Belief is always ahead of knowledge. It must be. It's function Is to break the shell and loose the larger life of truth. Belief is a personal power. It is the power that keeps personal growth astir and active, always ahead of experience leading into renewal and growth.

"Thi3 is of especially sharp significance when we come to the ministry ot religion to health. It is the larger self of man that breaks the shackles of illness over and over again. "And It is not a question of finally believing in some thing or person: it is, however, of supreme importance to cultivate belief as a power; to accept and exercise personal rise; to know that God calls to the man eternal always; to learn to get out beyond experience, into the presence of the father. The heart cf our creed is personal life that is eternal, that overcomes, that helps overcome, that grows by overcoming. We must know belief a our eternal self, awake to our difficulties and.

meeting them and overcoming them, our Eelf eternal which alone God calls and Jesus leads. God becomes our father and Jesus becomes our companion only on the road to victory, physical as well as spiritual. Let us pray for Just that thins.

Since coming here he met Mr. Pugh and took him into his home where the sick man is being cared for. Kreuger is daily searching for a position in which lie may make a living for his family and the man he has helped. This is one of the few instances met with in tho past few weeks where partie are reaily pressed by poverty, alls for aid have been coming in but rarely, although there are investigators out among the people all the time doing their share to find sufferers. Common work has been opening up quite well in the city during the past week.

Early spring house cleaning has made work for many men In the residence districts. Authorities at tho Helping Hand mission report that the number of men who have been remaining at that place during the day time has greatly decreased, they finding employment at cleaning caxpets. raking off lawns and other such work about the houses.

"The Port of Missing Men," by Meredith Nicholson, which comes to the New Grand Wednesday and Thursday with the usual Wednesday matinee, is aptly styled a delightful romance.glt Involves Austrian diplomatic circles, Washington political life, a quaint out-of-the-way summer resort among the Virginia mountains; a senator, his soldier son, and his charming daughter, two Austrian scoundrels and a stalwart young man with a sound head and a tender hert whose connection with the Austrian succession carries him into perilous paths, and -bids fair to lose him the hand of the senator's daughter. A set of conspirators undertakes assassination as a means of placing a most undesirable person upon the throne of Austria. They would have been successful if a ranchman from the Dakotas had not interfered to keep Austria from overthrow, and he does it single handed.

Hugo Koch, favorably remembered for his portrayal of Bates In' the original cast of "The House of a Thousand Candles," is being starred in the coming play. He scored a great triumph in Philadelphia in the principal role. MAILMEN'S CAMPAIGN CLOSES Only Eighteen Votes Opposed to Sunday Closing. Postmaster E. C.

Tompkins today will send to the postal authorities at Washington, D. C. statistics regarding the vote taken In Sioux Cits' on the closed Sunday postofflce question. It is believed Mr. Tompkins will be given authority to close the office Sundays on the showing made.

The committee of carriers and clerks that had the campaign in charge yesterday reported the result of their efforts to the postmaster and thus closed the campaign, as as solicitation for votes on tho question is The report of the committee showed that only eighteen votes were cast against the Sunday closing plan. Most of these came from the stock yards district and it fs declared if requested the voters would withdraw at 'least half of thee because of -the favorable outlook for a postofflce at the stock yards exchange building. In all 5.000 cards were distributed by the carriers and 4,130 of these were returned with votes registered on them. Of these 4.113 were favorable to the closing plan.

but taking into account the prices that prevail during most "winters and the number that are spoiled, the profit on tfem does not foot up very fast." An extended discussion with any of the cafe and restaurant owners of Sioux City will convince one that the Elysain raad to affluence does not lie to their business, although most of seem to be making money and prospering. The expenses for other items besides foodstuff's are so varied that it is hard to obtain exact figures and place the proper raire. in the loss and profit columns. Witii coffee on the market for 30 cents a ptHind. the quality In use by most restaurateurs, some figures on profit may be ascertained.

Approximately thirty-six cups can be made out of each pound of, coffee, which means a profit of tl-50 on each found. But with coffee, cream and iibor reckoned In, the net profit will cot amount to more than SO cents.

Among the items which make inroads on the profits of the restaurant- keepers are labor, keepup. rent, gas, insurance anj numerous items which are not apparent to the casual investigator.

IS DOING DAMAGE of in of REV. HELGE HOVEESTAD SAYS THESE IS NO CONMECTIOlf.

DISORDER PRECEDES CHANGE When Converted Person Becomes Insane It Is Only an Indication That Mind Was Unsound in Spite of and Hot Because of Religion. Religion in no way makes a maji insane. Some other cause produces the abnormal condition. Religion has saved people from the asylums with the rest and peace it has givtru Such, in brief, is the argument Rev. Helge Hoverstad, of St.

Peter's Norwegian Lutheran church, presented in his eermon yesterday morning In answer to those who criticise relleion on the Ground that it makes people Insane. The speaker staiea nts oelief in a regulation of the amount of religious works performed by any individual, the tame as regulation Is needed in diet. Rev. Helge Hoverstad said In part: "In the Inventing and using of excuses and objections man is master of arts. It Is so In all realms of life even in religion.

It Is nothing new. It has been so since the time of Adam and Eve. When Christ had cast out a demon and the multitude marveled, some of them said: 'Ey Reelzebub, the prince of tha casteth he out demons. "It is likely that men knew not whose spokesmen they were when objecting to Christ and his power. So the men of today may not know whose spokesmen they are when objecting to Christ anil his religion.

The educated men of the twentieth century do not put their objections In the words of thoe from the first century. The cloven foot Is hidden some. 'Do not take religion too they say. 'Do not let it too much In on you. It rrnght not be good for you.

It weakens in inn. i'eopie are sometime maUe Insane by etc. It Is the same objection in modern dross. It has tho same source lie who wants to keep true religion from man's heart. "Of course, such persons never object to religion as long as it is merely outward ceremonies and formalities.

It when it takes hold of the heart In earnest that the warning is heard: "Now, be careful that you do not get too much of it; sometimes people go crazy over they reieat. God's Word Sometimes Cuts Deep. Is that true? Does the religion of Jesus Christ make people insane? No, never. To admit that would be to stamp it as something harmful, something to be avoided. It is true that the word of Ood sometimes cuts deep Into man's heart and greatly stirs up man's mind, but it does not unbalance any mind.

If a per- son of sound mind and body gives bim self over to God lie will find rest, security and peace. It cannot be otherwise. Sometimes it means a perlcd of great mental and spiritual struggle, and his words or actions may be pointed to as unbalanced because they differ so from previous acts, but there is no danger. Such a person Is simply coming to his own. Like a sound child staggers and tumbles, but soon learns to walk, so will he.

"But, say some. Is It not true that the so called conversion In some cases and also the Christian life of some persons have an unstrung and abnormal aspect, and what about religious maniacs? It is not caused by religion? No, never with religion as the primary cause. The sickness," the tendency, the nervous disorder is there before and is the cause of the insanity. Trouble Is Nervous Disorder. "Stubborn, continued cases cf religious despondency and melancholy are in most every case a nervous disorder.

Such a person may be a Christian, but bis sickness has nothing to do; no real connection with true Christianity. If astronomy had the same place in his heart his task would turn to that. A specialist bas said: 'Some say that religion makes people insane, but it is not so. Quite the contrary, people are sick, and their sickness takes a religious aspect, because our people are fortunately, yet a religious "Can there be too much of bible reading, prayer and exhortation? Most certainly. For sick and weakminded persons especially there must be a spiritual and intellectual diet just as vell as for the body.

Never should we advise not to seek God or not to become a Christian. That very thing, that rest and peace foundIn God, has saved many from the asylum, but we should also say: you are sick and must eefe a doctor and also a. nastor that understands mental dis- erders. There is no doubt that exhorters zealous without understanding, have acne harm in advising or giving wrong spiritual diet, but let us not blame religion for what wrong they have done. The truJ religion of Jesus" Christ Is sound and can nroHi.ro hut eood results.

Let us confi dently open our hearts for It." BELIEF IS A PERSONAL POWER It Wrings from Facts and Truth More Truth and More Life. Belief, which Rev. Ralph P. Smith, of St. Thomas Epi-scopal church, defines as the rise of the man eternal, has its application In tho treatment of the sick body as It has In many other Instances.

Rev. Mr. Smith Is preaching a series of sermons on the ministry of religion to health. Ey he says, the larger self of the man Li continually breaking the shackles of Illness. Rev.

Mr. Smith spoke in part as follows: Therefore I say unto you, all things whatsover ye pray and ask for, believe that ye have received them and ye shall have St. Mark xl Zi. "St. Mark's Is the essential gospel.

The others carry the elaborations, it carries the gist. It Is action, gospel action, throughout And it Is uhdauiental. All study seems to find it central to the others. 'That makes our text all the more striking. No philosopher took these words and wrought into them a finished significance or purpose.

Yet they are profoundly and emphaslzedly climacteric -to deep, human, hope. Supremely It can be said of them. They are life. "So the master profoundly appraises belief. With 1dm It seems not only to root, but to illuminate possession.

Evidently possession of things to him. without belief in them or of them, is no possession. And with belief possession is everything; without it, nothing. "In another way, we may say these words sound as though with belief we possess things; without belief, they posses us. In some way.

ws must gain the onfe and avoid the other. Is just that that we wish to bring out here- tonight. Belief, its function. Its nature. Its help--toward health.

"Belief Is a we say it Is tbe' personal power. The self rises by belief; It is the rose of the man As man Is made or born eternal and mfinite, that Is 'In the Image of God, so the end of man la the realization of this, his sovereign nature, and growth la-- that realization of personal growth. not necessarily IntelV-ctual growth so called, but pure, sheer personal growth. Belief is the utterance of personal lire beyond its experience Masses of people commit the supreme folly, habitually, of saying -believe instead of 'know'. Belief looks behind or beyond all Imagery.

It enters the great realm of involution. It is the supreme personal power. "What is the function of belief? Its function I to promote, personal growth. No truth. formula, principle, theory, proposition, or even revelation Is flnaltv or folly pictured for any man.

There, ts more Involved than has ever' been seen or known or told or understood. This Is but a way of saying that a personal life goes on -growing, growing into the I ii STAR HOTEL. 115 FIFTH ST. HAIE ST0E.Z. THE SMITHS.

March IS. Special: Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Herbert, of this city, pioneer reafaients of this portion the northwest, will be the principals a golden wedding anniversary celebra- Uon, which will take place at the family home tomorrow. Mr.

Herbert is 77 years age. while Mrs. Herbert la 73. Both are enjoying good healthand promise to celebrate numerous other wedding anni- rersaries. There now are four genera- tions in the family, and it Is a remarkable circumstance that thus far there lias not been a single death in the family.

Mr. Herbert was born in 1S34 on Prince Edward Island. Mm. Herbert, whose maiden name was Lizzie Anderson, was born at Lenarlc, in 183S. When a boy Mr.

Herbert moved to London. and from there to Lookin, where he en- gaged In business and remained several years. He then moved to Francistown, where he first met the girl whom. he made his wife and who has been his FAYORS CHANGE FOR FIREMEN LTJTZE WOULD SHORTEN HOURS AND TtAISE PAY. MEN NEEDED FOR DEPARTMENT Present Working Conditions Afe Such That No One Cares to Take the Necessary Examination Not a Han Is on Waiting List.

A. C. Lutze, a member of the Sioux City civiUjservice commission. Is in favor of a slight raise for the men of the fire department, with a twelve-hour shift. and three eight-hour shift for the police men, without a raise in salary at this time.

Mr. Lutze is of the opinion that the firemen should have a raise in -preference to the policemen in order that more men can be secured for the fire department. At the present time there is not a man on the waiting list for the fire department. "It is impossible to get men to take the examination or firemen for Ihe present salary," said Mr. Lutze last night." The men on the fire department are on duty twenty-four hours of the day now.

It is Mr. Latie's contention that if tbe men couM receive a slight increase in salary and have the hours made to twelve more men could be secured. However, under the twelve-hour shift the- men would still be subject to- order at any time when a large fire broke out. Mr, Lutxe said: "In ease of a large fire the whole department would not have to go out. The regular shift that was on duty at the time of the fire could fight until its twelve hour3 expired and then the other crew could go to work.

Of course, if there was a large fire which threatened the business district, why, every man on, the force would then be called out. Wou3d-Be Firemen Scarce. "We have to scour the city for men to take the examination for- firemen whenever we are short and then it is almost Impossible to get them. At the present time there are men on the fire department who have not taken examination, but i are working because Chief Kellogg has to have men. When a man Is placed on the fire force he receives for a salary about $55 a month.

This, of course. Increases the longer the man remains on the force. But very few people will take an examination work for so -small a salary such as the firemen are paid when they begin on the Job." More men apply to take the examination-for the police department. Police Chief J. B.

Richards said he had eight men on the waiting list, all of whom had passed the examination. According to the rales of the civil service commission man may work for thirty days without takingthe examination. However, there is but one man working on the police force under this-rule. This man is a detective and is waiting until the meeting of the commission in order-to take the examination. No one-bat policemen are eligible to take the examination for detective, AT THE of Cameron "The Defender- of Cameron- Dam," a melodrama, based on the adventure of John Dietz, who kept the militia of Wisconsin at bay, and who from his home guarded Cameron dam from seizure by the lumber trust, played to-large houses at the New Grand theater, and apparently pleased the crowds.

A lore story is woven through the piece, relieving at times the. melodramatic situations The defender of Cameron dam In this instance Is a John Braun, and Collin Varrey gave a red shirt presentation of the character. Harry Gray was the "I'll get you yet" fellow. Orpheum. Ed Wynn and E.

O.Malley Jennings take the classical joke about the Englishman's propensity for never seeing a pun as' a basis for Ictof tomfoolery in an act' that "get3 away good." as the box office men say, Vlelng with the Wynn and, Jennings act; is the mad dancing of Bert and iliss Jessie Brown. Taken air the A-ay through, there' has not been a better bill presented, at the Orpheum theater this year than that which greeted the houses of yesterday. Leading off with a contortion act that Is staged under the better sounding name of "postures," Ernest Yerxa 'and Adele present, a pleasing and interesting departure from the usual affairs ef this Kalmar and Brown's- madcap dancing, with which they close their act, brought down a storm of applause that was insistent in the demand that they "come back." However, it was the dancing that made tbe appeal to the crowd, for the team could not be complimented on its songs-It is close run to tell which one of the Wynn and Jennings team Is the funniest. On the one hand the noisy fellow keeps one in roar, and If you turn to the other one for relief, his stolid density hits-the. funny, spot and twists one's ribs morai than ever.

Mr. Tompkins also received several letters from Sioux Cityans expressing approval of the closing plan, while not one letter was received against the move. Mr. Tompkins has received a letter from the board of-commerce, of Detroit, through its president, Abner E. Earned, which is a strong hoost for a.

closed Sunday postofflce. The chamber of commerce of: Detroit corresponds to the Sioux City Commercial club. The Detroit postofflce was closed on Sundays a short time ago after a campaign similar to that just conducted here. Mr. Larned in his letter say's in part: At a recent noon luncheon, where over 4C0 men were present, Postmaster Warren, in referring to the city slogan, In Detroit Life is Worth said that our people believed 'life" should be made worth living for the other fellow also.

This exactly expresses the attitude of the business public toward the Sunday postofflce closing. There Is no logical reason for the delivery of general malt on Sunday. The man who received it cannot answer letters because his own office force will not be pn duty until Monday morning. Taking the mail from the postofflce, carrying-it to one's pfflce, opening It and laying it aside 'fer attention Monday morning fs really nothing than, an unfortunate habit which, induces a maa to consume several hours of a day of rest In purposeless wcrfc No city in America of its 6lze is growing more rapidly than Detroit. No city is more alert.

No communUy is enjoying greater prosperity. The Sunday of the postoffice. instead of sobstractlng anything from this situation, I regarded as an adjunct to progrew." Mr. Larned say that the board of commerce has placed Its emphatic seal of approval on the Sunday closing of the post-office. Neligh Citizens' Ticket Nellgh, March 19.
