the builder has had to rely upon the kindness OF
his other creditors, who have helped the cause
by not pressing their claims.

work was gathered mostly from the contributions

have taken up benefit collections. friend in In

tributed far beyond what might be expected from
their means. Mr.. Schwarz made house-tohouse
campaign of four days down in Riley, Kan, and
raised 5000 in that way One of the church trus-
tees, who declared when the project was begun
that he would not do anything to aid it, has al
ready given $100, and others have given 500 and
$500 contributions Churches have promised
contributions that will probably average $25 each
and several hundred dollars is expected
from that
IF just had $4,000 more l could finish it,"
says the minister, and he seems not to lack faith
that the $4,000 will come it is needed
Mr. Schwarzs unique undertaking has attract
ed considerable attention and promises of finan-
cial assistance have come in from various parts
of the country, These donations to a most wor-
thy cause are for the most part in small amounts
but are none the less appreciated by the ener-
getic pastor and the encouragement thus re-
ceived has had no little part in helping along the
good work Rev. Schwarz has announced that all
outside contributions will be gratefully received
and promptly acknowledged.
The biggest addition to the fund that has
come so far was the $25OO got from selling the
old parsonage, which the pastor advised soon

1t is because of this sincere desire to be of help
to his church that Mr. Schwarz has labored with
his hands ard brain to build the new church. 1t
has arisen out of what seemed to be insurmount-
able difficulties Not only the cornerstone, but
every stone in 1t was refused by the builders,
but when it is finished there will be fault found
with its smooth, gray walls, its modern equipment
and its generous dimensions
In connection with his pastoral and building
work Rev. Mr.. Schwarz devotes nine hours
week to teaching in the University of Omaha
where he has charge of the German classes He
and the compensation received from this additional
work he considers provdential in that it helps to
secure him sufficient salary to bring his work to

using it for some time and was an

the true remedy for his stomach and

of the Doctors charge when we found
how wise his judgment was.
"The use of Postum instead of eof-

SCIENCE AND FAITH

Is it true that the greater the knowledge the
less the religious interest? Are these two persons
the man whose zeal for religion is equaled by his
bigotry and ignorance and the other in whom sci
entifc study has dwarfed spiritual sensbity fair
types by which to judge the relations of religion
and knowledge?
is intelligence incompatible with real piety?
Will the growth of knowledge bring about the dis
solution of religion? Is the life of religious aspi
ratons and feelings out of date in scientific age
such as we are constantly reminded this one is
to-day? Science has overcome superstition; is
faith bound up with superstition that it, too,
must go?
We can be sure of one thing. at least; that, no
matter what our feelings, theories or ideals may
be, cannot turn backs ON the great world
of fact it is laid before us. The faith that fights
facts is committing suicide Appeals to our fears
cannot to-day make the facts less real to us and
know that by them will have to stand or
fall
If you stop to think about it, there is striking
significance in the fact that this question has.
arisen Is there religion for the intelligent edu-
Gated scientific mind? 1t suggests another ques-

LOST REGISTERED LETTERS
FOUND IN QUEER PLACE
Missed From a Mangfed Mail Bag,
They are Recovered From

''SJ FlCSONCISu
Car Trucks.
1t does not always follow that the
disappearance of registered mail
packages indicate robbery of the
mail. This was demonstrated on
The Overland Limited train No. 2
Friday, November 5th, when pack.
age of five registered letters from
Schuyler disappeared between that
point and Omaha.
The recovery of the lost package
was as strange as it's disappearance.
The Schuyler pouch is picked up
from crane by means of pouch
catcher as the train passes. This
pouch catcher is attached to the mail
car and hooks onto the pouch sus-
pended from the crane as the train
passes. In this particular instance
the pouch catcher did not make a
good catch and the pouch fell under
the wheels of the train and was cut
in two. The mail was scattered along
the track for a considerable distance.
but the five registered letters, which
were in packet, could not be found
when the other mail was picked up.
The impression at once prevailed that
the registered package had been found
and kept by some one and it was re-
ported as lost.
Postoffice Inspector L. A. Thomp-
son was started out to investigate. His
first visit was to Council Bluffs to
make inquiries of the postal clerks
on the car, and scarcely had he
reached there when he received word
that the registered package had been
found by the car cleaner resting snug
ly on the trucks under the dining
car. where it had been blown or
thrown when the mail pouch was
flung under the wheels at Schuyler.
That the package was not injured
in the slightest, nor Jared from its
position on the trucks, is simply an
other tribute to the Union Pacific's
unsurpassed roadbed and perfect track.
