NO GRID GAMES IN
OMAHA THIS WEEK
Creighton Goes to St. Louis,
Central High to Beatrice and
Omaha Uni to Crete.
FANS TO SEE AMES FRAY

No foot ball games are scheduled
for Omaha this week, all of the local
elevens invading hostile territory for
conflicts, and as a result many of the
Omaha gridiron fans are planning to
visit Lincoln, where the Cornhuskers
and Ames Aggies clash Saturday.

ton warriors to St. Louis for : COM

year and Creighton followers are hop
ing for victory for their hopefuls. The
defeat at the hands of Denver last
Saturday dampened the Blue and
White enthusiasm to some extent, but
a win from the Mound City athletes
will restore confidence. .'
Central High school, it is expected,
will encounter its most formidable foe
Friday, when it locks horns with
Beatrice. Omaha however, is the ia
vorite and a victory is predicted. The
game will be played at Beatrice and
the Central High eleven will journey
to Lincoln after the fray to see the
Nebraska-Ames game Saturday.
Omaha to Crete.
Omaha university goes to Crete to
collide with Doane college. Doane is
expected to win, but the locals hope
to put up stubborn resistance.
Many Omaha fans are intending to
see the Nebraska-Ames game Satur-
day in preference to the Nebraska

er team. In fact, it is believed the

HEAR A CALL WHEN
: THEY GET A RAISE
Congressman Meeker Draws
Parallel Between Two Kinds
of Preachers of Today.
TWO THEORIES OF CONDUCT

Speaking under the auspices Of Ne
braska Prosperity league, and intro
duced by w. J. Cornell, Congressman
Jacob E. Meeker of St. Louis inter-
ested and entertained an audience
Sunday evening in the Auditorium on
the subject, "The Scribes, Pharisees
and Sadducees, or Jesus Christ
which,"
The speaker drew a deadly parallel
between the Pharisees and Sadducees,
representing "churchanity," and Jesus
Christ, representing real Christianity
He pointed out that today, in Omaha
and in all the world, there are two
groups of preachers and ministers who
are opponents and exemplars of the
two groups in the time Of Jesus.
81 want to be understood as max
ing a distinction between preachers
of today who practice Christianity
and churchanity. That class which
ministers to the lowly and needy, as
Christ commanded they should do,
need no enconiums or praise, for their
work speaks for itself" he said. But
what | have to say this evening refers
to that class of preachers who say
they hear the voice of God every time
they get raise of salary or go to an
other church, who make commercial
business of the church, who make po-
litical speeches and call them sermons.
Anv man who would make an attack
on the real church-the invisible
church-would at once prove himself
TO be a foolish individual. Some of
the most profoundly religious men |
have known never entered a church.
Too Many Laws.
an the time of Christ there were
two theories of personal conduct and
those theories find their fullest ex-
preston in those who practice Chris
tianity and those who practice chur-
anity. One theory was to enforce a
set of rules for clothing, food, how
far you should walk in day and so
forth. The Pharisecs and Sadducees
wrote $4,000 laws and ordinances for
the guidance of mankind, andthey inl-
pOSeu lllltS, ptHdltlSo anu ptdIS oilNi
ings for violations. They forged the
name of Moses to those laws and or
dinances. Christ's conception of refor-
nation was from the inside out, rather
than the outside in.
There is in Omaha today group
of men seeking to enforce a set Of
rules which Christ denounced as I'm.

sentatives OF Christ are forging His

Find the Keynote
And Success Is
Sure, Says Hoffman

In order to be success in life ii
is only necessary to find the keynote
of the thing desired and it can be had
for the asking, according to DR.. A. A.
Hoffman, who lectured at Theosophi-
cal hall Sunday evening.
"Of course, it may be possible that
we might find the thing desired Dead
Sea fruit when we obtained it, but
that makes no difference with natures
laws. We follow the path OF least
resistance" said the doctor, land the
struggle in life which is so apparent
is merely the action of dual activity
of all inharmonious causal body.
Everything in the universe has a
keynote, whatever it may be. Should
this keynote be in harmony, nothing
but beneficent results can follow its
activities. But should this keynote
be out of harmony, then nothing but
i'll results could follow

Nonpareils Win
From An-Stars, But
Score Is Small One
By FRANK QUIGLEY.

All the dope of the wiseacres was
badly maltreated yesterday afternoon
at Luxus park when the recently-or-
gained All-Stars held the famous
Nonpareils, champions of Omaha, to
IS to 0 score. The feeling of ex-
pectancy that existed between the
local foot ball devotees was that the
champs would overcome all obstacles
and trounce the All-Stars by at least
so points, but it could be plainly seen
after few minutes of play that the
All-Stars were a good deal stronger
than expected. The first and second
quarters ended with the score blank
but in the third quarter, naturally, the
All-Stars, an inexperienced aggrega-
ton, grew tired and the Nonpareils
slipped a touchdown over on a
blocked punt, which was recovered by
Blackman, the center for the champs,
All that was compulsory for him to
do in order to nail said touchdown
was to fling his carcass on the pig
skin. Kieny missed goal. In the final
quarter, after a strenuous time, the
Nonpareils finally succeeded, after
several futile attempts, successfully to
negotiate a forward pass from Kieny
to Firbush, which terminated in
touchdown. Kieny kicked goal.
For the All-Stars there were no
particular stars. They all played to-
gether and played hard, but practice
which they had never had kept them
in the cellar. For the Nonpareils,
Foran, Hassan and Kieny were the
particular stars. Next Sunday the
Nonpareils will play Havelock at
