MILITARY HEROES AND WAR
Rev. Mann HonOrs Soldiers Without GlOri-
flying Their Deeds
SAYS WAR IS A MODE OF BAHBARIsS
Men Are to he HonOred Not for XIII
ing others, but for the Justice
of the Cause They
Fight For.

Rev Newton NJ Mann, at Unity church
yesterday morning. took War" for MS
topic and said, in part:
Memorial day, just passed, suggests
topic for our Sunday reflection. Ihe au
nual tribute OF flowers is but a faint ana
sentimental reflection OF the substantial re-
membrance continually made to those Who
died In the service Of this country Inc
honorinE of military heroes is thing tha1
needs TO be very carefully diherentia'eu
from the glorifcation Of war.
war is always mode OF baroarlsi,i'
justifiable only when inevitable They only
glortfy war who delight in seeing neil
upon earth. When war is on, the Gun
fusion Of ideas is so complete that one
cannot venture to express sympathy for
wounded, starving and bereaVed peOple
without being suspected of disloyalty. This
IA one of the moral horrors OF war In
time OF war the necessity arises of killing
n lot of people, but this necessity. Ought
not to make the killing in itself seem any
the less hideous and 1t is the last thlhe
the victors ought to gloat over.
war is a barbarism and in honorlng
those who risk their lives in 1t we are not
bound to honor war or TO refrain from
denouncing It as a terrible and hatetul
thing Most wars have been needless ana
waged merely to crafty the ambitions OF
wicked men. to whom the slaughtering OF
thousands was Of slight consequence.
war is a calamity like an earthquake
tornado or some fell disease to be met win
such composure and courage as can oe
mustered. We hear about glorious war but
the fact is only the warrior is glorious ana
his glory lies in going into supreme peru
at the command of duty. l believe that
the general verdict Of those competent to
Judge is that the Mexican war was morally
uniustihable, but that ought not to detract
from our appreciation of the men who
fought in II. The nature of the cause TOT
which war is waged does have consider
able bearing on the dignity Of the service
rendered. We have a reverence for the
soldiers Of tho Revolution and the civil
war that we have not for the men who
fought in our other wars.
Had Robert e. Lee been born In Mas
sachusetts instead of Virginia, his name
might have been the most honored in his
tory His being a confederate was a mere
accident of locality. Still It has been, and
is difficult for us to honor the soldiers
arrayed against us. The difficulty lies in
separating in our thought heroic devotion
from the cause to which that devotion was
given. When we fully learn this we shall
have flowers for the confederate as well
as for other soldiers graves.
WAR is the Calvary where heroism IS
impaled. in ooidence TO cruel necessity
to pay some debt OF sin"

Il has that distinct flavor of the true drama

effectively worked up Other stirring sit

short address in which he said Decora-

diately following the close OF the civil war
and has since grown into q national OBJ
servance He told then Of the origin of
this beautiful custom of Etrewing flowers
upon the waters In memory of the soldier
and sailor dead buried at sea, which also
originated with a woman, Mrs Carrie M
Peters OF Rawlins Woman's Relief Corps
OF Beatrice, Neb. The ceremony was first
observed at her suggestion in the year 1909
In memory of Sergeant George Geddes of
Company c, First Nebraska Volunteers
who died at sea, while the regiment was an

ENTHUSIASM THE GREAT FORCE.
So Declares Rev. Miller at KOuntxe
Memorial Church.

Memorial Church.
Rev. A. c. Miller, d. D., of Plymouth, o..
preached at Kountze Memorial church yes
terday morning and again in the evening.
DR.. Miller is understood to be a candidate
for the recently vacated pulpit. He is
. man somewhat past middle age and has
pleasing and effective manner OF delivery.
His morning sermon. although heard by g
congregation made small by the rain. was
warmly approved by as many as spoke
their views about II after the services.
Dr. Miller declared that the great need
OF the church of Christ today is enthusiasm.
His discourse was plea for intensity and
earnestness of spirit among the people and
the clergy and in argument of such motor
sources. His text he took from the gospel
according to st. Mark: "And the multi
tude cometh together again, 80 that they
could not 30 much as eat bread. And
when His friends heard Of it. they went
out to lay hold on Him. for they .said He
is beside Himself"
1T is seen that Jesus was declared mad
in His day." said DR.. Miller. "The people
were willing to have Him do good, indeed,
they desired Him to do good. but they did
rot want Him TO do It so earnestly, so in
tensely, 80 strenuously. They declared
Him mad because Of the enthusiasm of His
bplIlt. Inc same tenuenCy on Ino part OF
the world exists today--has always ex-
listed. The sublimely earnest are discred-
tied and to them are applied terms which
question their sanity and intellectual bal
ance.
There are very few In any of our
churches who are accused of madness to-
day because of an excess of enthusiasm
for Christ. But I say that II the spirit of
enthusiasm is extinguished in the pulpit
and in the pow the end of the kingdom
of God on earth is at hand.
History shows us that all great and
incsive reforms have been worked by
great tides of emotion, when men were
enthused into state of self-effacement
and forgetfulness and lived and cared for
principle and cause alone. There are two
unanswerable pleas for enthusiasm; the
first is its utter reasonableness and the
second its success. There is no fear of toe
much enthusiasm. No matter how much
fuel wo throw upon the flames there are
always many others ready to throw or
water. 1t has grown to be recognized
truth that little worth doing can be done
without enthusiasm. All the great captain.

NARROW AND STRAIGHT PATH.
Rev. Long says it is Easy TO Travel
Wrong Road.

Wrong Road.
In speaking from the pulpit Of the Knox
Presbyterian church Sunday morning, Rev
NJ Dewitt Long took for his subject the
question. "Why the Difficult Way?' Quot
ing from the gospel by ST. Matthew, ne
said the hard way is the good way; II Is
narrow and straight, and the wrong way
is wide and easy. Rev. Mr.. Long said, In
part;
Even as children Il Is far easier for us
TO do those things which are not good for
US. 1t is strange, but the easiest things
that we can do are invariably the wrong
things, and to do right we are forced to
do those things in which we find the least
pleasure. why is It that the road to sue
cess leads ever upward and that to failure
is the downward and easy path7 Activity
is the law of enjoyment. Not one man in
four succeeds as he would in this world
and that is because of slothfulness. True
we hnd those who have been pressed down
and held back by circumstances of which
they are not the masters, but these are the
exceptions and far from being the rule.
Right living may be hard, but It leads
TO life. Do you understand what that really
means, or must we still preach of the here
after, with its hell fire, and portray satan
as being with cloven hoofs, a forked tall
and horns growing from his head. Our
religion should be one of hope and not of
fear. In medieval times we inspired fear
| for the good of religion, but now there is
that promise of reward and the difficult
way is a means to the end.
That hope of an after life should be
like cable fastened to some faraway
star, drawing us ever forward. If we hitch
our wagon to a star and the cable is not
| strong enough to draw us on; that is, II
circumstances are our masters, then we
may feel that the trial that we have made
is to count for us and that the way to the
after life is as easy as II the cable had not
parted. Life in this world consists of try
ing to do as we should under all circum-
stances. If we fail because Of untoward
events It is not our fault, but our mis-
| fortune"

Leads the World In Print Paper.

Wisconsin is bounding to the front
in the science of paper making, only
two states-Maine and New York
ranking higher in quantity and quality
of production. More mills are continu-
ally being built, such as that at Rhine
lander, and the factory which will util-
iZe the immense water-power at Jim
Falls mot Jim's Falls. With the COM
pletion of the new dam at Grand Rap
ids every bit of water-power on the
Wisconsin river will be utilized for
this most important industry. The val
lev of this river is already recognized
as being the heaviest producer of print
paper which the newspapers of the
country are printed.
The state is anxious that every one
shall have high school education, so
far as possible, and as there are not
high schools in many communities, the
effort is to open the way for them to
attend as non-residents. A new law
last winter prescribes that the appli-
cant must have completed the common
school course and the fee is fixed at
not over oO CeHlS per week. lie cOuu-
ty superintendent may authorize at
tendance where the graduation qualifi-
cation is lacking, but hereafter the
board of education and the principal
of the high school are not authorized
to admit pupils upon an examination
given by them as heretofore. The
weekly tuition is not paid by the pupil,
but by the town, the amount being run
into the levy.
