PER1LoUs TRIP IN A BOAT.
adventures OF Three Men in the Colorad,
srRipsr Rapids. ..

A remarkable trip was made recently by
Gustaye Schultz! the well known marine and
landscape artist with two young companions,
L. Foster and, John William Keenan,, says
San Diego correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Examiner They left here March %
and have spent the intervening time In
five weeks trip down the Colorado river
Schultz in quest of striking landscapes and
the young feffows, In search of adventure
All got more thstf they bargained for as the
river was ten feet higher than usual on
account Of melting SHOWS.
They went abuwe Needles. made a boat,
| stocked II withrprovisions, and started boldly
down the river None had much expert
ence in shooting the rapids. but they are
now veterans in the business. They made
their way quite well the first day, but
trouble began early, and danger was their
companion all the way to Yuma
One of the first dangerous experiences
was in White Canyon, where a sudden turn
in the river revealed the gloomy canyon
walls and the water running like millrace.
solitary rock was in the middle of the
boiling waters and the men saw a mon
strous eddy on either side. They did their
best to keep in the middle, but the unwieldy
craft failed to answer the helm and began
| to circulate so swiftly that the occupants
were rendered dizzy and nothing could be
done.
| Following the current the boat swept
around the rock and up on the other side,
when the men were astonished to see the
struggling waters forcing them upward
| against the current to the place of starting
Then down again they plunged, only to
| repeat the operation, when the boat struck
| the edge of the rock, swerved its nose aside
| and like fash, was shot out of the in
| fluence of the eddy and into the stiIl water.
| All done in a few moments, but the
| men fell back exhausted and foated down
stream.
The next exciting experience was in Red
| canyon, where the mad waters had cut an
| immense cave in the solid rock wall, in
| which a whirlpool gathered trees snags
and the boat with it's three occupants.
There similar fight was made, with sim
TAR result After reaching smooth water
| the boat was run to the bank and Keenan,
| Jumped ashore to make fast. The trsach-
| e"""s t"nk though hs"-'ng bic trees and
apparently solid, gave V ly, and the young

before Schultz and Foster reached him.
Schultz said the river was treacherous
above any other quality. There is an i'm
mense quantity of soluble matter in the
4 water and the constantly changing channel
made the work of irrigation uncertain and
Schultz predicts that the mouth of the great
| canal now under construction to irrigats
the Colorado desert will be choked with mud
and that the project can never be made

SUNDAY SCHOOL, WORK FXrENsION
Omaha thurchmen Listen to an Interest
Ing Address ON the Iopic.

Omaha thurchmen Listen to an Interest
Ing Address on the Topic.
At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon a large
crowd of Sunday school workers and members
of the clergy listened to an entertaining talk
at the Young Mems Christian association.
The speaked was Hon William Reynolds of
Chicago. who has achieved national repu-
tation for improved ideas of extending Sun
day school work.
Mr. Reynolds said that the catechsm was
primarily the little guide to a Christian life
Its questions formed childish opinions that
clung to men and women as a rule from
childhood to DEATH 1t was the great moral
educator. and the very first question and
answer upon its pages was brief but splen-
did sermon that ought to be imbedded in
every human heart
The speaker alluded to the extension Of
Sunday school service in Chicago. St Louis
Detroit and other cities and attributed its
gratifying development and success to the
unity of action. 1t was due to a Sunday
school union, an organized effort and house
to house canvass 1t had been successful in
bringing children to God. Then, too. enthusi-
asm was maintained in the work by parades
and demonstrations. which aroused youthful
interest. There was unionism in labor, union
ism in beneficiary orders and united effort
in every branch OF life, and hence Sunday
schools should not be an exception. Interests
should De federated 10 some extent ana CO.
operative plan adopted in every city.
Mr.. Reynolds urged Omaha Sunday school
workers to form a union and get to work on
a plan similar to the one he referred to.
There should be a canvass. and after the nu-
merical strength justified 1t there should be a
rally" as he termed IL, OF Sunday school
children, public parade of citizens of that
kingdom OF Jesus Christ. There should be
a procession Of Gods soldiers to impress the
public Just as much as political professions
military drills and the like. 1t would draw
other children closer to the heart OF the Re
deemer and keep them In the right path
Sunday schools made good men and good
women. This country spent too much money
on conviction of criminals. II should spend
more on Sunday schools and thus obviate the
other expenses. The catechism would be
sign board that would steer people away
from the gallows il properly applied and
needed. Boys should be raised TO be goot
citizens, and not raised for the rope:
strangling rebuke to crime. There should bt
more public interest in Sunday schools anC
the Sunday school workers should unite in co
operating for the general good of the soul
saving service. Sunday schools were nur
series of character.
II is probable that unity of actor
among Sunday school workers will be thu
result of Mr. Reynolds suggestion, and there
Is every probability that prompt organization
in this respect will be perfected.

HI,INAUGURAL SERMON.
Park Avenue United Presbyterian Church
Listens to Its New Pastor.

Park Avenue United Presbyterian Church
Listens to ITS New Pastor
Rev. Edgar MacDil preached his first ser
mon as pastor of the Park Avenue United
Presbyterian church yesterday. His text
was John xii 80 He said in part:
These words were spoken by Jesus in the
temple at Jerusalem on the third day Of
the week, Just before the Passover Of the
Jews, There were gathered in that city great
crowds of people. Rome CUrinth, Cairo,
Alexandria, Antioch, Babylon and the cities
of the known world were represented by
some of their Jewish population at this great
feast and many Gentle converts to the true
religion of the true God were also among the
attendants on these ceremonies There were
some Greeks in the temple and they asked
Andrew and Philip 20 see Jesus. And we are
warranted from the circumstances in infer
ring that these words Of the text were
spoken to those inquring Greeks. The phrase
'If | be lifted up from the earth" has been
Interpreted TO mean. by some. the resurrection
Of Christ by others, the ascension and exalta-
tion Of Christ. but the correct Interpretation
is found in the verse following where the
writer OF this gospel says that Jesus said
this to signify the manner of his death on
the cross. and the concise thought Of the
verse then is the attraction OF the cross"
My theme therefore is, The Nature and
Extent of the Attractive Power of Our Cruel
fed Lord"
The nature OF the power is intele ectual
The mind of each generation for the last
1900 years has been held on the life and
crucinxion of Christ The question, Who
was this Jesus of NAZARETH" recurs TO the
successive generations, and II is with GER
tsinty answered. He is the Son OF Man,
Son of God, the Christ. the savior OF the
world"
Many questions have been settled finally
by the early fathers Of the Christian church
who were the peers in intellect OF the mod
ern thinker and whose opinions have with us
conclusive weight, but on the foundation Of
our belief each one must settle for himself
what he thinks Of Christ In this determina-
tion the human mind grapples with the great
est subjects That can engage II. and the CEN
ter Of the mental attraction is Christ, the
crucihed Savior.
THIS power Is also moral. The world has
ever been seeking a perfect pattern OF moral
conduct. The ancient nations had their pat
terms In their heroes whose standard Of
morality was both imperfect and impure. and
