E~regntion on soul saving.

breaches 10 His Grace Lutheran Con-
E~regation on soul saving.
Rev. L. NJ. Melick entered upon his new
pastorate at Grace Lutheran church. No.
1926 South Twenty-sixth street, yesterday
morning. He took for his text Proverbs
x, 81, and Daniel xii, 3: He that win
meth souls shall thrive, and they that
turneth may souls to righteousness shall
shine"
Rev. Melick said in part: The world
says he that winneth wealth is wise and
that he can buy worldly honor and houses.
And some verify believe shat salvation
can be bought. The world says that they
who can win the minds and affections
OF their fellow men shall thrive and shine
in society and craftsmanship. The mind
that wrote the Proverbs was not that Of a
fanatic. The words Of Solomon written
then are the foundations Of wisdom to this
day. He was a business man and gained
great wealth. Daniel was the chief ex-
ponent Of wisdom in the Babylonian courts
in the day when Babylon ruled the world.
The value OF the soul is found in its pur-
chasing price. The value Of an article is
based upon what people will pay for IL.
He who made the soul knew its value.
He was anxious for its redemption by His
own blood. Should a cruel foe take away
your child, what would you be willing to
pay for its return? The value of the soul
is found in the preparation that God has
made for IT in heaven. Whenever we turn
our eyes toward heaven and see the glories
OF the clouds and the stars and the hrma-
ment, we are looking at only the bottom
Of the floor on high. God gave us this
beautiful earth for the entertainment and
delight Of our bodies. What must be the
beauties Of heaven, that He has prepared for
the entertainment of the soul? The value
Of the soul is what 1t can suffer or enjoy
by being mortal. The body and soul have
diverse interests; one is for that which is
earthly and the other for that which is
immortal.
THE soul is like the Gagged bird. II
longs for the freedom Of the boundless
air. 1t is like the eaglet Of the Rocky
mountains, whose wings were clipped. II
could see but not soar. Finally its wings
grew out again and It found that 1t could
rise higher and higher and at last Joined
its mates in the aeries Of the mountains
We have our bodies and souls to care for
Let us not neglect either. Men win soult
by the influence that comes from the foot
of the cross OF Christ. In the midst Of the
Rocky mountains is that great and beau
tiful spectacle towering in its rugged
grandeur above it's fellows, the Mount OF
| the Holy Cross. A vertical and horizontal
cleft in the mountain Of vast proportions
filed with everlasting snow, constitutes
the cross that gives the mountain Its
name. From the foot Of this cross Issues
the clear, pure water that at last fndi
its way to Denver to supply its people will
Gods pure nectar. From the foot OF the
Cross Of Calvary comes the influence tina
must save souls to God"

Heart and sword" NJ the boyd.
II there had been any doubt in the mind
Of Dick Ferris or his friends as to his
popularity in Omaha, the experience Of
yesterday must have dispelled it. Last
season the Ferris Summer Stock company
opened at the Boyd theater to the largest
attendance that had ever been packed into
the house. 1t was put down in the books
as a record. and stood as such until yes
terday. At the two performances yesterday
exactly 74O more people paid to get in than
did one year ago. Where they all got to
in the house is a mystery to both man
agement and ushers; but the box office
receipts cannot be denied. This is GER
tainly a lattering reception to Mr.. Ferris,
and one of which he may well feel proud.
The company which gave its first per-
formance yesterday is a much stronger
one than he had here last summer and its
work won much merited applause. Robert
Blaylock, who was very popular last sea-
son for his conscientious work, is the only
member Of the company known here, but
there are several others who will win for
themselves many friends II their work OF
yesterday is a criterion Of their ability.
Mr. Ferris. who took the role OF Prince
Victor of Heinalt, the rollicking hero OF
Heart and Sword" gives us an excellent
conception OF the man who can make love
or fight for his life with the same smile
on his face, and who is yet true to the
best in his nature at all times. Miss Marie
Pavey, the leading lady Of the company
is both graceful and clever, with a gouG
stage presence and a sweet voice. The
niece is well staged and competently acted.
1t will continue until after Wednesday.

RUDIsILL ON SILENT INFLUENCE
PennsyIvania Preacher Talks of 1t Mt
Memorial.

Memorial.
At Kountze Memorial church Sunday
morning Rev. A. j. Rudisill Of Mount Car
mel. Pa, preached the sermon. Mr.. Rudi-
sill will be with the Omaha congregation
two weeks, concluding his service next Sun
day. His text Sunday morning was taken
from Exodus, 31:24, "And Moses wist not
that his face shone," the theme being THE
Power Of Silent influence"
The speaker said that some trees cast
q shadow which is deadly to all other
forms OF vegetation, the grass and brush
dying where it's shade falls, while under
other trees Of apparently the same depth
Of shade the vegetation will be luxuriant
and this finds analogy in the life OF men,
some bringing gloom with their presence
and others seeming to radiate sunlight and
Joy. Twas thus with Moses when, after
forty days and forty nights in the noun
tain, where he had seen the Lord face to
face, he returned to his people TO find them
turned away from God in idolatry. His
influence caused them to return, and when
God again called him away to the mountain
to stay for forty days and forty nights
again, TO show the people that they must
be true to God after Moses had finally left
them, they again fell away and worshiped
tue SeTItnl. but they were Drought again
to the true faith through Moses.
Moses visit not that his face shone,r
and this shows to us that the power of
silent influence is unconscious influence
said the speaker when the Apostle Peter
walked the streets OF Jerusalem the PEG
pie placed the sick, the lame and the blind
where his shadow would fall upon them
and they were cured by the unconscious
influence OF this man OF God. The life OF
the humblest Christian by his example will
bring men to the church and these humble
Christians may never know Of the fact
The silent influence OF parents upon chill.
dren lie what controls their lives. The
parent may deceive the public as to his
real character, but he will never deceive
the child. for 1t is his unconscious actions
n his influence in unconscious moments
which moulds the future life OF the child
and makes him what he is. There is q
time when a smile may be a sin and 6
time when a smile may save a soul. After
all, It is not what a man says that gives
him influence. but what he is and what he

The last play for the season to be given
by the Bohemian American Dramatic club
was witnessed by an audience that filled
the New Turner hall at Thirteenth and
Dorcas streets to o~verfowing last night.
The production was that of the four-act
melodrama, "'Twixt Love and Law; or,
The Finger Of Scorn." With the expert
ence gained by the work of the season in
other plays the amateur actors excelled in
the hnal effort, the movement of the play
being smooth and uniform and the dra-
matte and Evolutionary expression OF a kim
that merited only the most favorable criti-
cism. All Of the participants had an OPP
portunity to display ability in roles thai
suited them. Their efforts to entertain me-
with liberal and well-deserved applause
Next winter the members of the club will
resume the study of other plays, presenting
one each month. The season which CLOSED
last night was a success, both from an ar
tistic and a financial standpoint.
