THE OMAH 1LY BE Y BEPTE Pl MBER CALLS CHURCHES TO AWAKE Bev. J. W. Omley Becs Amazing Leth Among tke C! an Foroes. NONRELIGIOUS EXERCISE DANGER IN Sounds Alarm of Fallure to Cultivate Commuuion with God ahd Polnts Out Some Speeifie Duties. “Fallow ground is ground productive wmcultivated,” sald Rev, J. W. Conle First Baptist church yesterday morning “In the sense used in the bible it is the unused gitts an powers of God's people the butied talents, the hidden possibiliies of the church, he nineteenth century was a most re narkable one in material progress. It was & century of invention and development of the Interfor energy of the world. Steam and electricity played large factors in this unfolding, yet it is well to remember that #team was a possibility and a fact before the existence of man and that electricity $ad been hurling bolts of lightning through the air long before this force was utilized. We simply have discovered and learned Bow to use these forces. The twentleth cen- tury ought to be one of unsurpassed intel- fectual, spiritual and materfal develop- mment, and it will be if we learn how preak up our fallow ground i “The church of ¢ heginning to pse the mighty it has at its command, but 1 your atten tion to certain departments of Christian life whero neglect s likely to be most common and where it is likely to do the most harm. v is Jus energy that wish to call Fleld of Religlous Knowledge, “The first fleld that 1 that of religlous knowledge. As a phil- osopher has sald, knowledge Is power. It 15 also a condition of success in all lines of endeavor. What s true of the wide range of human activity is true also of re- liglon. We cannot hope to accomplish the work given us to do if we are unacquainted with the history and underlying principles of the church. Every growth and perlod of advancement of the cause of religion has been when the rank and file were filled with understanding. Nations decline through ignorance. The bible, 1 am sorry £o say, is an unused book by many pro- Zessed Christians, who carelessly neglect o cull the knowledge and the inspiration wwhich this book holds. There is many pa- ralysis of souls through shocking, awful sgnorance. 1 am afraid to estimate the homes where the bible is never opened and religious literature of any kind forms no part of the family reading. If willful, per- sistent ignorance of this kind is long con- tinued the church will soon lose ity place tn socloty. “The second fleld that I wish to speak of s that of prayer. Jesus was pre-eminently & man of prayer. The heroes of the bible were men of prayer. The conquests of the church and morals have been made by men filled with prayer. Don’t bother about the philosophy or theory of prayer, but con- pern yourself with the fact of prayer. ¥ield of Duty. ““The third fleld is that of duty. Jesus Baid it is more blessed to give than to re- Keive. There is a mighty power in the con- gentration of gifts, and as an example the friumph of the missionary field today may be used. There is a great need of giving right here at home. Churches are dying out in the state—dying out because of wtinginess and because of no other reason. DMigures show that the American people pay @75 times as much each year for liquor and Robacco as they do toward the support of ghe missions. 1 don't wish to criticise those who give, but I do think there is an ‘Immense area of fallow ground in this fleld that might be made to yleld large re- gurns. would speak of is ¥Field of the Charch. *The fourth fleld is the field of the Eburch. ‘Upon this rock I bulld my church,’ sald. Christ, ‘and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it Don't pay attention to those who attack the church, but remember that if the church ‘were removed from the movements of re- form the world would sink to blackness and Tuin. Strong, vigorous, robust churches are | wanted the world over. Stand by the phurch and attend its services. “Lastly, I wish to direct your attention #foward the field of personal endeavor for the sake of others. After all, this is the principle that Is inherent In all good acts &nd which is behind all true Christian con- @uct. The personal touch, the personal help and the personal effort to do well toward ©thers is the great thing to strive for." FAITH, THE CHURCH/OF THE SOUL. eme Moment Bellef En The subject of Rev. H. C. Herring's ser- monat the First Congregntional church yes- terday morning was “Christian Rellef,” and *Bellovers Were Furthermore Added to the Tord.” “Why the word ‘Bellever’ was the name chosen in preferefice to that of ‘disciple’ is Pecnuse a disciple is one who belleves in fruth—in following God, who sent forth His Bon, who died on the cross and rose from the dead, that man might have life ever- | Basting, and who taught the gospel of the eross and that the blood of Christ is the @reatest of human covenants,” sald the minister.

The ages are full of examples of the spirit of belef running against all man- ner of disbellef, and which would rather be the subjects of belief than unbelfef. Man generally holds faster to the belleving spirit than to the superstitious spirit. The disci ples first of all belleved In these supreme things: “That God o loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that man might not perish, but have everlasting life; T am the resurrection and the Life; he that belleveth on me shall have sverlasting life. The life I live in the flesh I live by faith in God The New Carlyle, “as the 1s anothe meht takes one single moment of our lives and exalts it above every other moment by faith in Jesus Christ. He who teaches that the New Tes- tament does not exalt faith teaches wrong- fully. Our faith in Jesus Christ makes us what of good there s fn us. Our first con- sclousness of the belief that Christ is our Savior 1s the most important hour of our llves; was It in the little school house or in the little white church of by-gone days? That w the supreme moment of our lives when we first sald and felt ‘Lord, T belleve,’ It you e: find them the product of a faith in Christ some time, some where implanted there. “Faith in itself has no value, no force. life to stimulate the divine influence along that avenue where the spirit of God comes in, which we must all have before we have Faith has 1ts transforming power in human gotten free from ourselves.” SUPREME Walk Discourses Great Rellglon The Rev. George Edward Walk, rector of St Paul's church, Council Bluffs, cupled the pulpit at Trinity cathedral yes- terday and dellvered a sermon on Chris- tianity, taking for his text the first four verses of the tenth chapter of Isalah. ‘Arise, shine, for thy light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For behold, darkness ehall cover the earth, and gross darkness, the people; but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. Lift up thine eyes round about and see.' Rev. Mr. Walk dwelt upon explanations of the six great bellefs in thelr teachings and of the Christian, he said: “This religlon teaches that heaven is an approach to the infinite and that hell is the retrocession from it. Christ does not teach that man Is utterly bad—totally de- praved—but it is made possible through the grace of God, to ascend to a moral and spiritual plane, where kindness takes the place of cruelty and happiness of misery, ice s the parent source of misery natlonal, domestic, economical and per- sonal, tue, 1ts opposite, is all happiness, and r‘wler is the seat of both vice and virtue WPhe power to suppress vice, is not in man, but rests entirely with God. “All the religlous world has had its birth In the east. The west has been great in statesmanship, literature and arts, and all this helps to muke man contented. All religions have originated with the descend- ants of Shem; aven Christ, Himself, de- scended from Shem, and he 1s called Lord of Lords, and King of XKings. “God had his missionaries in all the ages and among all the people of the earth. In some form, the pre-incarnated Son of God has been contemporary with all the ages, a8 the angel of the covenant, the burning bush, the pillar of cloud and fire, for the ages have not been left in total dark: ness, * “Christianity is the grand culmination of a gerles of religlons from beginning, to the present day. All that is greatest and best in the anclent and modern religions may be traced to the book of God, or the God of Books. God is the author of truth, and that which is truth in one, is truth in all. In comparison with the religlon of Christ, all others are as mole-hills, for Christ's challenge is, ‘The tree is to be judged by its fruits. “Budda taught that all human woes come trom the desire for existence; that the struggle of every life, should be the mys- terfous Nirvana, that state when all de- sires cease and all passion dies. Nirvana means extinetion, and this s absolutely the fundamental doctrine of a certain sys- tem over which a few of our American would-be-wise are going crazy. “Christ teaches that those who oppose the gratification of any natural appetite within the limit of the law of God, are wise above what s written and sp array themselves against God himself. “Confucius taught a supreme contempt for women, one theory bging that one boy was worth ten girls, and that women were to be subjugated to the desires of their parents, husbands and brothers. He gave reasons for granting divorce, the last one being, when the wife talked too much. “All the founders of these religions wex great men, yet Christ was not a phil. anthropist, and his religlon is the very foundation of philantaropy. He buflt no refuge, for the neglected, yet said: ‘Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.' “The boy is now living, who will see a supreme court of the world, with England, France, Germany and all the civ- ilized nations, as contestants at i bar for the rights of man, the navies converted into missionary ships and the armies doing police duty among the remnant of sav. ages and heathen not yet under the power of the gospel CHRISTIAN FAITH, Rev.

Many well wishes were expressed for the departing In the prayers of the congregation “I thank those who have helped In the work by their presence and by their pray- ers,” sald the retiring preacher. “Since we first started to preach holiness and staked down our tent at Fifteenth and Davenport streets, 2500 souls have been saved.

STRIKES AND RAIN SERIOUS OBSTACLES Despite All Sethacks, However, Om Will Close Year with Additions to Its LI Big Structures, Immense t ot Of the buildings started in Omaha this summer at the close of the labor differ- ences all but two will be completed or en- closed before cold weather puts a partiul stop to the construction, and for these two ~the Auditorfum and the street railway power house—those most interested promise a roof and walls complete. The summer, putting aside all disadvantage through late beginnings due to strikes, has been a Aiff- cult bullding season and all work has been much retarded. All completion estimates now made lay stress on “if we have good weather.” While a largs amount of bufld- ing has been going on, yet much that was contemplated has been deferred until next spring. Among this is practically all the church work planned—the First Baptist and First Christian buildings, additions to St. Joseph's hospital and smaller work, the Hayden addition on Douglas street and others. Some bulldings will yet be begun this fall or Is at least contemplated. Bids will be opened Wednesday for construction of the main portion of the Methodist Episcopal hospital and for the operating pavillon. An early start on this work had been intended, but the high price of materfals and the un- settled condition made contractors adverse to figure on so large a building. Architect Thomas R. Kimball has a number of con- tractors figuring on the bullding now. Chalrman Goss of the bullding committee says that the bids are called for at this time because the conference will begin its session In Fremont Wednesday and they wished to be able to report the cost of buflding. While he hopes for a beginning this fall, at least of getting the foundation | in place, he fears that this is not very prob- able. The buflding will be three stories and basement, steel construction and fireproof. The part to be first erected will be only a beginning for a very extensive hospital New Douglas Street Bu ‘Work will be begun this week for the new building, 1405 Douglas street, to replace one of the two which fell in. Fisher & Laurle have drawn the plans for the McCague In- vestment company, and the contract has been let for the west party wall, which is first necessary to protect the Omaha Tea & Coffee company buflding. Contracts for the rest of the bullding will be let as fast as the architects complete the specifica tions. The new bullding is to be three storfes and basement, of white terra cotta and dark buff Roman brick, and in the modern classic style. The windows will be large plate glass, eighteen inches entensidn and all metal. The three storfes will ex- tend to the depth of eighty feet and par- ticular pains have been taken with the lighting. The stairs for the upper floors open on the street, 8o that these floors can be used independently of the store if de- sired. Another extensive improvement begun about September 12 ia the enlargement of Willow Springs brewery. Walter Moise ex- pects this work to cost $70,00 and to be finished this fall or early winter. The tws engine houses, the contract for whick has heen let by the city, are among the con- structions which have yet practically to be begun. The brick contractors for the Auditorium seem to think they are getting along at a tisfactory rate and will come under the wire. The masons have lately been at work on the east end of the bullding, bringing the wall up to the level of the north and south walls. Two of the plers on which rest the big girders which hold up the roof trusses, may have to be par- tially rebullt, as they were injured when one of the interior retaining walls of the basement was washed away by the rains. This will, however, not delay the roofing of the bullding. First Truss Up. “The first truss for the Auditorfum roof, says Mr. Vierling, “has been pulled up,” and he expects to have the ten, with the exception of the proscenfum arch, all up by October 15. In pulling up these trusses it 18 necessary to place one and then place a second as soon as possible, and bolt in the lateral bracing. Then the next pair can be holsted. The greater part of the iron work is on the ground, but aside from the truss raising the iron men will have to work with the masons. Paxton & Vier- ling's contract ends with e placing of the roof supports. Mr. Vierling sees no reason why the roof should not be in place by November 1. All of these things, of course, if the weather is such as not to Interfere too much with the work. The New Telephone exchange bullding has reached such & point that with favorable weather the brick work will be complete in about seven days. There remains now less than the upper half of the third story to bufld. The iron pillars and girders also are in place to this height and only the fron work which supports the gravel roof has yet to be put in. All of the interior partitioning und other finishing s, of course, yet to do. The contractors prom- ised to have the buflding inclosed by Oo- tober 1, but have been hindered by weather conditions. General Manager Lane expects that this stage will be reached a month Jater and hopes to have the new telephone exchange in operation by March 1 The modern switchboard has been complete since July 1, but is stored in Chicago until It can be assembled in the bullding here. The company, says Mr. Lane, hopes to occupy 1ts new Council Blufts exchange by the first of the year, Has Serlous Delays. The street car company has perhaps been the greatest suffersr by reason of weather hindrances and the power house at the lower end of Jackson street, which it hoped to occupy late this fall, is still incomplete. The ground being low, the water has stood constantly in the excava- tion and has to b pumped out almost daily. This in the first place greatly hin- dered the grading work and afterward the driving of piles. The basement walls are of concrete and are being placed by the Gilsonite Construction company of Bt Louis. The west and north basement walls are now finished and about one-half of the east wall is In place. The south end has not been touched, nor has the founda- tlon for the partition. Notwithstanding present conditions, Manager Smith s hope- ful that with good weather, the bullding will be enclosed by New Year The nonarrival of the structural steel and iron has caused another delay. The bulld- ing belng & steel frame structure, these must be placed before any brick work can be begun. This overdue material fs ex- pected to arrive in & short time, and then Rocheford & Gould, the brick contractors will put to work as large & force as pos- sible and as the power house will be only one story high above the cement, it fis possible that they may complete thelr por- tion of the work. Dancing Academy Nearly Done, The brick work on Chamber's dancing academy at Twenty-fifth and Farnam streets, will'be finished In less than & week, 80 that Mr., Chambers expects 10 bhave the bullding enclosed by Oetober 15, and will begin his classes, using the basement until the upper floor of the bullding is mpleted The entire work will be finished about November 1. The carpenters will be able to continue their work. The basement will consist of an auditorium, stage, dressing rooms and banquet room, while the main floor holds the assembly room, 60x80 feet, with a cefling twenty feet high, the foyer and dressing rooms and above these Mr. Chamber's apartments and the balcony for orchestra and spectators. Sixteen venti- lators for hot air are to be placed in the ceiling and cold alr ducts are let in under the side platforms, so that there will be fresh air without cold drafts. The decora- tions will be white and gold. The Chatham apartment-houses on Thir- teenth between Douglas and Dodge streets, will be enclosed in a short time. The brick workers finish Friday and the cornice men Saturday. The timbering for the roof is partially in place and most of the intericr partition joists. Much interlor work will be necessary. ord” Plunkett is erecting one of the largest apartment-houses In the clty here. Lee's New Bullding. The George H. Les company expects to move into its new bufiding on Harney street sometime between the first and fifth of Oc- tober. The structure fs practically com- plete, and the workmen are now engaged in fitting up and finishing with hardwood the office. The company will give up its old location, 1005 Farnam street, and will have three times the room at its new bullding. The big new Adams & Kelly sash and door factory next to the old plant on Nich- olas street, will be finished In seven days. The new machinery will arrive from the east at about that time and will require about thirty days to install. The building which s 65 fee® by 157 will contain no offices except that of the factory superintendent. Bxcavation work Is going on for the new engine house at Eleventh and Jackson streets whenever the sofl is consistent anough to be scooped up. Yancey & Red- man, thg contractors, expeot to have the work finished In three or four days If there is good weather, otherwise they think of negotlating for a marine dredge. The work 8o far accomplished for the wew addition to the Omaha club 13 the removing and cutting away of cement flagging and portico supports and part of the wall of the court in order to make place for founda- tions. The Slosberg double flat at Twentieth and Dodge streets is practically completo on the outside and the plastering is nearly half done, The Midland Glass & Paint company will finish its repairs in about two weeks and will begin moving In its stock and acquiring new. It will occupy the top floor in addi- tion to fts former space and will go In, ac- cording to Manager Judson, heavily for art goods, mirrors and bevel goods. START A LIBRARY FOR BOYS. J. L.

It is the month of Tishri, according to the Jewish calendar, and with today will end the year 566 and the year 5684 will begin. In all the syna- gogues and temples, both orthodox and liberal, the new year will be welcomed with solemn services. Tt is seldom that a Jew is absent from the place of worship during the time pre- ceding thls feast, and whatever changes and modifications in religlous doctrines and practices may be noticeabla in the last fitty years, within the Hebrew fold, the two festivals of the fall season, the “fear- ful days," the new year, Rosh Hashshanah, and the day of atonement, Yom Hak Kip- purin, occurring at an interval of ten days from each other, have retained almost all their spell to stir the Jewish heart to its lowest depths. The ancient rites and tra- ditions of the old law are observed to a letter. Prayers for the whole of mankind, both Jew and Gentile, will be offered tomorrow evening, at sunset, and will be late into the night. Some of the most devout wor- shipers will reach the temples as early as 6 o'clock. Sometimes the services last until the next morning, when the people commence to gather for another mervice. As a day of memorial, today is called Yom Hozikkaron, and as a day of judgment, it fs called Yom Hardin, The day s significant of universal salvation and all prayers will be devoted to that thought Prayers of peace and salvation will be chanted by the cantors, and the cholrs will respond with the fervent “Amen.” God sits in judgment and the faithful pray for blessing for the coming year. Scrolls of Living and Dead. In their bellef, two scrolls are opened before the Lord, the one of the living and the other of the dead. Into these, accord- ing to their works, are recorded the names of men, and they are judged by the Lord's divine wisdom. On this day go forth the decrees that bring life or death, plenty or poverty, drouth or abundance, of rain, peace or war to men and natfons. Originally costly trumpets were used on this occasion at the temple in Jerusalem, and the rude ram's horn was utilized in the poorer quarters, but the latter Is now deemed requisite by the orthodox, though in the liberal churches, an appropriate psalm is sung to the accompanimenf of the trumpet. The trumpets are usually blown by the elders of the congregation who stand before the altar clad in richly ornamented prayer shawls and high caps, and these shrill blasts from the trumpets, proclaim to the prostrate audlence the sign of falth in the last great trumpet, which proclaims the end of death, Satan and all evil. With this fall, the Lord will come unto his own people and will be king of the earth, ruling alone and unrivaled. This blowing of the horn is sald to re- call thie revelations of God on Sinal, It is sometimes construed as an appeal to the hardened sinner, urging him to repent of his evil ways, the broken notes Indicating the contrition that should possess the hum- bled heart. The trumpet in the Jewish language is called a shophar. An old Jewish custom s ‘that the faith- ful are to hunt out a stream of water, or lake, and, knedling by its shores, wit fervent prayers for the healthy an everlasting perpetuation of the human race, even as the fish are perpetuated. Day of Fastin Wednesday has no connection with the New Year's services and will be a day of fasting. It is called the feast of Gedaliah, In memory of the son of Ahlkam, who was left by Nebuchadnezzar as the governor of a poor people to till the soll and care for the vineyards after the best people of Judah had been carried to Babylon in cap- tivity. Gedallah's rule lasted only seven months and at the end of that time he was murdered by Ishmael, fon of Nethanial of the royal family, who craved for su- premacy in Palestine. On Wednesday night the children will gather about thelr mothers’ knees to hear this story so dear in the hearts of the Jews. ) For some days preceding Tishri, and for the first ten days after Rosh Hashshanah, the people eat sparingly and devote théir minds to thoughts of faith and the future, The prayers at home are of equal conse- quence with those offered in the synagogue. October 1, which will be the tenth day of Tishri, will be observed as a day of atone- ment, the most solemn day in the Jewish year.
