WAY OF THE CROSS THE ONLY WAY

other Roads Lead to other Crowns
Than that of Heaven.
Rev. John F. Poucher, pastor Of Seward
Street Methodist Episcopal church. yester-
day morning delivered an interesting dis
course on 1.-THE Cross" Rev. Mr.. Poucher
explained that while worldly crowns are
sometimes won by mere chance or CHI
canery, there is but one way to the heav-
emily crown. and that is through the cross
OF Jesus Christ.
1.-THE cross has long been symbolical Of
life. Historians agree that the cross on
which the Savior was crucified was made
OF the tree of, life" the minister said.
Jesus has told us to take up His Cross
and follow Him daily. Today the cross
of Christ means immortal life. To every
true Christian It means sacrifice, devotion
and life everlasting. by obedience to the
laws of God. We must bear the cross to
receive the crown. Luck and fortune play
a part in worldly affairs, but In the spirit
ual life there is no such thing as chance,
Jesus takes no advantage OF mems ig-
nOrance, and He sets forth in plain and
unmistakable language that everyone must
deny himself and take up mrs cross. There
are no favored ones-there is the one Me

and that IL by the cross.
ITO bear the cross means to forsake false
pride. love Of case, unforgiveness; TO bear
ridicule and persecution and to sacrifice
comfort. Religion calls for activity. No
man can be a follower OF Christ II he has
no cross 20 bear. True men and women
find a spirit that Is kindred with the
Master. This cross you ana 1 must bear
must be borne as individuals. Some may
try to help us, but after all IT Is the
individual heart that must suffer the pains
of tribulation or pulsate with the joys
of the Christian. To win this incorrupuble
crown of heaven we must live lives OF
intense interest and must count nothing
of greater value than christ's favor. We
should be able to sing from the heart. In
the cross OF Christ glory. towering Ger

MAN MUST BE JUST WITH MAN

Square Dealing Cardinal Principle In
the TRANSACTIONS OF Life.
The words spoken by the Prophet Micah
to the Israelites over 2600 years ago and
which have since been perpetually en-
blasoned in the dome OF the Congressional
library at washington, What doth the
Lord require of thee but to do Justly, TO
love mercy and TO walk humbly with thy
God?" were the text OF the sermon Sun
day morning at the First Congregational
church by Rev. Guy w. Wadsworth. d. D.,
president OF Bellevue college. The pulpit
was filled by DR. Wordsworth on account
OF the departure of the former pastor, Rev.
Hubert c. Herring. d. D., TO enter upon
his new duties at New York.

requirements Of men," said DIT. Wadsworth.
1T tells us practically all that God requires
Of you and me. For we live in the midst
OF world when men sometimes forget the
the necessity. nay the privilege. of walking
humbly with their God. The world will
never grow old enough to grow away from
this kind Of gospel-let us do Justly. This
is an age of the squares deal, which is
referred to in our text. A square deal in
business in politics, in government, in all
the relations between man and man. First,

of God and man. Just weights and meas

rs Christ Increasing in His Church?'
was the topic OF the Sunday morning
sermon by Rev. J. w. Conley Of the First
Baptist church, who took as his text the
words Of John. when he said, HE must
increase, but / must decrease" Although
John was an extraordinary character, when
the Savior came the multitude turned from
John to Christ. John explained that was
what he intended should happen, and said
He must increase. but must decrease
John saw that the needs OF the world were
that Christ should have a large place In
the thoughts of men,
Christ is influencing philosophy and all
great educational movements and benevo-
lent institutions which had practically no
existence until Christ appeared. The case
Of every individual depends upon the grow
ing OF Christ within.
'Ts there a growing recognition Of Christ
in His church? Some say yes, and some
say no. We are justified in saying yes If
there is a growing unity among Gods
people. The burden of Christ's heart was
the unity Of His people. Christ cannot be
the author OF discord, and II He had His
proper place in the church there would not
be $50 denominations and divisions in this
country. Whatever may be the difference
in creed. II we have the spirit of Christ
we will be brothers in Christ.
'"The principal difference in creed Is
simply a difference IN principle Christ
came to bear witness Of truth. II should
not be question OF what Luther or Calvin
say, but OF what Christ says. If we would
all come TO the central thought of magnify
ing Christ we would be better on.
"The churches Of God are drawing closer
together and less and less separates the
different denominations. The movement 10

front But unity TO be permanent must be
based on Christ. II church loses sight
of the central thought OF Christ its works
will fail.
MANY do not appreciate the Importance
: Of the gathering held here week before
last One thousand laymen Of the Presby-

was the providence of that church to
{ evangelize 100000 heather at a cost of
100000 a year and to try to finish the
work during the life Of the present genera
ton. Why not? The churches are being
filled and inspired with the spirit of evan
gelization. It means Christ is increasing.

brotherhood Day Observed at walnut
Hill Methodist.
The services CT the Walnut Hill Meth
odist church yesterday were in the inter-
ests Of the Wesley brotherhood.
The morning service was given to the
mems work. The sermon was preached
by the pastor. Rev e. e. Hosman
''That men have possibilities to advance
the work Of the church distinct from those
of women is indicated by history" said
Rev. Mr.. BOSNIAN. THE first announce
ment of the advent of Christ was given
to men; Christ chose men for his apostles;
with the early church the masculine ele-
ment was very pronounced; and since then
the strong movements have been cham
pioned and marshalled by men. A passive,
monastic, feminine type of religion has
never appealed to men.
THE underlying principle of the brother
hood is to emphasize the masculine ele-
ment In church work. This mems move
ment is fast becoming worldwide. The
pioneer in this is the Brotherhood Of st.
Andrew, organized in 1888, and Is confined
exclusively to the Episcopal church. The
Brotherhood OF Andrew and Philip was
started In 1883 and is now interdenomina-
ti0nal, represented in twenty-three different
communions. In Methodism, prior to 1893.
there were twelve or more different brother
hoods. These have been merged into two,
the ST. Paul's, with 900 chapters and 5000
pembers. and the Wesley. with 500 chap
tiers and 1000 members. The Mems League
OF the United Presbyterian and Presby-
terrain Brotherhood Of America of the Pres
byterian church were both organized last
year.
Through these brotherhoods men have
their greatest possibilities to advance the
work OF the church, said Mr.. Hosman.
They can become trained force behind
the pastor; help men into the church and
TO Christ; interest and hold young men to
the church and Sunday school; increase
sociability among men; and the church
with their business ability. push forward
general movements and deepen the spiritual
interests"

PLAN TO SPOT THE THIEF
Police Hereafter Will Arrest Every
Person in Resort Where
Person il Robbed.

When Joseph W. Hines of Council BLUFFS
reported to the police that he lost $1.S5 at
1924 Capitol avenue by illegitimate means
at the hands of colored people, but admit
ted he would be unable to distinguish one
black face from another, the police put
into practice a new plan of handling in
mates of resorts where unsophistcated Wis
itors are robbed of money, and arrested
every person found within, Sunday. The
new plan was decided upon because Of the
difficulty in convicting guilty colored per-
sons charged with picking pockets, because
of the lack Of identification, the idea being
to charge the prisoners with being inmates
or keepers of disorderly houses in cases OF
doubtful Identification.
Matte Jackson was arrested charged with
keeping the house and four others were
locked up for being inmates.

man was forced upon me by the mayor or
council"
1t win be claimed that the power to
purchase necessary materials and supplies
for the department by the engineer is a
dangerous power. careful examination
Of the bill will show that all purchases
must be made by advertising for bids upon
the same, and It is only after competitive
bids are received that the award can be
made and that must be 10 the lowest
bidder. There is absolutely no chance to

work, because all these acts must be per-
formed as required by law and a record
whether for material or labor or men,
must pass through the comptroller's hands
and then be approved by the mayor and
council before II is finally paid. Eighty
per cent Of all the bills paid by the city
and certified to by the engineer are for
work done under contract-there is no
change In the procedure with reference TO
acting on such bills in the new law from
the laws that have been in existence ever
since 1881 All estimates of the engineer
must be sent to the mayor and city council
for approval and then they must go through
the hands OF the city comptroller, who is
required to keep special account with
each contractor, so that the so-called revO-
luton In the system in reality relates only
to a very small percentage of the expendl-
lures OF the city. and that only affects
the day laborers engaged on repair work
and street sweeping. and they must call
for their pay and receipt for the same,
as the engineer handles no money and Is
not their paymaster.
