Clarke sin Is the voluntary yielding Of

either on the debit or credit side Of the

something wrong with his business. We

us with God Our soul Is a complicated
machine, but we've got to know what is
the trouble 1t won't do to give little
superficial look If the general aspects are
right. We've got to get down to the fine
points. Take the word Of God and try
your life by It, for II is the best test posi-

PROBLENS OF CHILDHOOD
Questions Discussed BY Judges Kennedy

WORK OF THE JUVENILE COURTS
Nearly Twelve Hundred Cases Dis
posed of Last Year-EnfOrco-
ment of Truancy Law
Urged.

Judge Kennedy Of the Juvenile court and
Judge Sutton, who formerly presided over
that tribunal. occupied the pulpit at the
First Methodist church last night and
talked on the subject Of The Problems OF
Childhood" This was the third Of a series
OF discussions started by Rev. Frank Love
land OF that church, coming under the
head OF Problems OF the Twentieth Cen
tury." The Rev. Loveland opened the
meeting in a brief speech and introduced
the first speaker Judge Kennedy OF the
Juvenile court He began by saying that
It is the right Of every child to have its
mental. material and spiritual wants sup
piled by somebody. and II is the province
OF the Juvenile court to attend TO these
things in cases where the parents or
guardians either cannot or WILL not
There are three classes Of children with
whom the Juvenile court has to deal" he
said, The dependent, the neglected and
the delinquent. During the last year
have had in my court 1.156 children, 40 Of
whom were dependent 404 neglected and $40
delinquent OF the delnuuents sol we're
boys and ninety were girls. We have found
homes for Ill during the year, fifteen are in
the 81. James orphanage and twelve In the
Child Saving institute. We have now six
or eight babies in the Detention home Tru-
anoy Is the first step toward making a
criminal. and, therefore, too much stress
cannot be put upon the Importance Of
rigid enforcement of the truancy laws"
Judge suttOn's Address.
Judge Sutton said: I'VE are a nation OF
specialists. The government specializes in
the weather, In crops, In live stock; II has
a specialist in almost every branch of in
dustry, and yet 1t never gave any attention
to the raising OF children-which really is
the most important crop of live stock we
have. As individuals we havens given the
attention to the matter we should, not even
to the raising of our own. There are 1900
men and women sent TO our penitentiaries
every year, and 1000 are turned out an
nually to send their offspring into society
and the only way to stop this endless chain
is to get hold Of the children. The trouble
is we have waited until crime has become
full grown instead Of nipping 1t when 1t
was taking root"
The speaker thought the child labor law
enacted in this state was a long step In the
right direction and that our Juvenile laws
were among the very best in the union

SUNDAY WORK NOT GOOD FOR MAN

Rev. DR.. BAIRD Says . Day of Rest
in SIX IL Needed.
Rev Lucius O. Baird, pastor Of the st.
Mary's Avenue Congregational church, yes
terday morning touched on the Sunday
labor question from a civil standpoint,
holding that Sunday in modern Industrial
life Is not a religious question. Under the
specious plea Of necessity. Sunday is being
exploited for mere gain, with many attend
ing dangers to the present and growing
generations, Rev. Mr.. Baird declared. and
he affirmed that the open Sunday question
will be a live issue for a long time TO
come and men are beginning to see that
continuous labor will lead to a state Of
physical degeneration.
During his OBSCURE the minister made
the following statement 1.-THE Sabbath
was not made for God or the church, but
for man. Sunday is mans most valuable
asset, from either a physical or spiritual
standpoint. am now speaking as a citl-
zen and a worker TO my fellow workers,
leaving for another occasion a considera-
ton OF the spiritual side Of the question.
Sunday without work is necessary for man
a physical being Money making amuse-
ments have led to continued work in other
fields. We are living in a machine age
and the danger is that we may lose the
distinction between labor necessary for
the protection and preservation Of capital
and labor required for creation OF wealth.
The tendency has been to turn out goods
with remorseleBs regularity.
THE present day interdependence of men
is more sharply defined than ever before.
Whether a man works on Sunday depends
on whether his associates work, We must
guard against opening the door to the
camel's head, under the pretext Of neces-
sty, lest we find on the cancels back
profits
The minister referred to reports showing
that men have worked better and accom-
plished more in six days than by working
seven. AS citizens. he said, all should aim
to put a stop to as much servile work on
Sunday as Is possible, and in works for
the protection Of capital a working week
should be provided for. He declared that
the Sunday professional base ball games
and theaters cannot be defended on the
level Of common humanity. The money
making Sunday he said, will lead to moral
and physical degradation.

Dr. Johnston had been selected by the
Presbyterian Board OF Foreign Missions to
make tour Of the world in the interest

terry became possessed Of the property at
Ninth and Farnam streets that formerly
belonged to Mrs. William Thaw. and which
was subsequently sold, thus affording q
nucleus for the present theological semi

DR.. Johnston spoke from the text i14:
''The word was made the flesh" He said
IN part:
THE Protestant lands are the living ma
lions and exemplify the fullest illustration
OF the gospel OF Jesus Christ IN It's purity.
At the beginning OF the nineteenth century
the proportion OF church members through
out the world was l to 10, at the begin
ming OF the twentieth century II was l in

nineteenth century II was In 10, and at the

colleges the vast proportion Of teachers
are Christian men.

mission at Hang Chow, China, in which
you people Of Omaha are so directly in
terested. The mission is doing a splendid
work, and has a magnificent boys school
and girls school The people there are
clamoring for the gospel Enough work Is
there for ten men, yet only one man is
doing It. The pastor receives a salary Of
$50 in gold, and he is one OF the best and
brainiest preachers in central China. He
has but recently been offered thrice the
salary he is receiving by the Chinese gov
eminent TO enter it's service, but he prefers
20 do the Masters work. Another young
man who has embraced the Christian faith
there has been offered thrice the money
ne receives from the mission to enter the
work Of the government. But he has re-
fused the OFFER, as he believes that the re-
demption of China Is the gospel. You peo-
pie here do not know anything at all about

All funds not wanted for circulating the

told how 1t was started about sixty years
ago, a purely American idea. He ans
wered the question, "Why should I be-

for the benefits you may receive yourself.
but for the opportunity It affords you to
extend benefits to others" In relating
what ills there are to be remedied, he
mentioned the Jewish expressions abroad
and the evils which arise from the con-
gestion in the large cities where newly

see It in religion, among the different

see 1t in trade ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the

message was that every person is able to
do something If he will lay all small
differences aside and join in the work
This should not be an order of the

Zionists; 1t should be a brotherhood Of all
