WHY DO CHRISTIANS FAIL
BY Not Doing What They Know to Be
Right Rev. ]. B, Cherry.
cHRlsT, CORNERSTONE OF RIGHT ACIMN
Knowing His VIII and DisobeyinE IL
is the Great Thing wherein
the Child of God
Fails.

why DO Christians Fair" was the sub
ject Of the discou Of Rev. J. b. Cherry
at the Third Presbyterian church Sunday
morning.
He that knoweth good and doeth 1t not
oommitteth sin, is axiom pronounced
in James iv:17, by Paul, and 1t is as ap-
plicable today as IT was twenty centuries
ago." said Rev. Mr.. Cherry. 1T is the
knowledge Of doing and our doing not
OF good that causes Christians to fail in
Gods work.
Men have studied and expounded great
systems Of philosophy, yet they have done
nothing for human kind or their fellow
men, Christ is the great Person, the
King of Kings, the Lord Of Lords. In
Him we live, move and have our being
Thus knowing what He wills to be done
and falling or neglecting to do It is the
great thing wherein we fail Christians
God has written His law upon the flesh
less tablets Of our hearts. The child has
an inherent or instructive knowledge OF
wrong doing. God has implanted that
knowledge in the simple heart of the
child and It is our duty to cultivate that
seed Of good rather than let It blossom into
wrong doing through environment and neg
lect.
THE man who has found Christ must
tell II to someone else that he may find
Him also. The true Christian cannot help
doing so, and. knowing this. he sins in not
doing It.
There is always a witness at our side
TO testify to our wrong-dolngs when we
come to the judgment bar This is our
conscience. 1t will bear witness for or
against us. When we reject Christ this
witness will testify against US. This wit
ness knows something Of Gods law and
will always testify to the truth This
witness is ever trying to dissuade you
from doing something doubtful. It is your
thoughts that are constantly striving to
condemn or excuse one another
Learn to laugh amid your sorrows.
Seek Christ and teach others to seek Him,
but above all, teach your children to seek
Him. The greatest calamity that can
befall parents is to be so situated as to
turn their children over to someone else
to be led to Christ.
"Our greatest sin is to omit doing things
which God asks us to do and which we
know we should do. When one says he
cannot give much, II Is but the beginning
Of giving nothing. Give what you can, and
giving little by little today you will give
more tomorrow. Do not go back on
Christ. We fail because we do not per-
form the things we know that are right"

..Northern LIghtso at the Burwood.

NJ NhG huEWOOus
Comedy, drama and tragedy are whole
somely combined in Northern Lights"
which is presented by the Woodward Stock
company this week at the Burwood The
play is based on the massacre OF General
Custer on the. Little Big Horn in June,
1876, and It is full of action and dramatic
situations, and the audience is kept keyed
up to high tension which is relieved only
by some clever comedy of the kind that
amuses without firing. The plot admits Of
a fair distribution of the important parts
among the various members of the COM
pany.
Albert Morrison takes the part Of John
swiftwind, an educated Indian and assist.
ant surgeon at Fort Terry. There is a
good deal of the tragic in the part and
klr. Morrison does 1t we'll. Miss Elliott has
the role Of Florence Sherwood, the victim
OF a marriage of convenience, a deeply
emotional part. Jack Fowler, as her hus-
band, Sidney Sherwood, has the role of the
villain, and though a little inclined to
overact the part gives a good interpreta-
| tion Of the character. John Davies, Harry
| Long, Grant Simpson, John Todd and
Charles Schofeld among the men are cast
in important parts, the last named very
naturally furnishing the lions share of
the comedy as a New York tenderfoot.
Mary Hill takes the part of Helen Dare
and interprets It well. Isadore Martin
utilities her sprightliness in the role OF
Dorothy Dunbar and Marie Hudson dis.
plays new talents as Starlight, an Indian
maiden.
The stirring incidents around General
Crooks headquarters furnish plenty OF in
cident and the background OF the play IL
naturally military in nature. Aside from
this the plot, while not deep is Of a
character to sustain interest throughout
The scenic effects have been we'll looked
after. From this standpoint the last act
one scene OF which depicts the last stand
OF Colonel Grey's regiment and the sensa.
tional rescue at the pivotal time. is strong
est. The rest OF the staging is also Good.

RABBIT SUFFERS FOR WOLF
Bunny Gets in Front Of Army Locking for
His Friend.
MILLION MEN AND BOYS WITH GUNS
PrOvvI Around East Omaha with
Heavy ARTILLERY and No Wolf
In Ten Miles of the
Battery.

Dre'r Rabbit had to suffer for the sins
OF Brer Wolf in East Omaha Sunday
when the farmers aroused in their wrath
to exterminate the wolves and called upon
the sportsmen Of Omaha to come to their
assistance. The Omaha hunters came, to
the number of 200, and all took different
kinds of rifles and guns and blunder-
busses to the number of about 200, besN IS
the dogs. Every conceivable kind of high
and low bred dog was there in the hope Of
getting a chance TO mix IT up with some
crippled wolf, but no opportunity was Of
fered, for the wolves all heard the hunt
ers we're coming Ga dead wolf could have
heard it) and crossed the lake on the ice
which had formed during the last week.
Not a wolf was killed, although several
stories were afoat of wounded wolves
which got away, but wounded wolf stories
don't go any more than FISH stories, and
as the goods were not delivered the farm
ers are stiIl in just as much danger as they
were before the great hunt was organ
tied.
The call was issued to gather at James
Cuthilrs and Tom Anderson's places at 8
o'clock Sunday morning and many an am
bilious youth was on hand promptly at
the appointed time. Others came strag-
BAuB diOHb WIN NilNlA guns anu hOBo
until at about 1890 200 were congregated
and a start was made. A hunting circle
was formed and clean sweep made Of the
wolf-infested region, but nary" wolf
showed up.
Boys with Rifles Big as They.
Some boys were there with rifles as big
as themselves, and they amused them
selves by seeing how big a tree they could
make the rife ball go through, while 9TH
ers shot at everything else in sight.
Watt Gumb, assisted by r. H. Brown,
had his splendid fox hounds, Red and Kit
and Alice and Lead but these were unable
| to get on a live trail. An amusing sight
was furnished when six mighty hunters
sat down to rest beneath the shade Of a
large cottonwood tree AS they sat and
| discussed the relative merits Of different
| snake bite cure a lone rabbit. hearing the
noise, approached to see what was going
on He came close to the sextette and
| then stopped and sat up. Six guns were
soon in readiness and six mighty hunters
fred at the lone rabbit, but Bre'r Rabbit
sidestepped all six and got away. Most
of the hunters, however, returned laden
/ with rabbits. So great was the success
on rabbits that It was arranged for James
| Cuthill to issue call for the hunters to
assembly again when the snow came and
| the rabbits could be tracked.

sIkntinE ON the Laken.

The lakes around Omaha were covered
with skaters Sunday, although the ice was
but two and half inches thick. The
skating was not very good on some Of the
park lakes. but at Cut-off a splendid sur
face was presented to those who enjoy a
glide over the frozen water. Hundreds
were at Cut-off and the little lakes which
surround II, but It was not very safe for
more than two or three to gather in one
place, as an omiuous cracking was sure
to be heard. which warned all TO move on.

The Maid and the Mummy" abounds
in clever jests and fun Of an unadulterated
sort. 1t doesn't propose anything for
thought, nor does IL undertake to satirize
anything 1t is just occasion for laughter
with a lot Of good music thrown In. II
reflects Richard Carle's merriest humor,
and Robert Hood Bowers has set to It tunes
that are in full accord with its spirit, light
and iingling melodies that slip In with the
mood and make the affair one Of pleasure.
Earl Warren Is still at the head of the
fun makers Of the company, and as Bolivar
the property man and afterward the
Mummy, he is an immense hit Messrs.
Dewey and Groh are able seconds, and
the three together produce about as many
laughs as any trio seen here in long time.
Joe Edmunds is also clever as Macswat
and sings his Gee, Amt It Great to Be
Crazy song with much gusto.
Elizabeth Spencer, a newcomer, is the
Trixie Evergreen Of the present cast and
in appearance fills the bill very well. Her
voice is not very strong, but is sweet and
pure, while her manner is captivating. Miss
Burnham sings her share Of the popular
FLO" song with great finish. Miss Harris
adds much to the general merriment as
Muggsy, the girl with a romantic nature.
The chorus is numerous and ranges in ap-
pearance and age about from one end to
the other Of the gamut. All can sing,
though, and each works as II It were fun
to do stunts they are asked to do.
The Boyd theater was fairly we'll filled
last night to welcome the company, which
will stay over this evening, repeating the
performance.

Vaudeville at the orpheum.

Vaudeville at the Orpheum.
It's a good bill at the Orpheum this week
Singing and dancing predominate, but suf-
ficiently varied to prevent its becoming
monotonous. The Vassar Girls are featured
and present pleasing novelty. Miss Lyle
plays with much taste a number of airs
on the violin. and was warmly appauded
yesterday. Miss Cree whistles well, and the
company unites in a stately dance that is
illuminated by a novel and artistic ar
rangement of electric lights that produces
most pleasing effect. Klein and Clifton
are doing a new act this season that Is
well though out and affords an opportunity
for some original effects. THE Dummy's
Holiday" is the name they have given it,
and It faily we'll tells the tale. II is good.
Raffayette's dogs are ahead of anything
yet shown in the dog line. doing many new
feats and all of them good. One dog on
his hind legs walks up and down steps, one
foot at time, just as a human being
would. Another shows wonderful muscular
development of the forelags and performs
some stunts that look to be impossible,
The Zazells and Vernon company present
again their pantomimio turn, THE Elope-
ment," in which there is much occasion for
laughter and some good gymnastic work
| The Swor brothers are clever comedians
and good dancers, and make their turn en-
| joyable. Willie Eckstein plays tine plano
with skill beyond his years. Black and
Jones are a pair of colored dancers who
more than redeem the promise of the bill,
which designates them as dancing comed-
ians." The kinodrome has some good pic
lures

Better Demand For Good Business
Glasses Than in July.
Chicago, July 11.-Traders along the
line are realizing the better demand
for horses than usual at this time of
year than was anticipated last week.
While arrivals for the first two days
this week are above 1,10O head, there is
very ready outlet both at auction and
retail sale for the good, sound, service
able horses Of nearly every class. AS
Is customary in hot weather, the de-
mand is most urgent for the useful
midsummer horse. That means horse
that is right ready to put into, hard
work. Buyers show q decided prefer
ence for the horse that gives evidence
or having been in active service over
the stabilized or grassy horses that are
too green to put into business right
now. Owing to the cooler weather
that has been prevailing in most big
cities fewer horses have been lost than
usual this year, but a demand above
the average for this time of year Is
now In evidence from there and active
chunks and bushes horses are selling
freely at prices only little off the
range of sales late in June. There is
good outlet for young feeders, trad
ers in general anticipating very fav-
orable market for all good, big horses
for the fall trade. Small and inferior
blemished stock is selling with difficult
ty, but all offerings that show good
quality are selling very satisfactorily
for midsummer trade.
Receipts of horses for the first two
days this week at 1,103 head stand
against 907 head the same time last
Week, S41 head same time last year
and. $40 head two years ago. July re-
ceipts to date are 1895 head, showing
gain of 1918 head on arrivals for
same time in July last year.
Total receipts Of horses for the year
to date at 1909 head stand head
over the total for the same time last
wear.
