Nature Lovers Seek Great
Outdoors on Audubon Day

One Of the most interesting of
the trips through the woods be-
yond the South Side taken on Au-
\ dubon day, was that which Robert
+. Glider directed.
Three groups from the Y. w. c..
A started from Wake Robbins at
AIS p. m. Saturday. Mr.. Glider
took them not along the usual path
ways, but to the spots most inter-
csting in an archaeological and geo.
logical light.
The secrets of the limestone and
mystery of the unusual trees in
which this part of the country
abounds, were sought in preference
to the regular study 1of birds. to
which Audubon day has hitherto
been given. Among those who
took the trip was Mrs. Perry
Wheeler.
The group of Audubons which
visited Forest Lawn cemetery was
headed by Mrs. George Daman and
was composed in part of the fol-
lowing: Mrs. A. L. Patrick, Mrs.
F.sW. Booth, Miss Zimmerman,

Property on Farnam
Street Continues to
2 Show Great Activity

The rapid advance in the price of
Farnam street property that few
years ago was considered high-class
for residential purposes, but is now
in sort of way between residence
and business, is the talk of the town.
One of the significant signs of
what is in store for this Farnam
street property appeared during the
end of last week, when Joe Barker
sold an option on his residence at
3210 Farnanl street at $4,000.
The Barker house is one of the
old Farnam street mansions. Some
eight years ago it was purchased by
Joseph Hayden of Hayden Bros
He paid $4,000, and during his
ownership expended something like
$1,000 in betterments. Three years
ago he sold to Joe Barker for $780,
600. Now Barker has chance to
turn the property, cleaning up
profit of $4,000.

CAMP AICN FOR
GIRLS NOME TO
Be CON TINUED
Drive, Suspended During Vic
tory Loan Period, to Be
Reopened; Subscriptions
Pass $40, 900 Mark.

The campaign to raise 100000 in
Omaha and the state to erect home
tor working girls OF Omaha, having
been suspended during the Victory
loan drive, will be renewed with
greater vigor than ever and con-
tinued until the last dollar needed
isSobtained.
In discussing the renewal of ac-
tivitics before a committee Of the
laity and clergy of the diocese of
Omaha at his residence, Archbishop
Harry said:
The sincere patriotism and 10y
Atty of the citizens of Omaha have
once more been brought to the at
stention of the people Of America by
the early oversubscription of their
quota to the Victory loan.
Now that the people of the
United States fully understand there
will be no further calls made upon
their generosity and devotion to war
purposes, their. minds will naturally
revert to the long-neglected demands
and necessities of peace. These will
be met with speed, courage and
confidence so characteristic of
american citizenship.
Should Protect Girls.
The care and protection of work.
ing girls is a measure of incompar-
able value and potency for the
security of the nation and the de-
yelopment of its industries. Moth
ing can replace these future mothers
sof America. They are part and
parcel of the indispensable founda-
ton of our country's future great
ness and must never pass from our
watchful care. We must try to
make them happy and content if we
would adequately respond to the
wonderful commercial and industrial
incidentl to Euro
pean chaotic conditions"
The Irish musical comedy pro-
duced at the ndeisstheater by
the Joan of Arc club, added up
wards of $1,000 to the campaign
fund, and the May dance held at
the Auditorium by the young wo-
men Of the Columbia club realized
over $l,1O0. During the three weeks

By ]. DELMAN KUYKENDALL.
Pastor Of Plymouth Congregational
ChuJch.

The proposed union Of the Oma.
ha Ministerial association with the
Omaha Church federation has ap.
parently attracted but little, notice
and the writer has felt that the vital
importance of the subject to the city
| calls for a more extended public dis
cussion than was given in the meet
ing of about Is Of the 100 protestant
ministers of the city held Monday
morning. What is said here is, OF
course, the individual expression of
the writer.
At the Monday meeting a consti-
tuition was adopted. by the Minister
ial association, for a new organiza-
ton to be known as the Omaha
Association of Ministers and
Churches. The purpose as set forth
covers wide range of splendid ac-
Invites touching the civic, industrial
social and religious life of the city.
Adopt Restricting Clause.
After considerable discussion,
however, restricting clause was
adopted, which was intended, with
out any possible question, to eliimi-
nate from membership certain
churches, There could be no
serious objection on the part of any
one, if it is the desire of what may
be called the Evangelical churches"
to organize themselves into anlasso-
citation for cooperating in religious
work.
The only objection which can be
raised is that the organization, after
adopting this restricting clause, was
not frank and honest enough to
adopt a name and an expressed set
of objects in keeping with the re-
stricted plan of membership.
If this had been done, the organ
ization, instead of being named the
Omaha Association of Ministers and
Churches should have some such
name as this: THE Omaha Associa-
ton Of Protestant, Evangelical
Christian Ministers and Churches"
1t might, of course, be even more re-
,stricted, to those who accept the
Augsburg Confession, or who hold
to some sacrament as a saving or
dinance.
Any group of ministers has an I'M
questioned right to organize an assoz
citation. 1t is question whether they
have right to organize an exclu-
sive organization and at the same
time adopt so widely inclusive
name; whether. in fact, they have a
right, in this day of religious toler-
ance, to say to the city, "Only those
who subscribe to this creedal con-
ditions are entitled to be called
and churches"
For Civic Activities.
1t was the feeling of majority
of the committee which drew the
constitution, that there should be in
Omaha a federation which might in
clude in its civic activities all the
religious organizations of the city. 1t
was hoped that this association
might unite in helpful cooperation
those who are striving to serve God
and their fellow men. i
The association as formed, while a

On New Church Association
Pastor Of Plymouth Congregational Church Believes

Adopted By Ministers.

perfectly legitimate organization as
far as it goes, does not unite; it d.
vides. It says to Jews and to Uni
tarians and to other liberals: "You
are not churches and we cannot
ask you to cooperate in these civic
activities"
Furthermore, the wording of the
restrictive clause not only eliminates
organizations but it practically sets
up an Interpretation of theological
dogma and says that this particular
Interpretation must be adopted by
those who are to become members
of this association. 1t practically de-
clares that there is no room in the
religious life Of Omaha for those
who are thinking, religiously, in the
terms of the 10th century.
1t would eliminate every effort to
reconcile scientific truth with relig-
ious truth. 1t would say that Omaha
must go back for its Interpretation
of religious truths to the dark ages.
This, at least, is the inevitable con-
clusion based on the arguments
which were presented in support of
the restricted amendment to the
constitution.
Says to "Prussianize Religion"
While this is bad enough I have
wondered if there was not also pres
ent an attitude on the part of many
who supported the amendment
which would expose itself some
thing like this: Il believe so
thoroughly that my theological
views are correct that | cannot min
gle socially with those who differ
with me, that | cannot take part
with them in civic betterment work.
/ cannot march side by side with
them in the great battle that must
be waged in the coming days to
bring the Kingdom of God to pass
on earth"
] cannot suppress feeling that
there is an effort being made to
Prussianize the religious life of the
city of Omaha, whether it is con-
scious effort or not. | cannot avoid
a conviction that real religious lib
erty is being smothered out by the
oppressive dogmatisn of an age
that should have passed.
If the great battle for democracy,
against autocracy, has not succeeded
in eliminating the spirit of the Hun
in the religious life of today it has
to that extent failed, and it will not
be surprising if in the coming years
