Application of Rules.

Rev. Mr.. Goshen said that man has ac-
cepted sucn reasoning in every walk Of
life save only the religious. The rules he
applies TO his industrial occupations ne is
afraid to apply to his theology The rea-
son for this, said the preacher, was that
because of ancient traditions man was
prone to expect his belief in the super
natural to come through the channel of
some peculiar reVealment and that all
who did not adhere TO the letter OF such
a revelation were TO be condemned. This
idea, he said, is fast dying out and the
awakening to universally was at hand.
The day of enforced belief, in his opinion
is past and the era Of a study into mat
tiers spiritual and religious IN the calm
light Of reason and science at hand.
Man has only to look about him. said
Rev Mr. Goshen, 'in order to find con
slant and abundant evidence of Gods
love. These evidences are sometimes
murmUred softly through the regularity
of the system of the universe: sometimes
proclaimed loudly, heralded from crag to
crag as a mighty storm progresses, with
terrifying thunder and lightning. There is
no need for man to look further for his
revelations Of the great universal re-
ligion, the reasonable belief of which rests
simply on love to God and to man."

Sermon Broad in Scope.

Mr.. Goshen's sermon contained a phil
OsOphy somewhat new to theology 1t was
broad enough to cover all denominations.
though at the same time il dealt rather
scathingly with sectarian doctrines and
traditions. 1t was as different from the
stereOtyped pulpit sermon as an after
dinner talk Is from a technical scientific
lecture. In matter-of-fact language and
yet with an elOquence that was convinc-
ing, Rev. Mr.. Goshen preached on the
Dawning of Liberaiity."
The religion which Mr.. Goshen would
have his auditors espouse was not a re-
lgiOn coming from peculiar revelations
to certain favored men and peoples, but a
belief arising from the sound reasoning
of the average man. drawn from his ev-
eryday life and from the influence Of his
natural surroundings. Its creed is simply
a love for the Creator and, for fellow
man.
In showing the ressonabIeness of this
liberal doctrine the clergyman argued
from a scientific standpoint He called
attention to the fixed laws of nature. the
immutability of the laws governing the
solar system. the rules established by a
deity controlling the everyday happen
ings and conditions of a human life and
other evidences to prove the existence and
the divinity of the hidden force.

RELIGION OF DAILY LIFE
SECTARIAN DOCTRINES AND
TRADITIONS CRITICISED.

Billboard advertising, religious services
in a theatre and a sermon hardly in ac-
cord with many common beliefs of var
iOus creeds. were features Of the first
pulpit address. delivered from a stage. Of
Rev. Elmer 1. Goshen since his return to
Salt Lake. That the procedure was
somewhat novel for an established cler-
gyman to introduce as an innovation in
the campaign for souls. and the sermon a
departure from the established ecclesi-
astical form, was readily admitted by
everyone in attendance, including Rev.
Mr. Goshen.
The services were held yesterday morn
ing in the Salt Lake theatre. because the
First Congregational church, of which
Mr.. Goshen is the pastor is undergoing
repairs and will not be ready for Occu-
pancy for another month, during which
time the services viii be held each Sun
day at the theatre. Many of Mr.. Gosh
ems congregation and enough others were
present to pack the auditorium of the
theatre. Among these people were q
large number of tourists, attracted by the

Found Daughter Keeping "Bach."

A Lincoln lady who recently visited
the extreme western part of Ne
braska to see her daughter, who has
been engaged in teaching school in
that locality, was greatly shocked to
find that the young lady had been
'baching" it in the schoolhouse, in
stead of boarding in a private family
as the mother had supposed. 1t was
explained to her, however, that this
was no uncommon occurrence in the
west. The accommodations among
the ranchers for taking boarders are
not the best, and the plan of having
the teacher bach is the best way
out of it. The school board is con-
siderate, furnishing cook stove
which does double duty in heating
the school room and preparing the
meals of the teacher. The only ad-
ditional necessity is a pair of bed
springs which can De laid on the
floor at night and leaned up against
the wall with a ''blackboard' attach
ment during the day time. After all,
the plan might not seem so bad to
the matron, but it is rather a sudden
change for a Lincoln high school grad
uate.

The General Thayer Monument.

The contract for the construction
and erection of a monument in men,
ory of General John M. Thayer has
been awarded to Kimball Bros, of
the capital city, and they now have
the work well under way The monu-
ment is to be paid for by the state,
the last legislature having appropri-
ated $1,250 for that purpose. The
contractors will place the monument
for $1,235.
1t is to be of granite, undressed
faces. The base is to be six feet
square, the second base four and
one-half feet square, and the upright
block will be three and one-half feet
square at the bottom and three feet
two inches square at the top, with a
point on top. The height from top
to bottom of base will be ten feet and
ten inches.
On one face will be a bronze tablet
bearing a large profile of General
Thayer and an. inscription, and on
another side will be G. A. R. en-

all motors are run to convey passen-
gers for hire, an ordinance has been
passed imposing fee of $25 year
and a less amount for smaller vehicles
of the same kind. If the state law is
found to prohibit all this, the spectacle
will be presented of cities collecting
an annual license fee from drays,
hacks and other horse drawn vehicles,
but without power to collect any
license fee from any kind of a motor
vehicle. Secretary of State Junkin has
given no Interpretation of the law, but
has forwarded a copy of the law to the
license officer of Omaha.
More Interest for the State.
The announcement has been made
by State Treasurer Brian that the
rate of interest paid for the use of
state funds is to be raised from to
per cent All state funds not invested
in securities are deposited in banks
that give bonds at state repositories,
and the interest goes to the state.
During the last biennium $4,000 in
terest was collected. The same
amount of money on deposit under
the new rate of interest will bring in
$3.50 more. The state treasurer de-
cided to raise the interest rate be-
cause he believes the states money
is worth as much as any bonds
money. The banks pay from 3 to
per cent interest to every depositor
except the state. Treasurer Brian
has applications from good banks that
are willing to pay per cent interest
if he will permit them to become state
repositories He has intention of
farming out state funds to the highest
bidder, but intends to place them with
solid and substantial banks, as has
been the custom in the past. The
state deposits, considering the man
ner in which they are drawn upon,
amount to a time deposit. There is
now $4,000 in the seventy-six de-
positories, and of that sum $325,OOO
is in banks outside of Lincoln and
Omaha, and the treasurer has not
drawn upon the country banks during
the past six months. The treasurer
has a checking account with Lincoln
and Omaha banks. It is believed the
present repositories will nearly all
consent to pay the increased rate

PASSES NUT Be LISTED
Railway Commission Requests Union
Pacific Road to Report on All
Newspaper Contracts in Force
in the State of Nebraska.

Editors of newspapers holding con-
tracts with the Union Pacific railroad
to exchange advertising for transporta-
tion are now to come in for share of
the publicity which as up to this time
been monopolized in large degree by
doctors and lawyers. A letter has
been written from the Office of the
state railway commission to General
Manager A. l.. Mohler advising him
that the Union Pacific has not yet fully
complied with the terms of the recent
order relating to pass lists and asking
him to report on all newspaper con-
tracts which the road has in force in
Nebraska
No other line has been served with
like notice, for the reason that the
railway commission has no knowledge
that any of them are making contracts
with the newspapers. If there is any
one who knows that they are and will
SO apprise the commission, submitting
some basis of fact on which to pro-
ceed, it will call for the contracts and
naems of the signers The railway
board has such information relative
to the Union Pacific. In fact there has
been no effort by the management to
conceal the fact that it is still giving
transportation to newspapers who will
publish it's announcements on that
basis, but for some reason General
| Manager Mohler did not include this
class of contracts in his report.
