SPEED NOT HIGHEST DESIRE
Fast Trains Less Demanded Than
Regular Schedules. says Han
son OF Illinois Central.

Il am OF the opinion that what the pub
lie relishes more than fast time IL trains
being on time" Passenger Trafic Manager
Hanson OF the Illinois Central road said
In discussing the speed craze. Adherence
to schedules IL the thing to be aimed at
he continued. American strenuosity has
Influenced the railroads to reduce the run
ming time OF trains to a point that In
many instances Is inconsistent with con-
sentative and careful management.
"A train keyed to It's best has no chance
to make up time lost on account OF the
delays incident to a "trip OF even a couple
or hundred miles. consequently time lost
is seldom regained During the last few
years there has been a feeling on the part
OF many railroad men that they must put
last schedules on time cards even IL they
cannot adhere to them. II a road Is not
in physical condition TO make forty miles
an hour IL would be more to its advantage
TO make thirty-hve miles an hour. as II
finally becomes known that such a road Is
attempting the impossible and the public
acts accordingly. The average passenger
would prefer to use a train OF ordinary
speed with the assurance 1t will arrive at
Its destination on time. The Flyer may
look nice on a colored folder. but when
the passenger comes TO understand that
the Flyer flies with one wing broken he
begins to figure on the road that does not
promise so much, but gets there regu-
larry.
TO illustrate: Our road has been brought
10 such satisfactory physical condition
that we could operate a train between
Chicago and New Orleans in eighteen
hours But what would be gained? We
would be doing our utmost under favor
able conditions. II conditions were UNI
favorable we might he late, which would
cause dissatisfaction. Under our present
schedule. reasonable one for 923 miles,
we make the time and our patrons know
Just what to expect. This policy. 1 be-
lieve, will win in the long run and the
public will approve It." .....

a plea for the interest in the work of the

IF ] were horse" said Rev. Frank
Lafayette Ioveland at the First Methodist
church Sunday morning. I'D want my
owner 70 be a Christian. " were a dog
anything else than a poodle, I'd want my
master 70 be Christian; n ! were
poodle. should know I'd he better taken
care Of than the children. anyway
To ali appearances these remarks were
for the purpose OF introducing a little leviy
into the situation at q point where the
audience, at least the feminine part OF II,
had been made rather uncomfortable by
the trend of the minister's discourse. He
had just said with much feeling
"The time is coming whom your descend
ants will be ashamed that you women wore
thousands OF feathered songsters on your
hats"
Or. Loveland's sermon was on The
Coming OF the Sons of God" He held that
nature is inseparably linked with man
kind; IL man is degraded. nature is de-
graded. every flower that blooms feels the
blow that strikes down man, and every
bird that sings and every beast OF the
forest feels the downfall OF a race and also
feels the uplift Of a race.
Look at Palestine" said the speaker,
To-day there is no rose on Sharon: no
vines bring forth their purple clusters as
they did when sons Of God dwet there.
Look at the old campagna at Rome. once
the most fertile spot in the world. What
ruined II? Slavery began TO gnaw at the
vitsls OF the race, and when the Romans
became degraded the campagns was
blasted. II sends forth nniasma and feyers.
Nature suffered in the downfall Of man.
when Man Rises Nature Smiles.
But when man rises, nature smiles. The
poor crab apple asks man to make IL into
a golden pippin, and IL Is done; there is not
r wild rose but appeals to man to trans
form II into an American Beauty; not a
piece of crude iron but calls TO man to
make IL into some part of a machine. We
ought not TO judge nature by what it is,
but by what it is capable OF.
II remember when a boy I read I'm my
geography of the Great American Desert.
Well. when the Choctaws and Comanches
roamed there it was a desert. but with the
coming OF the sons of God the desert was
redeemeS and now yields sbundantly. I
believe there is no desert spot I'm Arizona
hut is waiting for the coming of the sons
of God TO transform IL.
"Oh, the possibilities that are I'm nature
when the sons OF God begin their rule!
When that time comes for all the earth
we'll have no longer to feed famine sur
ferers in the valley OF the Ganges. Let
that time come and India will pour out
riches from cornucopia."
The sermon was a preliminary to DR..
I.oveland's closing remarks, in which he
sought to impress his hearers with the i'm
portance OF missionary work. and appealed
10 them to take an interest in the delibera-
lions of the secretaries Of the Women's
Foreign Missionary society of the Metho-
dist church, who will meet this week in the
First church.

The necessity and Efficacy Of prayer,
particularly az applied TO tho Torroy-
oliver mission to he held az the Auditorium
this fall. was the line of thought touched
on by Rev Newman Hall Burdick, ID. D..
In his sermon at the Second Presbyterian
church yesterday morning
DR. Burdick went back into B,blcal his
tory and referred TO the children OF Israel
when they were In captivity at Babylon
aud when Got said to them. II will for
this be inquired" that OF making Israel a
great nation.
God wanted Israel to pray for those
things it would have and lie today wants
his children TO pray" said the minister
while It is in Gods plan to bring about
great things it also Is In His plan that
the people should pray for those things
God would have everyone who has ex-
pressed allegiance to Him pray for mani
festation OF the Holy Spirit. There is
plenty OF evidence in the Bible and even
in our own time He answers prayers for
a revival. What we mean by revival IL
a manifestation OF the Holy Spirit. which
we do not see In Omaha today. Nothing
would more glorify Omaha today than z
rallying OF those who have protested the
name of Christ. We have encouragement
for this revival because Christ died for a
revival OF the world and that the world
might be brought to God.
III we neglect prayer God will hold us
responsible. Now is the time for prayer
and now is the time for revival. God is
always willing and ready to answer. To
talk OF when God gets ready and thus
Sinking responsibility is sinful. God is
long-sufferng and not willing that any one
should perish. He will save unto the utter
most all who come unto Him. God de-
mands absolute surrender and we make a
serious mistake to place conditions on that
surrender. Now is the time for all the
people of Omaha to pray for a great re-
vival."
