only remedy for the drink evil and the soclal evil and 8l other 4, for the gospel Is the only thing which can take selfishness out of the world. I do not say that it glways does so, but until through it every man loves his God with all his heart, and all his mind, and all his soul, and his neighbor as him- melf, these evils will not cease. I have not been 8o prominent as others in the various reform movements, though I bid them and the men In them God-speed, but my earnest conviction is that only by the true con- wversion of the individual can true reform bo accomplished. This man may vote right according to the first reformer, and that man may be right on the drink evil ac- cording to the second reformer, and so with others, but 4t will not e all right until each one recelves the gospel of Christ in his heart. It is my bellef that one day the drink evil, and the social eyil, and all other evils will be put down, for there {s a con- stant conflict between them and the gospel, and to say otherwise would be to say the devil was the more powerful. I care not ®0 much for organizations for righteous- ness as for the righteousness of the indi- vidual, and my work shall continue to be our grand marching order to go into all the world and preach the gospel.” NEW PASTOR AT GRACE LUTHERAN, Rev.

The char- acteristic of modern Christianity is its humanitarfanism. In the old days the tendency was to dash their heads against the human mystery and majesty of God. The Christlanity of today is the study of human nature, feeling and mind. How do our neighbors live, think and love? A better motive actuates the writing of blog- raphles today. They get at the heart and soul of the man of whom they write, “Let us seek to find the reason that the non-church goer absents himself from church and why he sneers at religlon. It is the age of the search for facts, the bet- terment of soclal conditions. Man is more interesting today than the study of bugs or splders, his vocations, his thoughts, am- bitions, prejudices, be he rich or poor, the study of the brothel, the saloon, politics, control of political bodies and of men and their action. These are only a few of the studles of today. Fiction is the study of those elements of human life we seek to know. All things indicate the enormous appetite for knowledge of thy neighbor. Who is he? No man is higher than his natural level. The keynote of religion today is human interest. It affects reli- glon, sympathy, justice, love and human rights, that 1 may know myself better by knowing him. “New things have arisen since the days of Jesus Christ. Even it we go back to the pentecostal church at Jerusalem we find the keynote then was love and broth- erhood. We do not even there find that outreaching love for one another, but rather love for one another. There s an- other and more farreaching love than that in the cultivation of a Christian virtue. Great though Paul was, he felt that he must work in order that his own salvation might be assured. Was that the love of man for man or the culmination of a vir- tue consummated by the Master? “In the Reformation there was a cold sternness and lack of human interest. To- day we are reveling in a New Christianity. 1t is a new Christ born in these modern years. It is a new era in human history. It ‘is Christ's spirit that prevalls today, not St. Peter's. This is a day of human Interest; it is evidenced in the efforts to amellorate and improve the industrial wonditions, endowing educationa! move- ments, missionary philanthropy, the labor. atory to cure human disease and allevia hyman syffering. It Is the eager zeal of Christlan workers for the betterment of thy nelghbor. There is a pathetic and noble humanitarianism in the Salvation Army, and the Volunteers. They say ‘dear man,’ not ‘hopeless sinner.’ It is not the spirit of evolution but the great and grow- ing spirit of love of man for man. The wideness of God's love and mercy 1s boundless as the seas. The spirit of the new Christianity is the higher life of man. The time has come when we must adjust ourselves to this new, reorganized Chris- tlanity. What can I do to serve it and make it more holy?" e CIVILIZATION AND THE CHOCTAWS, What Misslonary Kin s of Con tlons in Western Oklahoma. By special request of Pastor Thomas An- derson of Calvary Baptist church, located at the corner of Twenty-fifth and Hamil- ton streets, F. L. King, who has been act- ing as a missionary under the direction ot the American Baptist Home Mission clety of New York, among the Arapahoe Indians of western Oklahoma for the past five years, lectured to the congregation. The lecture was upon the present status of the tribes in the Oklahoma country and especially upon what are known as the blanket Indlans. Mr. King devoted the greater part of his time to speaking of the change of condi- tions spiritually among the red men, but 80 related many incidents of Indian lite and character which were very instructive to his hearers. The Arapahoes in the dis- trict where Mr. King has been laboring are worshipers of the sun, the earth and fire. These are the principal objects of spiritual adoration, but many minor ob- Jects are included in thelr category of gods. The speaker expressed the opinion that in the fleld where he has been working, and he thinks that & great deal of good may be accomplished by efforts made in the right direction. He believes that all the tribes are capable of being clivilized and christianized if the proper steps are taken. Mr. King s at present the guest of Dr. Riordan. He will remain in the city a few days, and from here he goes to Carroll, Neb., where he will visit his mother for & time, and later visit some of his former lege chums in Ohlo hefore returning to the fleld of his labors. ————— Tell This te Your Wife, Electric Bitters cure female complaints, surely and fely; dispel headaches, back- aches, nervousness or no pay.

For fur- address The International Construction company and the Unlon Construction company have contracts with the rallroad company under which they are to turn the entire road over to it, ready for the equipment, which the rallroad company wiil itself put on. The International company has contracts for 1,075 and the Union company for 420 miles, and the entlre financing of them, which has now been accomplished, is in fact the financing of the road. Important Traflc Agreement. Of almost, if not quite, as much impor- tance as the above was a traffic contract made by Messrs. Stillwell and Dickinson with the Hamburg American Steamship line. Mr. Ballin, the director general of the company, met them in London and the contract calls for a monthly service at the start from Port Stillwell, the western and tidewater terminus of the road on the gulf of California, in Mexico, the service to be Increased as traffic demands. The combination of the Orlent road and the Hamburg line will be as near globe circling In its operation as exists today, or is probable for some time to come. The latter company now operates a line of ships from Hamburg to Ceylon, Calcutta, and Japanese and Chinese ports, and when its contract with the Orient goes into effect will extend its service to Australia and other southern Pacific ports, to the Hawailan jslands, and Port Stillwell. A line from Kansas City to New York—the Wabash and Gould lines are the eastern connections of the Orient road—completes the circle. The Hamburg company has 900 agencies in Europe which will hereafter be also working for the Orient road. Progress of New Road. Considerable progress has already been made, Mr. Dickinson gaid, in the construc- tion of the road, over 1,200 miles of the right of way having already been pur- chased, and 800 miles, or one half of the whole road, having been graded. The largest part of the remainder will be com- pleted within eighteen months and the en- tire road will be finished within a year thereafter. There are a number of short tunnels in the Slerra Madre mountains in entting which electric plants, operated by water power from the mountain streams, will be used. It is expected the same plants will later be used in mines, the operation of which the new road will make possible. Compared with other roads the expense of tunneling will be small, not being over $1,000,000 on the whole road. In three places, covering a distance of 3% miles, from Witchita, from Chthuahua, and from Port Stillwell, the road is already in operation. A study of the route and points on the Orient road will be a surprise to those not very well posted on geography or who have not seen maps of it. The line from Kansas City to Port Stillwell will be 50 miles shorter than existing lines from Kansas City to S8an Francisco, Port Stillwell being shown to be, by a lne drawn north and south through the United States, 200 miles east of Salt Lake City. It is between 1,300 and 1,400 miles from San Francisco ta Port Stillwell, which facts show conclusively, in Mr. Dickinson's opinion, udvantages of the new road in the matter of attracting and controlling trafic between the United States and the west coast of Mexico and South America, Australla New Zealand, Japan, China and the far east. The Orient will also, by its connections at Kansas City with the Gould lines and at Chihuahua with the Mexican Central, have the shortest line from Chicago to the City of Mexico. The line from Kansas City to Port Still- well will run southwesterly in a very direct line, and will be about 1,600 miles long. No Improvements to Annex. ‘While abroad Mr. Dickinson also visited Amsterdam, a number of the stockholders of the Orient road living In Holland, and also Antwerp and Paris. But neither in England or elsewhere did he notice any im- provements In operation which might profitably be adopted by American roads, nor does he think that the American sy: tem could, for example, be successtully introduced in England. On local railroad affairs Mr. Dickinson he sald, know the points in the case be- tween the Union Pacific and Great Western roads, which was decided by Judge Munger last week, but inasmuch as the Union Pa- cific had for years invited all roads to u: its bridge, and had stood as an open door, he did not see how it could now success- fully take such a very different position. If the Great Western was willing to “pay the price,” it could not, he thought, be prevented from using the bridge, and the rates, otherwise the courts would again interfere, must be the same as those charged other roads. Mr. Dickinson will remain in Omaha sev- eral days. His daughter, Mrs. Lyman, who accompanied him on his trip, stopped over in New York City, but will be home this week.

The Sunday business at both Lake Man- awa and Courtland Beach was up to the high standard these two resorts have main- tained whenever the weather permitted At Courtland Beach a long Ust of attrac- severe cutting of L. Orleaver, living at 1011 Capitol avenue, occurred at the corner of Ninth and Douglas streets about 7 o'clock last night. The man who sustained the injuries and A..Fercot, both Frenchmen, have been triends for several years, but two or three days ago some difficulty arose between them which culminated last night in a fight. The two men were standing in front of Emil Gall's saloon. when the trouble started. Orleaver struck Fercot a stinging blow in the face, and when Fercot recov- ered he went at his assailant with a knife in his hand. He plunged the weapon again and again Into the body of Orleaver. In all elght wounds were inflicted, two in the back, one of which was about two and a half inches in depth; three in the left arm, & gash two inches long In the left cheek, a slight cut over the ribs in the left side and a deep wound in the left side of the stomach. It required almost two hours for Police Surgeon Bchleier to dress the wounds and sew them up. The fight started in the street, but when it ended both of the men were inside the saloon of Emil Gall. Officer Maloney, who was oft duty at the time, happened to be driving by at the time. He noticed the smgller of the men, Fercot, running up Douglas street, and as he was covered with blood from the blow he had received in the face, the officer jumped out and stopped him. The two returned to the saloon, where Orleaver was found In the rear room and both of the belligerents were taken to the station. Fercot was charged with assault with in- tent to kill, but Orleaver says he will not prosecute him as they ‘are friends, and he thinks he is as much to blame as the man who cut him. After Orleaver's wounds were dressed he was' assigned to a cell. Rammelo Girllemius and Stephano Col- ombo were occupying a room at 203 South Ninth street yesterday evening. Colombo had a purse which was lying upon a stand in the room and which contained $20 in cash. He asserts that he feft the apart- ment for a short ti and when he re- turped $7.90 was miséliig from the pocket- book. He promptly acétised his friend of tak- ing the money and' the dccusation as promptly led to a fight. When the two men were brought to the station fn the patrol wagon they looked eonsfderably the worse for their encounter, but Girllemfus had slightly the worse battered visage of the two. An attempt was made to place Co- lombo in & cell, but he rebelled and before he could be quieted down it was found nec- essary to adfust the stralght-jacket. He was sald to be suffering from an attack of delirfum tremens.

If it were a reduction asked for, or an inequality claimed, we might do some- thing, but in this case I do not see that we can help you, Mr. Slattery.” The president had spoken in a loud volce %0 that the old man might hear. Slattery did not seem to quite get the import, “Who has the authorlty?" “No one, Even though we should violate our obligations as councilmen, the treas- urer would not lift the taxes.” “I am paralyzed. I can’t work. I have to stay at the poor farm. I am afraid they'll take my property.” “No, I don't think they will. But you should have a guardian appointed to care for your property. “I am afrald he might steal it, 80 many rogues.” “Do you think that the young lawyer who just went out would steal it?" “I don't know,” simply, and with a face that lacked expression, because it no longer had voluntary mobility. The room- ful of men laughed. Then they were silent quickly. They looked as though they would run away if they decently could. “But surely something can be done," murmured the halting voice. “My wite left me the property—all we had, and I can’t bear to lose it. See, here is the will. Some relatives tried to get the property away and I had to fight the case in court.” Will of No Avall, There are “Yes, Mr. Slattery, you have shown me the will before. It doesn't help matters any. We are prohibited from helping you, much as we would like to do." “My wife—but—" and the shivering, shak- ing old man began to cry. Two or three tears dropped on the old timetable with which he had wrapped the will and the other papers. The tears seemed to strike the paper with the fmpact of a raindrop on the pavement, so still was the room. President Zimman tried to learn if part of the rent money, $8 a month, could not be applled regularly on the taxes, thus preventing the property from being listed for delinquency sale. “There is no one on the place half the time,” answered the old man, despairingly. “It's way out on the prairie and run down and the people won't stay." No one sald anything. Slattery lstlessly replaced the will and his court decree for the house and lot in his pocket. After a few minutes he rose and tottered to the door, where he stood for a moment, sway- ing, as though physically uncertain whether to go away or incline once more to the down the hall.
