At st. Paul's mission, Ely City,
Mr. Hunting took for his text the
words, And now abideth these
three, faith, hope and charity He
said;
The lesson of the church for Quni-
quagesima Sunday is lesson of love.
These three principles of the Chris
tian life laid down by st. Paul are.
really the A B C of Christianity and
of the three the greatest is charity
or as 1t should be more correctly
translated today, love. 1t is estimat-
ed by social workers that 95 per cent
of the men who enter business for
themselves fail at some time or
other. Only per cent OF those con-
fident ones ever attain to the success
for which they labored. The princi-
pies of business, it seems to me. is
that man shall know something
mighty well, that he shall exert him.
self and that he shall be welded to
business. The result is that
man born a man dies a grocer, a.
miner. chemist or whatnot This
is the price of success, that one
loose part of his contact with the
world and become narrow in a cer-l
tain way. He must cruelty every
thing else.
Christianity is business and h|
very important one. Its principles
lead to success. There are many
failures. Many are called but few
are chosen" Narrow is the way and
few there be that go in thereat.
Principles of the Christian business
are faith, hope and charity. Faith
is two fold-the souls trust In God
and that deposit of truth about God
and man that exists. Scripture is
not the truth, but contains the truth.
The Bible says the church is the
pillar and ground of the TRUTH SO
the church's Interpretation of the
truth is the truth for you and me.
But faftr without something Isl
dead, says st. James. st. Paul cou-
pies hope with It. Hope is Christian
aspiration manifested in works. The
Christian starts with a reliance an
Gods truth, and presses forward; 10
that kingdom which we are told the
violent take by force. Mediocrfty
Of Christian character is because Ne
do not press forward and demand
much. Forgetting those things THAT
are behind we should press forward
to the mark. Fancy . mathemafi-
clan going back to prove 2x2 makes
four. He knows that and goes on.

repetitions.- Emphasis was on the
word vain for Christ Immediately
proceeded to give form of prayer
to be used in the future, so he could
not have been speaking against the
repetitions. Prayers too often are
like those of the Pharisees to be
heard of men or else with thought
and vague. We do not give enough
attention to what we are asking for.
There is to be sure what may be
called an interchange of thought Will
almighty God would not speak
against this for it is one of the COM
forts of the souls, but would speak
against the vagueness of our prayers.
In the service of the church we
do and in private we should begin
our prayers with confession of sin
to God. In the general confession we
call ourselves miserable sinners
without any clear idea in our minds
in what particular we have sinned.
We should carefully prepare by self
examination for such an utterance
whether in public or private. We
should have our definite sins before
us when we approach the throne of
grace. We should habftuate our
selves to distinct and definite review
of our acts and thoughts, Each night
we should go over the day carefully
and try to remember the things we
have done or said that we should not
have done or said, and the things
we have left undone that should have
been done. Confession of sin and
its necessary corollary prayer for
forgiveness is of the past, that ire
trievable and ineffaceable past. 1
sometimes think that we have the
past ever with us as sort of pun
ishment even after we have been
forgiven. TIE past is milestone
around the neck of each of us.
Prayer has also to do with the fu-
ture. The context of my text tells
of the blind man near Jericho who
when he heard the commotion OF
many passing by as the cause and was
told that Jesus was passing by and
he called out and pleaded that the
Son of David would have mercy
upon him." Our prayer should be
for the mercy of God. There is prof
piation possible on our part of GOD
for the sins we have committed. We
must depend absolutely upon the
mercy that is extended to us. The
blind beggar also asked that he
might receive his sight The lesson
for us in this instance is that in an
swer to the question of Christ, What
will thou that l shall do for thee?"
we shall make answer as did the
blind beggar. We shall plead for
mercy at the judgment seat for the
sins of omission and of commission.
And that we may have help in time
of need. The need of the beggar was
sight. Our needs are many and
when we pray let us be definite and
ask for what we really need for the
life of today. The season of Lent
on which we are entering is time
in which we may examine ourselves
and see what we need and wherein
we must plead for mercy.

Omaha daily bee., 1908-10-22

OMAHA, oct. n-To the Editor OF The
Bee: Chairman Mack says It is a crime
for anyone to state they will shut down
their factories in the event Of Bryan's
election. Mr.. Mack should have said It
would be a crime for anyone to vote for
Mr.. Bryan, with his ideas on free trade
and the repeal OF our protective tariff
laws, as the repeal Of these laws would
close the mills and factories, throw the
people out OF employment with munger
staring them In the face. II Mr.. Bryan
should be elected, with a democratic con-
gress, the tariff laws would be repealed
and the crime of 1898 would be repeated.
A party Is known by its acts, and not by
it's promises, and free trade destroys OPP
portunity for labor by closing the mills
and factories. Millions of men. women
and children in India, China, Japan, Africa
and other foreign countries earn from 10
to Is cents per day in our money and
exist. These people are poorly fed and
clothed, and are the people that rule labor
under free trade.
Mr.. Bryan is now preaching free trade;
that he is in favor Of placing on the free
list lumber, logs and pulp and all articles
controlled by a trust, which would include
also, sugar, iron. tobacco, salt, cotton,
harvesters, plows and thousands OF other
articles. Any inventive individual can be-
come a trust, as Mr.. Bryan says anybody
or anything that controls 40 per cent of
any article Is a trust, so we have thousands
of individuals that are a trust In them
selves in controlling patents and devices.
These are stronger than corporations, so
far as trusts are concerned.
A man will protect himself from being
robbed or murdered, and why should he
not protect himself from starvation? He
knows free trade is starvation, and worse,
It is a crime. and as Mr.. Bryan Is in favor
OF free trade, 1t is certainly a crime for
anyone to vote for him. Live and let
live should be the motto OF every voter
willing that all should be permitted to labor
when in health.
l believe a majority of our people are
sane and sound. They believe In having
plenty and being happy and contented, and
knowing this, I do not believe they will
vote for Mr.. Bryan and his false theories.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Local Candidates Address a Meeting
of the Bohemian Voters.
Two SPEECHES IN OWN TONGUE

DitaI-One of Series of Afflic-
lions on the Family.

The local candidates made their bow to
the Bohemlans of South Omaha last night
at Barton's hall. Joe Koutsky, G. H.
Brewer. Thomas HOLSTER and other local
candidates spoke. TSeir efforts were
crowned by two speeches delivered in the
Bohemian tongue, which pleased the audi
ence greatly. One Of these was by local
talent and the other was by o. i. holar
OF Chicago. Mr.. Kolar discussed the issues
OF the campaign from a Bohemian labor
er's standpoint and emphasized the attl-
tude of Mr.. Taft and the republican party
as the best hope OF labor, because both
always Intended fair treatment tempered
with reason and judgment. He praised
Mr.. Taft for not allowing great popular
pressure to lead him from the Justice Of
the cases he dealt with, for in standing
for the absolute right in the case he had
shown not only that labor had its limits
but it's rights as we'll. and he had made
the courts effective in handling the cor
porations in numerous cases, as we'll as
having decided against some attempts OF
labor which have since been found too I'M
Just and too radical. the lsborlng men
want TO stand before the people proudly
and claim with Justice behind them that
they mean TO be right to all men and they
are glad to have Mr.. Taft's word behind
them TO the effect that II Is right to or
ganize unions. to stand up for them and
secure their rights even to the necessity OF
striking for them, and using all Influence

was the assurance OF Mr.. K0lar TO numer-

OMAHA, Oct. 2o.-To the Editor of The
Bee: Mr.. Bryan said in his speech satur-
day night that III elected together with a
democratic house the senate will not dare
refuse to pass measures recommended by
him and passed by the house." For the
benefit of those democrats who advocate
the election Of Bryan merely because he
can do nothing as long as there is a re-
publican senate l would say that the lead
ers Of the senate should make It known at
once that II Bryan and a democratic house
are elected the senate will give them what
they want In the way of free trade. Bryan
is a free trader at heart and Will give It 10
us II he has an opportunity, and free silver
with 1t. II he is placed in the position that
Cleveland was in reference to the gold re-
serve there is no question but what Bryan
would pay our obligations in silver rather
than in gold where he could legally do so.

voters Are Thinking.

OMAHA, Oct. 20.-To the Editor OF The
Bee: In the tail end" OF every preslden-
tlal campaign we read OF democratic pre-
dictions as to the probable result. 1t seems
that the democratic national committee Sc
lected Chairman Mack to Guido all previous
chairmen in the matter Of predictions. He
is certainly earning his salary. He issued a
statement yesterday which was published in
a local paper, which is about as absurd and
ridiculous as anything l have yet read COM
ing from a democratic source. No doubt
others will follow.
Chairman Mack knows now-if not HI
will know early in November-that Mr..
Bryan has no show whatever OF being
elected president. Bluff talk doesn't in
fluence thinking men. men who understand,
men who know. men who keep in touch
with the affairs of the nation. The day
has long since passed when voters can be
influenced by blow and buster" This is
an era of reading, thinking and acting.
Never before has it been so manifest as
now.
Just watch the voter when ne goes to the
polls. His mind will be made up as to just
what he intends to do. He will need no
advice. He will accept none. Ticket ped
dlers will be out of a job and a quiet, peace
full election will result.
Watch the expression on each mans face
as he goes into the voting booth. You can
almost count the votes, and you will find
that Douglas county and the state Of Ne
braska will give Mr.. Taft a good safe ma
jority beyond a question Of doubt.
