i I i | - RIVER IS OMAHA'S GREATEST ASSET $. A. Thompson, Secretary of Na- tional River Congress, Urges Stream Be Kept Open, TALKS TO KNIFE AND FORK CLUB 8. A. Thompson of Washington, D. C., secretary and treasurer of the National Rivers and Harbors con- gress, believes that Omaha’s greatest and least appreciated asset is the Missouri river as a potential water- way leading out to the great wide world of trade. Mr. Thompson addressed the Knife and Fork club last evening on the general subject of river trans- portation and to stimulate local in- terest in the development of the river, “Unless you people here develop the _river you will be at a hovelosa disadvan- tare 'n competition with other waterway centers for business when the possibilities Of e ranuma canal are considered,’ stated this expert This river and harbor proponent be- Heves Colonel Deakyne of the govern- ment engineering staff has a vindictive pite inst the Missouri and he is of the firm opinion that the railiroads have been exercising a “pernicious activity” n trying to thwart the progress of river flevelopment. Assistance to Rallronds. “Pxperience has shown that river de- welopment has resulted in increased busi- ness for the railroads who haul the bulk of the finished products, the boats getting in large part the bulky materials. River traffic really helps the rallroads,” added ¥ n. He dredicted that {f Omaha should ever abandon Its efforts to make the river navigable the next thing to happen would be that the raliroads would ask that the stream be declared unnavigable and higher rates might follow. Hhe urges Omahans to maintain their position. Referring to Kansas City, he men- tioned that the millers of that city during year were placed on ah the millers of Minneapolls boat lines leading from to Norfolk, Newport Newa Peortsmouth.

One has very aptly put it by saying that God can reach any man or womon whethér they live in a hovel or a palace, no matter whether they are rich of por, learned or flliterate, whito or black God asks, requires and demands of every man and every woman that has a mind to know right from wrong, heat trom cold, black from white—God re- quires and demands of every man and overy woman that has a mird to know, and a consclence and ability to under- stand=He requires and demands of you three thinge. First: A willing mind to know Christ, and a determination to forsake every known sin. “If there be first & willing mind it is adapted according to what man hath and not according to what he hath not.” A sinner has no willing mind; a Chris- tian has And has submitted it to God and although God is infinite, God cannot save you if you are not willing to forsake your sins, and if you will not forsake them. God Himself can't e you. ‘Thera are not angels enough in heaven, my friend, to make a man do right if he doesn’t want to do right. Follow the Light ay You See It You have to adopt this principle. that as God gives you light you will follow it, and ns He gives you more light vou will follow that, but so far as you know and understand now you are ready to forsake every sin, and as God gives you more light to show other things in your life wrong, you will forsake them. And weo will not be judged mocording to comparisons between ourselves, but each according to his faith. That {s the first thing. Boocondly: A desire to know thé truth in order that you might obey the truth, The condemnation which will fall upon multitudes in the day of judgment will be the knowledge that you knew what to do but would not, One of the most cursed emotions that stirs & man's heart is a selfish desire for knowleége to show off, but a derire tor knowledge in order that you might do, a deatre for knowledge In order that you imight develop character—a longing to know fn order that yen might do what God wants you to do, a hungering and thitsting after the knowledse of what God wants you to do In order that you {might do it Is commendable. 1 desplse & man who waits to see what | ! to God desires im to do and then dos the opposite and rails and snecrs at God and says he doosn't beliave the Bible s the woid of God.

Now, urtll God gives you mare lght, use what you have and don't growl about God not givirg you more light when you don't use what light you have.

TR Life Founded on Falth, In your day or mine we hear them ray, “take nothing on trust; I find out everything myself,” and they consider people of falth weak-brained, over-credu- lous souls, that never use the reason God wives them. But to the reasonable, faith, bellef, the acceptance of ftruth on the authority of others, is the basis of our judgment, our conclusions, our soning. I hold a ma: who ylelds to God's will uses his reason, and that & man who does not yleld does not use his reason. You can't conviet & man of a crime and you can't liberate him on a charge, ex- cept on the testimony of others. Our business system, everything, is bullt on faith, You can’t plant a seed without faith. You can’t run a farm without faith. You can't do it, I have never been in Rome, but I can tell you of fita streets, of the Coliseum, of 8t. Peter's, on the testimony of others. I have never been in Egypt, but I can tell you of its pyramids, of the river Nile, | and the sphinx on others. I would be a fool to atand up here and say that I didn't belleve it because I have never seen it. You can't turn aroufd that you are not bound to be- lieve the testimony of others. You cam't do it I aldn't live in the days of Jesus and of the aposties, but I belleve and I ne- cept the gospel as suthentic history, on the testimony of others. 1 read in the newspapers of trouble in Mexico. How do I know? I haven't heard a shot. I belleve on the testimony of others. Don't you see? The doctor tells me, “You have pneu- monis, BIL" and I belleve him. The chemlst tells me that two gases combine In water and I belleve him, The Bible tells me Jesus Christ died on the cross. I belleve it. It tells me He resurrected from the dead. I belleve it It tells me there s a heaven and hell. T belleve |t. It tells me If I repent T will be saved. I believe it. I would be a fool not to, and #0 afe you. So T must believe on the authority of others or cease to exist. Now, every man and every woman has & perverted will, That is every sinner. You act your will to please yoursell. You do things because it pleases you to do them. It may not please you to get drunk, or to lie, or to steal, or to swear, or to bn viclous, but you ere set only to plesse yourself. If you want to know If Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Bible the word of God, try It and see If you aren't made the kind of man God says He will. Do what it says. -Cominence to obey God.

A minister at arted a revival, Néw Haven, Conn., In the city was a doc- tor, an infidel, and he had forty-two young men in an infidel club. The in- fidel finally attended the meetings be- cause of their “moral” effects and was eventually converted, along with his fel- low men who had been of the same belief. Infidels make me sick.

Crawford, well known young man of Omaha, residing at 318 North Séven- teenth street, added his words of praise to the long list of statements from peo- ple who have tested Tanlac and have been greatly benefited by the “Master Medicine.” In describing his case Mr. Crawford was very enthusiastic about the results obtained after so many things had failed to even give him tem- porary relief. This is what he had to say regarding his case: “I first read of Tanlac, and after hear- ing so many people speak of the wonder- ful results they had obtained through its use, decided that there must be some- thing to the medicine. I can safely suy that I had tried most everything I ever heard of in hopes of getting some relief. My kidneys were in a terrible condition, and my stomach constantly gave mo trouble. After eating 1 would suffer for | hours with a paln in my stomach, gas forming almost jmmediately after eat- ing. 1 had severe pains in my back, and one physician told me that my whols | trouble was an affection of the kidneys He also said that my stomach troubls and the headaches I often had were due to it. Well, all I want to say s, thers is nothing Wke Tanlac, and even thousgh I have taken this medicine only a week, T feel like I am the healthiest and hap- plest man in Omaha today. All I could say to anyone is, try it Many people are just as warm in their praise for Tanlac as Mr. Crawford.
