One OF the features Of the bill at the
Creighton orpheum for the next week Is
that not a single Legitimate act is listed.
Everything offered belongs to the realm OF
vaudeville pure and simple and as such
can be relished by the patrons OF the the
ster. And It is a good bill at that. 1t has
musical comedy, music without comedy
and comedy without music, has monologue
and duo sketches, an acrobatic act and a
new lot OF kinedrome pictures that are
worth watching. Dorseh and Russell open
with a musical comedy sketch in which the
music far exceeds the comedy. William
CahiTl Davies won a place in local estima-
ton with his Irish wit and songs and Mr..
and Mrs. Swickard secured warm applause
by their singing. They have voices Of some
power and range. we'll cultivated and sing
with much taste. The four Rianos have a
Erotesque acrobatic act, in which several
new and difhcult stunts are gracefully
worked off. Lizzie and Vinie DAILY dance
to the unfeigned delight Of all. and Irving
Jones sings his own songs as only he can
sing them. Lamor and Gabriel are as
amusing as they are unique, and that is
saying a good deal, for they are as odd a

JUDGE NOT, LEST YE DE JUDGED.
Text of Rev. Yost's sermon mt st.
Mary's Avenue Church

Text of Rev. YOst's Sermon mt 81.
Mary's Avenue Church.
Taking for his text the words Judge
not. lest we be judged" Rev. Robert Yost
OF st. Mary's Avenue Congregational church
preached a most earnest sermon yester-
day morning in depreciation Of the habit OF
uncharitable criticism OF others.
He said the command embodied in his
text did not, as he read 1t, entirely forbid
the use of the God-given faculty OF judy
ment any more than the words In the same
chapter: Beware Of false prophets. by
their fruits We shall know them" meant
that all prophets should be discredited. and
in further support Of that Interpretation
he called attention to that other portion
Of the scripture in which It is commanded;
Eye shall Judge ali men righteously."
The speaker said he did not believe that
when Patrick Henry criticised Great Britain
and the British faction he had violated the
divine law in so doing, or that when the
Chinese were writing history In Christian
blood the people OF the Christian nations
were obligated by divine law to refrain
from Judgment OF their acts. Neither did
he think that he would be expected to i'm
pute right motives to a burglar who should
enter mis- house in the middle Of the night.
He did believe, however. that society was
too much given to unchaTitable, unchris-
tian, ungodlike and unjustiiable criticism
The speaker said he would like to take
as a second text the words Honor all
men," and he urged his hearers to think
well upon that admonition and follow It,.
A man, he said. had no right to condemn
the acts OF another except for a moral
purpose and to accomplish some good by
SO doing. II each man should devote him
self to uprooting the weeds In his own
garden until he had that task entirely &C
complished before crossing the fence to
assist his neighbor none would ever get
beyond their own fences. Uncharitable
judgment of the acts Of others he declared
to be one OF the most serious Of all sins.

Secret of a Successful Merchant.

The success Of a merchant depends
largely Upon his ability to please his Gus

only articles which are to his knowledge
most reliable. In handling medicine this is

preparation on the market and appreciate
the recommendation of their druggist. Here

In The Night Before Christmas" which
opened an engagement at the Boyd theater
yesterday afternoon. the author has under
taken a heavy task in the heart interest
line, and the auditor is subjected to four
= cts which are devoted chiefly to most in
tense melodrama. The play. which is by
the prolific Hal Reed, is not strikingly dis
similar from many others Of its class, and
in It's principal events presents nothing that
is distinotively novel. Except for the fact
that the playwright's license has been ex-
ercised to the utmost in producing dra-
matte effects the story is we'll told and the
piece possesses many truly natural pas
sages. One highly meritorious bit Is the
telling Of the ghost story as acted by the
three little Misses Clifton. who otherwise
contribute much to the entertainment Of
the audience. The company throughout is
capable and the production was well re-
eeived by large audiences at both Of the
performances Of yesterday.

PROVISION o REDEMPTION

Rev. Edward Hart jerks
on "AtOnement."
Advancement" a provision for the re-
demption OF man. formed the theme upon
which Rev. Edward Hart jerks discoursed
at the First Presbyterian church Sunday
morning. He discussed the love and the
Justice of God and what man should do to
be just with God and have his sins for
given.
Rev. jerks said that man exalted Gods
love above Gods justice because he under
stood love better. Though Gods love was
perfect 1t was not more so than His JUS
tice. These two, he said, sat side by side
like kings and ruled the universe. One was
as perfect as the other and one was as in
finite as the other.
1--WE all recognize that we are sinners"
said Rev. Jenks, "and we know that we
can be made holy, even though our sins be
as black as midnight. But we must recog-
nize that asking for forgiveness and re-
penting Of our sins does not blot out the
path we have led. How God blots out sin
is told in John III. in these words: God SO
loved the world that he gave His only be-
gotten son that whosoever believeth in Him
shall not perish, but shall have eternal life
We must give our lives to God.
mo one doubts Jesus Christ, yet there
are many who doubt God. And yet God is
responsible for Jesus having come to us. 1t
was He who so loved the world that He gave
His son that we might be saved. The at
onement is not redemption, but only a pro-
vision for redemption"

been reorganized, with Prof. Wright as
