Bitter Struggle Expected.

Although less ludll Hdll VI the dIi
thracite miners are members of the I'M
ion, the most of them having dropped
out through nonpayment of dues, fully
% per cent of the men will be in the
great labor army when the war opens,
ready to fight for the principles of un-
iOnism. There will be arrayed against
the anthracite employers in this strug
gle fully $4,000 men. The State mill
tia, it is believed by many, will be insult
ficent to control the situation if rioting
begins, and national troops will be call
ed in to aid them. For several months
agents of the coal-producing railroads
have been employing men ostensibly 10
serve as laborers and private watch
men at the mines. Stockades have been
erected where none was required i'll
1900 or 1902, and miles of barbed wire
fencing have been shipped into the an
thracite region during the last week.
Riot and bloodshed will follow any at
tempt to operate the mines during q
strike. 1t was attempted in a small
way in 1900, after the great majority
of all the mine workers had quit, and
men whose eyes were shot out, children
who We're blown out of their beds by
dynamite and women who suffered seri-
Gus injuries live to protest against the
proposition to work the mines with non.
union labor.
Never before in its history has the
anthracite mining union been called
upon to meet a determined attempt to
work the mines during a general strike
The sentiment Of the community in the
mining region is hostile to such at
tempts and heretofore the operators
have bowed to public sentiment At this
time, however, the operators think there
is no general sympathy for the mine
workers and that the demand for coal
will compel them to work the mines
That a great many miners believe
that the strikew i'll be bitter struggle

ployers was evidenced by the departure

region. A majority of these men are
foreigners who will go to their homes
in Europe and there await the outcom:
Of the pending strife.
Nowhere in the world is the feeline
so strong against nonunion labor as il
the anthracite field. Thirty years have
not sufficed to wipe away the stigma
of one days work ''in the diggings'

CHURCH A CORPORATION
Son of God 4, Head. hut All Members
Must Join in work.

The church is a sort Of corporation,
with Christ the head, into which the men,
bers put all they can for the good of
the body as a whole said Rev. S d.
butcher at the First Christian church Sun
day morning
THE purpose of the corporation is the
preaching Of the gospel and the saving of
men. In this God works not alone; he Is
assisted by all the members of the cor
poration. Let US sec what the members
have done. God gave His Son, the great
est sacrifice He could have made He sent
His Son into the world, not to condemn
the world, but that the world might be
saved. Christ put His whole life into the
work In excessive humility He suffered
discomfort, heartaches and self-denial and
finally He gave up His life in the bloom
OF His young manhood.
"One other great parsonage came into
the corporation. II was the Spirit Of God.
II beamed when order came out OF chaos
and the sun shone on universal worlds
flying through space. 1t moved the proph-
cts: It inspired and enlightened the apos-
ties: It has always lowered over the
world and guided the destinies of men.
Now. what have we. tho other mem
bers of the corporation, done? When l
look back over the year and think of the
few dollars and the few extra hours l
have put into the work. I think how lit
tie I have given as compared with what
God has given. BY contrast with the work
of Christ. we have done so little. Now,
after all the gifts-God and Christ and the
Holy Spirit--it remains for Gods people
to carry the work to completion. The
worlds salvation remains with His
church. It is for us to lend God our best
cooperation in this great work. this new
year more than any other"

ship" he said. should not be the end. We
should think above and beyond this. We
should apply ourselves locally to the mis-
sionary spirit and to the Lords work else
where. Let every one give what he can
give. not alone OF material means, but
exert a personal effort toward bringing
young people into the church influences by
personal contact with these young people.
We cannot do 1t by proxy. We must be-
come missionaries in this parish and bring
these young people TO the houses of wor-
ship with us
I'VE should show in the activities OF our
daily lives what we believe In religion. II
Is by this that the light OF Christ's gospel

COD WILL KEEP HIS ELECT
Rev. Dr. Cooley breaches on Fundamental
Dealings Of the Savior
BENeFITs OF GOSPEL FREE or HlNDRASct
Dean Beecher Emphasizes Continuing
Need of Personal Effort TO Bring
the Young People to
Christ.

The three words Elect, Begotten, Kept
were taken as the subject of a forceful
discourse by Rev Or. ]. W. Conley, pastor
Of the First Baptist church, Sunday morn
ing Around the doctrines embraced by
these words has ragged the most bitter con-
troversies which the church has seen.
said DR. Conley. They are words which
have TO do with the fundamental dealings
Of God with humanity-God electing God
pegotting and God keeping. Great mys-
teries and unsnlved problems exist in ref
oronce to the sun but this does not hinder
US from enjoying the sunshine; so there
should he M hindraucc from us enjoying
The benefits Of the gospel just because there
arc parts which VIC do not understand.
The election by God is the initial work
for humanity and is the fundamental fact
In human relation. God elects TO save man
from sin and set him free from the bondage
Of, sin and TO bring man to a fellowship
with Himself lie sees all from the be-
ginning. all the multiplied operations of the
human lfc. There is nothing arbitrary in
Gods dealings with man. Obedience is
the first conscious thought in your reli-
gious soul II the election OF your life is
not a call to obey. thon you have missed.
God has chosen humanity that It may be
delivered from sin.
When Christ died men lost hope and
when He arose hope arose. To beget Is
synonymous with regeneration to living
hope who can do the will of God? Man,
unaided by divine power cannot do Gods
will. lie will do for us according to the
divine power working within us. God finds
a way into the human heart to work out
the divine gospel God hath begotten US
into a living hope.
What II God hath begotten a new life
within me? What will keep 1t there?
II is kept by the power of God God,
who does the work. will stay by the work
until the end. The freedom of the will
and the sovereignty of God are both be-
lieved. but we must think more of the
latter than we do. We are weakness itself,
but kept by the power of God are in n
good way. God has invested so much in
us that He cannot afford to give us up.
II God be with us, who can be against us?'

inevitable result will be- the income tax.
The supreme court has ruled against its
constitutonality, but new decision I'm the
future may be otherwise II necessary the
constitution will have to he amended in
this particular also This method seems to
me the most equitable way for making the
wealthy contribute their just share towards
the support Of the government. When the
time comes for the imposition of the tax
much wealth that now escapes through
subterfuge will be forced to bear its burden.
We do not need TO look abroad for in
stances. From our own city several 'ciu-
zens OF the world have graduated. who re-
side elsewhere and pay MS a visit once a
year or so to clip the coupons from their
mortgages. They are not taxed here or
any place else for the bulk of what they

ROUNDING UP THE SUSPECTS
Result Is One Man Believed TO Have
Been Implicated In Recent
Robberies.

As a result Of their efforts to put an
end TO the series of small burglaries
which have taken place during the last
week. the police now believe they have
at least one OF the thieves behind the
bars. Among the suspicious characters
brought in by Detectives Ferris and Dunn
Saturday was one who gave his name as
Charles Wilson and upon whose person
was found articles which have been iden-
titled as having been stolen from the
Twenty-second street houses robbed last
week. Captain Mostyn is positive that
Wilson is implicated in some OF the
burglaries committed recently i'm Omaha
and thinks that he may have a companion.
although this Wilson denies, He says that
he came from Los Angeles only a week
ago and that he has been rooming in Coun-
ell Bluffs.
The first report OF housebreaking 10 come
in at the police station last night was that
Of II. Bowman, lOos South Twenty-ninth
street. The story reads the same as those
of the other burglaries, the family being
away for the evening, returning 10 find
that the house had been broken into. In
this case entrance was secured by forcing
a window with a jimmy. A search re-
vealed the fact that $40 in money and a
watch had been secured by the robber.

LIFELONG REVEALS ARE NEEDED
Pastor of Second Presbyterian Talks
of Spiritual RejuvenatiOn.


of Spiritual Regeneration.
Rev. Newman Hall Burdick, pastor of the
Second Presbyterian church, made an earn
est appeal Sunday morning in his sermon
for revival OF Christianity. He was not
referring so much to revivals as they are
generally understood, but one that will
reach the souls of every one of Gods crea-
lures and go on, every day, until the end
OF time: revival that will start with the
present generation of children at the fam
fly altar and go on from generation to gem
Grafton until the whole earth shall offer
praises to and serve the God on high.

people may rejoice?" the scriptural
text chosen by the minister. Rev. Mr.. Bur-
dick answered those who would decry perl
odical REVEALS as being only spasmodic in
their results, by saying that where genu'
Inc work of grace has been wrought in a re-
vival the general spiritual standard of a
community is raised.

pray for a revival in Christianity. / want
a revival of religion that God may be glori-
fed and that His power and glory may be

vival that we all may be stamped perma-
nently with the image of God and that we
may not be taken for counterfeits. want
a revival that all churches In general. and
ours in particular. may accomplish our
work easily and effectively. We must try
TO build up the kingdom Of God and save
the lost rather than merely try to build up

the church to save lost souls. I want a re-

BUTCHER DISAPPOINTED IN PAPER
Incident at His Church Exaggerated
Greatly, He Suys.

It was reported that Rev S. d. butcher
was TO preach a sermon on 1.-THE Hellishness
OF the Press" Sunday morning at the First
Christian church. This did not prove true
when I wish to make fool Of myself
from the pulpit, I shall announce it in
the papers beforehand" said Mr.. butcher.
Mr.. butcher did refer to a story in
the World Herald regarding an unpleasant
ness which arose when the Oliphant sisters,
holding nightly services at the church, re-
quired the women to remove their hats
and to leave their babies at home. He saiu
the facts were so distorted that there was
scarcely any truth in the account. Some
one had torn her dress in removing her hat,
but IL was not Mrs. butcher. as the paper
stated. Neither had Mr.. butcher nor the
church board shown any undue impatience
with the evangelists. They did not intend
to make the evangelists leave the church.
and the meetings were now progressing
smoothly, the women having agreed to
leave their babies at home and sit in church
with their hats off.
Mr.. butcher said he had been approached
by Mr.. Jones of the World-Herald, to
whom he said that most of the stories
about the affair were untrue, but in spite
of his statement the paper had printed
the story.
Whatever differences there may have been
between the evangelists and the officers OF
the church had been patched up. The sis
tiers are holding meetings each night, and
the women sit with their hats off, leaving

revelation. God has revealed Himself in
His Incarnate Son. He is the real Messiah,
the living and true voice of God; the
perfect person Of His Son. This is what we
mean by the perfect man. He is the final
and complete revelation. and by Him moth
ing was left undone to accomplish man
salvation.
In His boyhood and manhood Christ
manifested the perfect spirit Of self-abne-
cation. He was free from self-praise and
avoided publicity. They tried to raise Him
to an earthly throne but He accepted the
cross. We cannot be like Christ unless
we are willing to endure suffering for His
sake. We must appropriate His methods
to our spiritual needs. and we will read the
experiences of His life in vain unless we
apply them to ourselves"
