OUR LETTER BOX
Complaint IL or Mi.lendinr Name.

Complaint Is OF Misleading Name.
OMAHA, Neb. July Ito the Editor
on The Bee: In your paper of yesterday
american Citizen" asks II the Young
Mems Christian association Is a proscriptive
society and asks this question because
OF my letter to you. To me, at least, your
note to the above question is not very
clear. My objection TO your appeal to
all classes and creeds TO help the Young
Mems Christian association Is that Il Is
misleading and calculated to deceive many.
The name of the association would make
It appear as If all Christian young men,
no matter what particular Christian creed
they might profess-Catholic or Protestant
were equally eligible to all the rights
and privileges Of the association. am
creditably informed that such is not the
case; that Catholics, as such. are debarred
full privileges. and that only Evangeli-
cal Protestants can enjoy all the privileges
of the association. Are not Catholics
Christians7. We think they are. Why,
then, debar them7 Why then not call IT
THE Protestant Young Mems Christian as
sociation?" Surely, then, l would not and
could not complain. The association would
be known by its proper name and no one
could reasonably be deceived.
There is no parity between Catholic in
stitutions and the Young Mems Christian
association. My friend american Citi-
zen" says some of the teachings OF the
Roman Catholic church are very narrow.
Which ones? fear that he. like many
others, got his notion of Catholic teach
ing not from the church, but from its enc
mics. ]. T. SMITH.

He cut Moore only once, the wound bleed
ing profusely. Police Surgeon Langdon re-
sponded to the call for the patrol wagon

Hostetter was called. The injured man was
taken to his home, and his wound found to
be rather serious Spencer made his es-
cape, but Moore was able TO give a good
description of him and It is thought he will
be apprehended.

at the Boyd theater by the Ferris Stock
company, and was very well received both
times. The play is well put on and SPLEEN

chief interest conferred In the return OF
Mr.. Robert Blaylock TO the company. He
is very pleasantly remembered for his
former connection with the company as
a capable and conscientious actor, who
brings to his work a mind that is natu-
rally adapted for his profession and which
has been broadened and matured by ex-
perience. He grasps intuitively the CEN
trail point of the role he is to enact and
builds up his character around that, pro-
ducing a most convincing whole. In the
part of Jack Diamond. the hero of For
given" he gives a most satisfying in
depreciation of a part that could easily
be spoiled by indifference or overacting.
Miss Pavey is very well situated as Anna
Dennison, afterwards the wife of Diamond.
and with Mr.. Blaylock gives one of the
best performances the company has yet
offered The others in the cast work with
unusual zeaA and the result is one that
merits full praise. Forgiven will be

TEMPTED AS MEN ARE

DR.. Newman Hall Burdick breaches
on the HeIpfuIness of Jesus as
E1empIiaed An the Lives
of Men.

was Jesus tempted when on earth as
men are today7' asked Rev. George w.
Isharn. presiding elder of the Beatrice dis
trict in his sermon at the First Methodist
church Sunday morning Among the
temptations that assail men today are
those that come to a man in the service
Of a large corporation. He is master OF
the particular business for which the cor
poration employs him and no other. De-
pendent upon him and his salary are wife
and children. The corporation requires
him to do things that are not morally
right-to deceive, for instance, in various
ways, to perjure himself by swearing to
a false document. He feels that he will
expose his family to distress, misery, per-
haps want, by taking a righteous course.
Shall he compromise with evil7
was Christ ever so tempted on earth7
think He was. 1 think He went through
exactly the same forms OF temptation that
exist today believe His greatest tempta-
tons came. not in ighting the evil within
Himself but regarding His responsibilities
and obligations to other men. It was not
one wife and several children He was con-
cerned with. He had the pressure OF the
whole human family upon His great, di-
vine heart. Satan pointed out how easy
turning stone into bread for the people
who were rushing to Caesar for free wheat
But HIS memorable answer was that men
do not live by bread alone. The world
cannot be saved by eating.
Satan urged Him to destroy the ennui
and the monotony OF life by giving wis
dom and revealing the marvels of the SUI
pernatural so as TO dazzle and enrapture
all. But the Master knew human mind
and knew this was not the way to saliva
ton. He might have solved all the social,
political and Industrial problems-labor.
classes, scaste-rbut He knew that this would
not reach the needs of the world He had
come to save; that He must take up the
lot OF the common man and bear his
burdens and share his sweat.
Those cheap and earthly methods, these
compromises with expediency would not
have been the method. He chose instead
an infinite method that will last through
ages and survive ALL time. Who but
divine One would work out such a plan
for men--His Sacrifice, His atonement, His
death on the cross. And who but the
Son OF God could know that this was the
method that would irresistibly win it's way
and endure7
There is scare need OF demonstrating
what Christ has done for man. The one
great comforting assurance of the universe
is not only power, intelligence. wisdom and
justice. but that He who rules the uni
verse loves man. In. return for this love we
can do no more than as advised by the
psalmist, to open our hearts to that love
which gives meaning and sense to the
things of life and is the broad, cooling
pillow on which we may lay our weary
heads"

Rev. Newman Hall Burdick OF the Sec

morning from the text: 10 Hitherto the

The theme was chosen in view of this
Being the second anniversary OF his pas

his sermon he extended, on behalf Of the
Young Mems Christian association, the
thanks OF that organization for the part
the members of the Second Presbyterian
church took In raising the 100000 fund re-
quired for the construction of the new
building for the association DR.. Burdick
said in part:
Hitherto the Lord hath helped us. Sam

to atone for the great evil that they had
done. The Philistines came against the
children OF Israel and were defeated and
Israel was delivered out OF their hands
II was God who furnished them with the
power to accomplish their atonement. When
people turn to God. God helps them. When
tempted, look to the stone Ebenezer, the
memorial Of Gods help. and He will help
you. If we have been the means of turn
ing soul to Christ Il is because God hath
helped Us. If you have been trained to
II
Is because God has been your helper.
You are either for or against God. To

do not fathom the depth or meaning of
Gods grace and help and its necessity I'm
all our undertakings. We must put our
strength in Him. The Philistines come 70
overwhelm US at that psychological mo-
ment when we most need Gods helm. Had
Israel always kept the stone OF Ebenezer
visible before them and face to face with
them, the history OF Israel would have
BEEN vastly different today.
God bids you do more and more to win
souls TO Christ. Pick up some poor, dis
Outraged outcast and bring him to the

Ebenezer Smell, the grandfather Of
the poet William Cullen Bryant, is de-
scribed as a good type Of the New
England farmer, in whose nature Puri-
tanism, with it's stern rigors Of conduct
and conscience, was Overlaid with
many of the amenities Of Yankee hui
NOR. Bryant preserved several anec-
dotes Of his grandfather, one of which.
quoted by Mr.. w. A. Bradley in his
biography Of the poet, may serve to in
dictate the way in which he exercised
his humor, and also to show the patri-
archal conception of justice that was
held in a remote New England COM
munity at the end of the eighteenth
century.
My grandfather, said Bryant, once
found that certain pieces of lumber in
tended by him for the runners of a sled
and called in that part Of the country
sled crooks had been taken without
leave by a farmer who lived at no
great distance. These timbers were
valuable, being made from a tree the
grain Of which was curved SO as to
correspond with the curve required in
the runners.
The delinquent received notice that
his offense was known and that II he
wished to escape prosecution he must

poor widows living in the neighbor-
hood and tell them why he brought IL

1.-THE Greek was the first to apply tar
and feathers to the body Of an offend
err" said a doctor. '"Then, as now, this
punishment of the victim was consid-
cred one Of the worst possible. In fact,
tarring and feathering was considered
a greater punishment than hanging. 1t
was a living punishment of the most
repulsive kind. Aerating Of the blood
to a certain extent through the skin
takes place, and in the naked skin f1s-
sures this is very important part Of
the aerating process. In man the skin
does about one-thirtieth part Of the
work, while the lungs do the rest. 1t
has been demonstrated that frogs
live but a few hours after having
been given a coat Of varnish. A man
that is so unfortunate as to receive a
coat Of tar and feathers so soon as
freed from his prosecutors seeks to free
himself from the recently applied tar.
A man with good kidneys could endure
longer such an application than one
suffering from an attack of any disease
affecting the kidneys. Death might
follow his suffering. The skin Is q
great absorbent agent"
