THE OMAH DAILY BEE: MONDAY SEPTEMBER 14, 1903 LIFE TRUE TEST OF LOVE Deeds of Ohristian Only Standard of Meas- ,urement, Says Rev. A. 8 0, Olark URGES DUTY OF MISSIONARY WORK Minister Dwells Upon Obligation R ing on Church go Spread Gospel Throughont RBenighted H N thendom. Tn Lows Avenue Presbyterian church Rev. A. 8 & Clark delivered a sermon on the command to spread the gospel to the unknowing. He began the lesson with the command from Matthew, wherein Jesus, the Savior, commands His disciples to go out into the world and teach ““The words of the text are the last wish of our Lord, and it seems to me His last wish should be the first desire of His dis- cipler.’” Rev. Mr, Clark expiained that here in Bethany the Savior first made clear to the aposties the life and dutles before them. who had thought of a temporal kingdom, and ended with the command quoted. “A child of Goi and a disciple of Jesus eannot afford to pass by such words: he disregards them At the very perfl of his #oul. Why should we spend our time, why give onr money, why devote our energies to a people far away? Why separate friends and send them to people of a difterent race? Are they not now God- fearing and happy In their own way? Are not people who bear these races on their minds fanatics? I think our text will be an answer to all these questions. Enough for the loyal diseiple fs the Lord's com- mand, Life Test of Love. “The only practical test of a man's love 1a his 1ife; the lover's proof and test fa his outer life; what he does for the one who 1s loved. Christ puts the test, saying: you love Me, keep My commandments. The words of the text do mnot alone, think, constitute the last, but the great- est of the Lord’s commandments, for on it depends the result of Christ's sufferings. “Paul sald, ‘Tow are they to believe if they have not heard? How hear if not preached? How preach unless they be sent? On this lies the whole motive for the missionary movement. If Christ's com- mand does not move ux, the condition of the world—if we have heart—should move us. ““The condition s appalling; there are, it in estimated, 1,600,000,000 people In the world, and of these, 500,000,000 are nominally Christian. The Lord alone knows how many of these are real Christiaps. The other 1100000000 have at least erroneous fdeas of God. If they are not athelsts, as the literal translation of Paul's word Is, they are at least without hope in this world. Pessimism is their philosophy. Thelr whole idea Is to placate God, who needs no placating. Sin rages rampant among them; sickness and suffering are on every hand; the women are enslaved, and it Is a shame to speak openly of the things that are done in Hindoostan in the name of religion. He that loveth not the brethren whom he hath seen, how can he love God. whom he hath not seen? The burden of Christlanizing rests upon us to- day as it has never rested before, for the church has ablilities for spreading the gospel such as it never possessed before. THINKS UNION MAY QUELL TURK. Rev. D. K. Tindall Sees Possib America Suppressing Sult The possibility that the TUnited States may be the agent in compelling Turkey to cast aside its barbarous ways and follow the wake of civilization was suggested by Rev, D, K. Tindall yesterday morning in his sermon at Trinity Methodist ohureh, His subject was ‘“The 8 Fold," and he found It witheui limit, with- out denominational lines and unhemmed by mere forms of worship. His reference to the Turkish problem was with an accent ©of sadness and regret. “But who knows but that the eve of a great regeneration In the land of Moham- med Is at hand?’ asked the preacher, s it not falr to surmise In the light of past events that the United States may be the power that will carry enlighten- ment into this bloody land and force the Turks to observe the precepts of Christian conduct. Perhaps it may be our forces at Beyroot that may drive the opening wedge. Stranger things have happened and of late years our country has seemed to be the leader m all great movements for the emancipation of the lives and souls of the oppressed, the world over. “As it was sald of old that all roads lead to Rome, so do 1 say tha’ all right- eous roads lead to heaven, rigardless of denominations and mere formality. It is nothing less than absurd to say ‘my coun- try," ‘my church,' ‘my hea ,' for these things are shared In common and belong 1o all alike. We are one great family and whosoever of us follows Christ as best he can is on the road to the eternal city. Religion does not mean merely to es- cape hell and fo get to heaven. It means to do all the good you can, to perform as many acts and say as many kind words, ‘The religion that is simply to gain heaven and keep from hell is the meanest reli- glon of all. And heaven is not gained in that way. It is earned by acts and words of the right kind and no other method will work. “It Is & great mistake to suppose that any particular sect has a monopoly on this or that virtue. The Methodist church claims to be a holiness church, but so do all others and all that have Christ for a head are right because holiness is nothing more or less than right relations with God and with humanity. It lies in practice and not in speech.” APPRECIATION AND AFFECTION, Such s Love, Says Prof. Kimball Hoyt, “And theu shalt love the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength.” This was the text from which Prof. Charles Kimball Hoyt of the English department of Bellevue college preached yesterday In the Kountse Memorial church, The theme s the first commandment, the heart of the old and new testaments, on which Prof. Hoyt spoke as follows “This commandment's meaning is not tully apprehended, to be comprehended only in distant times. It is not a rhetorical piling up.of words, but a divine analysis of love—God's nature and normal human nature. Not an authoritative command, but & revelation of the nature of things.

Kiesel of Princeton, il OFFICIALS AND PASS SEEKERS d Men Skilled ng Nnisance They Say on the Increase. 1 course [ and Become in Rallroad passenger officials complain that instead of abating the pass-seeking disease 1s gradually attaining larger proportions. And they even often laugh at some of the experiences which they have with the peo- ple who ply this graft, and some officials have been found who would even forego | the pleasure and distinction of being called modest by admitting their ekill in dealing with this class of inveterates A local pas- senger official was discussing this prevall- ing nuisance, as he termed it, and the skill | and diplomacy of some of his colleagues the other day when a chance for a demon- stration bobbed up. “There, look there,” he said quickly, as| two gentlemen with a rural tinge hove in | sight of his desk and reaned on the ralling, which is the official's bulwark; ‘“‘there are| two fellows now who have come to ask for transportation and they have absolutely no clalm on it or this road. They are school teachers out in the state somewhere and for the life of me I can't see why they have the nerve to ask for transportation.” Sure enough the officlal was right. The two gentiemen had come to “stick” the road for passes and they were school teach- ers, too. “Is Mr., —- in," presently inquired one of a clerk standing near, who accidentally looked toward the visitors. “Yes, but he's very busy just now; is there anything I can do for youT' replied the well-trained clerk, “Well, no, I—er—J— gues:s no ejaculated one of the visitors, like mighty well to see Mr. —. The clerk then stepped into the official's office and broke it to him. Instead of hav- ing the two sent in to him the diplomatic official, violating all precedent, came out of his office to see the men who had come to “stand him y Sach a greeting! One would have thought the offictal had just had the extreme good fortune of meeting two long-lost brothers from the ostensible cordality he displayed in welcoming the gentlemen to the outside of the office. After sparring for an open- ing for about flve minutes the pass-scekers found themselves left standing, with smil- | ing faces and warm hearts, but empty hands, The adroit official had filled them full of that tickling commodity known in | the twentieth century parlance as ‘“hot air,”" and they didn't even get to the place | of “striking” him for the passes until he suddenly called away by one of his| wise assistants, Not many weeks ago a similar experience happened in the same passenger depart-| ment.

CHAFFEE AND WADE BOTH WERE IN IT per Who Falls Down Stairs Indig. that Suck s Way, ot nantly Expl . Merely His Desce “One of the notable regiments of the United States army,” said General 8. 8. Sumner at the Iler Grand last evening, “is the Sixth cavalry. I do not say this from the fact that 1 had the honor of at one time being its commander, but because of its record during and since the civil war. It was created during the early part of the civil war, and Major General A. R. Chaffee enlisted In it as a private soldie General James B. Wade began his military career at the organization of the regiment as a lleutenant. He was a son of Senator Ben Wade of Ohlo. The regiment rendered the most vallent service in the Potomac army during the civil war and was in most of the notable battles in which that army participated. It miso rendered splendid service In Texas against the Commanche Indians at the close of the war, and later against the southern Cheyennes on the Miles expedition In 1874-6 and still later against the Apaches in Arizona. It was the only United States cavalry regiment that participated In the campalgn in China and has since rendered valued service in the Philippines. I think that Generals Chaffee and Wade are the only old officers of the regiment who are now in active service. All the rest are dead or on the retired list.” “I have seen very little drunkenness in Omahia since here,”” remarked B. G. Bau- melster of McKeesport, Pa., at the Murray last evening. “That reminds me of an old soak that lived fn Pittsburg many vears ago. He was always just so full, and he indignantly wpurncd the imputation that he ever got drunk. One day he fell down the steps of the old Monongahela house when in his cups, and it was thought for a while that he was seriously hurt, if not killed. A couple of friends went to his rescue and picked him up. He was con- scious all right enough, but was indignant because one of them asked him if he was hurt. No, 1 ain't hurt,’ he replied. ‘But didn’t you fall down stairs? “‘No I didn't fall down stairs, you fool, I always come down stairs.’ " “Over in our part of the world,"” con- tinued Mr. Baumeister, “is the Yloughge- heny river, and the name of the stream has always been a matter of interest and query to visitors of that section. The tradition goes that the river was named from an expression a hunter got off a hundred or 80 years ago, when that section of western | Pennsylvania was the haunt of Indians. The hunter had been chased by a party of Old Cornstalks' tribe of scalp hunters, and he managed to secrete himself down In the timber along this stream. One of the Indians soon found his hiding plaee and lald for him. Every time he would poke his head out from behind the tree the In- dian would fire at him and pression something like 'Yiough'. The hun- ter bided his time and poked his hat out from the tree, and as the Indlan came out from cover to get a shot at him, the hun- ter, who was a crack shot, got the Indian and sent him tumbling down into the river. As the Indian was rolling down the bank the hunter called out: ‘Now you darned skunk Yiough again will ye? 8o the river was ever after called the Yioughgeheny.” “I see that a local balloonist came very near getting his everlasting through the failure of the big cannon going off at the proper time,” #aid Dan Haley, & Kansas City traveling man, Saturday eyening, “His accident recalls a funny thing that happened a few years ago at Barnum & Balley's circus.

Fe is nom- inated for congress by a party lopelessly In the minority in the district, but his opponent, a banker, decamps just before the election, a heavy defaulter, and the man who was put up as a joke is elected. The villain of the plece is merely a rafl- road promoter, who wants the congress- man’s support, and who, safe in the pros- pect of the banker's election, wins the punkin husker's gitl away from him, and as a mere incident, borows her money. A little subplot “of th play involves the white caps and other features of rural Indiana life; Tts working out is along the most natural lines, the situations being all easy, and not & clitfiax strained for. Horace Newman, Who is' called upon to enact Jim Daniels, the punkin husker who eventually finds Himself, is a capable actor, and gives a”datistying and Intelli- gent personalty to the'part.
