the Lord our best. There is much that
we can do. Take the newspapers of the

KUHNS RESIGNS PASTORATE
Pastor Of Grace Lutheran Church is to
Leave Omaha Soon.
BECOMES SECRETARY LUTHERAN LEAGUE
After Fifteen Years Continuous serv-
ice He Leaves Charge Here Free
of Debt TO Take I'D More
Important work.

After a pastorate which had been con-
tinuous for fifteen years, Rev. Luther M.
Kuhns OF Grace Lutheran church announced
with deep regret to his congregation Sun
day morning his intention OF leaving
Omaha to accept a new and important work
which had been thrust upon him. Rev.
Kuhns was recently elected general secre-
tary OF the Lutheran League OF America,
which he was partially instrumental In
founding and with which he has been closely
identified as a member Of the executive
committee, and felt 1t his duty to accept.
In resigning his pastorate Mr.. Kuhns
stated that he expected to leave for New
York by January 30 to assume the duties
Of his new position and that his quarters
would be in that city. His field will be
from ocean to ocean. He will have the
honor Of delivering addresses at large con-
v%entions which will be held in New York,
Philadelphia and Boston during the next
few weeks.
His letter OF resignation was given to
the council OF the church and will be acted
upon at the annual meeting next Sunday
Much regret was expressed by the men,
bers OF the congregation in the loss OF the
beloved pastor, whose work has been un-
ceasing and with excellent success, as
through his efforts the present edifce, free
from all debt or obligations, has grown
from a mere mission.
AS a htting discourse the pastor preached
upon the subject, 9TH New Years Mes
sage" in which he admonished his congre-
cation and members of the church to live
In the future and not the past; not to be-
come Christian fossils, but active workers;
30 that their lives shall not have been
in vain.

NEW RESOLUTIONS HIS SUBJECT.
DR.. Mann Says They Indicate Con-
sc~iOusnes of Imperfection.

aciOusness of ImperfectiOn.
Having in the earlier part of the serv-
ice read Longfellow's poem. THE Two
Rivers" Rev. Newton NJ. Mann preached
upon the subject OF new resolutions, choos-
ing his text from the Revelation of st.
John: And another book was opened,
which is the book OF life. I I'm the alpha
and omega-the beginning and the ending,
saith the Lord, which is and which was
and which is to come
To put the book Of Revelation before
his hearers in the true light DR.. Mann re-
called the conditions which inspired 1t,
stating that that portion Of the east out
OF which the book came was convulsed
at the time by a concurrence of most dis
tressing events-earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions and destruction Of cities by the
Romans, which the people Of that day in
their state Of enlightenment could only ex-
plain on the theory that the end Of all
things earthly was at hand. They, In
their belief hat the world was then some
1000 years old, considered It to be very
old, and in their expectation OF a quickly
coming Christ looked upon the events of
those times as Enthusiastically foretelling the
end OF the world.
In this enlightened age Of 1900 years
idtoI mSh . iutdn "a ~ span - a 70
ginning and end of the world had been ex-
tended and II had been accepted that the
day Of judgment would not be deferred
until the end of time. He presented the
thought that II each day In itself Is not a
day Of Judgment there must be in the cycle
OF each ones life certain periods which
fulfill that purpose. A year. he said. is
the period occupied by the earth complet-
ing the circle of its orbit around the sun
and a year must be an important epoch in
the life Of any person, as it is not given tC
many OF us to make the journey more thar
fifty times.
DIR. Mann counseled his hearers not Il
look lightly upon the resolutions Of tho
new year-even though they are all too
often broken and disregarded-for at Least
they indicate a consciousness of imperfec'
tion and a disposition to strive for some
thing better. He commended resolutions
to form new habits and overcome old one
hat had been recognized as undesirable
and to more completely perform onet
duty. He suggested a resolution to attent
church with the same regularity and pune
tuality as business, and expressed regre
that such exhortations should usually oc
cur at times when those whom 1t is par
ticularly desired to reach are absent.

POWER TO FAKE LONG VIEWS.
Rev. Herring says LIEht stream Upon
ShndOwed Future.

Swallowed Future.
Rev. Hubert G. Herring. at the First
Congregational church yesterday morning,
took for his text Hebrew xii, 2: who for
the joys set before them endured the cross.
despising the shame"
Jesus found a sustaining power in His
vision Of events to come" he said. HE
took long views Of life. We need to catch
His spirit. on this first Sabbath OF the
new year let US consider bow we, too, may
take long views We have the power to
do it. II is quite true that we cannot
read the future. 1t is a sealed book. And
yet, In another view Of the case, we are
able to say what life will be, given certain
conditions. And these conditions rest
with us.
There are two sources from which light
streams upon the Swallowed future. One
is human experience. 1t would be strange
after all these ages IL humanity had gotten
no clue to the course OF human life. II II
has learned nothing else 1t has at least
learned the law Of the harvest. Fruit is
seen to follow seed and to follow like in
kind. EVIL begets evil and evil begets sor-
row. This one fact is full Of prophesy for
your life and mine.
The other source Is the revelation Of
God in Christ. There the will Of God, the
plans OF God and the hope God has for us
are written in light. He who believes in
the revelation knows what his career will
be II he puts himself in the line of Gods
thought for him.
80 to him who drifts blindly on we say,
You need not. You have the power to
take long views Of life To him who
declares himself an agnostic we say, 1t is
Of your own choosing. You have needful
light to take long views"

through underground wire with the respeo-
tive battery.
This theory, so repugnant TO common
sense, ] rejected and formed the conclusion
that the earth was simply a great reservoir
Of electricity into which the various cur
rents generated by hemica batteries were
passing and out Of which an equivalent was
returned at the other end, balancing the
general quantity Of electric energy within
the reservoir. In other words, when the
qusutity OF electric energy forced its way
by a ground wire into the earth an equiv
alent forced It's way up out Of the earth at
the point where the circuit was completed.
Having become convinced that the earth
was a reservoir Of electricity, my next de-
duction was that a constant supply Of en-
ergy must be generated from some source,
and that source, in my judgment. is to be
found in the propulsion OF the earth around
its own axis, which, as we know, must gem
crate a vast amount OF electric energy. and
that energy being part of the earth, is alb
sorbed by the earth.
As a Motive Power.
THE general public has not kept track
OF the wonderful progress that has been
made in the application Of electricity as a
motive power. The most stupendous power
plant was installed last year by the Man
haitian Elevated Railway company in New
York. At the time Of its completion 1t
was the largest power plant in the world
and had the largest engines ever built. 1t
has sixty-iour boilers Of 6O0-horse power
each. There are eight engines OF 5000
rated horse power each and IL, 5OO-horse
power maximum. This makes the plant
100, 000-horse power. The high pressure
cylinders are forty-four inches in diameter.
and the low pressure Lightweight inches.
The foundation plate for the alternator is
cast in a solid piece, ten feet three inches
by forty-three feet, while the alternator
cast steel hub weighs twenty-five tons in
one piece. The alternator complete weighs
ASH tons. The application Of electricity
as a motive power for the New York Ele-
waited railway has materially improved the
rapid transit, as compared with steam
power.
THE application of electricity to the
operation of great railroad systems has
also made rapid strides during the last
twelve months. 1t has grown beyond the
suburban railroads and is no longer a
doubtful experiment.
ION New Years day Edison gave out,
among other statements: We are only in
the infancy Of electricity. It's possibilities
no man can dream no more than a man
fifty years ago could have foretold what
we have today. Little discoveries like the
Roentgen and the Becquerel rays will lead
to great things. What, cannot be told Just
now
Experiments of scOtchman.
"As far back as 1914 James Bowman
Lindsay, a Scotchman, projected wireless
telegraphy and made SOM experiments
over moderate distances, but his expert
ments were cut short by his death. The
biographer Of Lindsay has delivered a lee
ture on these early experiments on wire
less telegraphy and has exhibited his APP
paratus and diagrams. The Scotch inventor
transmitted signals from Portsmouth across
the Tay."
At the conclusion OF the address Mr..
R~osewater answered a number OF ques-
tions put by members of the society.
