BURGLARS STEAL RINGS.
Broke Into Residence Of W. H
Harms LIST NIGHT.

The residence Of ". H. Harms at 62s
South Second West street was visited
by burglars early last evening while
the family was away and relieved Of
all the jewelry that could be found. A
gold watch and three rings valued
at about $500, a quantity Of old coins
and some papers were taken by the
thief.
The family went away. ffom the
house early in the evening. leaving the
place securely locked. When they re-
turned, about 1870 last evening, they
found the interior Of the house looking
like a small cyclone had struck it. and
the above mentioned jewelry was miss
ing. An examination of the place
showed that the thief had pried the
screen from one of the windows and
gained entrance that way.
The burglar evidently got out of the
house only a few minutes before Mr..
Harms reached home, as a light was
seen in the house by one of the neigh
lhQrs just a few minutes before Mr..
Karns game. The neighbors supposed
the light was lighted by some of the
family and burglars We're not suspect
ed until Mr.. Harms discovered the con-
dition Of the house. The matter was
reported to the police.

new PASTORS FIRST SERMON
REV. D. A. BROWN TO FIRST
BAPTIST CONGREGATION.
Discourse on the Subject of "Chyis-
tan service'--Bases For Chris
tians to Work From.

Rev. d. a. Brown, the new pastor OF
the First Baptist church, preached his
initial sermon TO a large and attentive
congregation yesterday morning. Mr..
Brown took for his subject Christian
Service" his text being from Mark,
X, A. which speaks OF the relation Of
man to Cod i'm the service which is
due from the former TO the latter.
we find said Mr. Brown, that
many people are dist - 7bOut their
relation with the Hea. IA. Father. 1t
is not a disturbance that B~gets doubt,
but that begets difidence and dfsinter-'
eStedness. What, them is the true basis
OF the Christians relation to his God
There. are three bases by which we
may gauge the relation OF the Christian
to his GOd-simllarity OF spirit, congen-
i<Ity Of association and willingness to
serve Coo.
by a similarity Of spirit we may
know thai q man Sears not only the
name Of Cod. out is filed with the
spirit of his Father. and is a Christian.
not only in name, bus in deed and pur-
pose"
Referring to the second basis. Of con
genia4ity of association, the speaker
said that the man VINO associates with
Gcd in prayer and supplicatiOn and
loves his Maker VIII OF necessity love
and associate with his fellow men. One
Of the first laws OF God, ne said. was
AyN r. OF Atl4CN man. anu LuE trllFlSLlans
to bear a true relation to Cod, must
obey that law
The third basis Of religion, that of
willingness to serve God, the speaker
said was one Of the most important,
ana the one which represented the
highest relation of Christian. service.
we may say said the speaker,
that the Christian who spends his life
in the serviCe. Of Cod has living faith.
but, in Uhe language Of the scriptures,
Faith without works IS dead
I co not say that an inactive faith
does MT save. but il does not serve.
Again, the Christian who spends his
l.fe in the service Of God viii express
by the deeds OF his daily life that Iiv-
ing faith I'm the Heavenly Father. The
man who spends his life IN the service
Of God has the chiefest employment
that can occupy his time. The world
has changed its idea of employment.
Men ured to serve self alone, and while
that selhshness has not all passed
away, yet the coming OF Christ into
The world revolutionized the idea of
I service, and men are looking more and
more 20 the service of God"
