Big Day's Work lry the Eleven
Physicians Assigned to Admin
ister Free Vaccination.
Nearly twenty-live hundred persons
were vaccinated on Saturday, or to ho
more definite, 2.3C9 iirins were Inocu
lnted by the eleven West Pcrnnlon
physicians In the public schools, whore
provision bud been made by the city
for free vaccination.
Such crowds of men, women and chil
dren as flocked to the buildings was
unprecedented, nud In some ot the
wards It was Impossible to accommo
date nil who applied, as the vaccine
either gave out or tin physicians be
came tiled from overwork.
Judging fiom the number turned
away in certain districts, additional
arrangements should be made to vac
cinate all who yet desire to take ad
vantage ot the city's generosity, and In
all likelihood another day will be ap
pointed for the purpose.
Dr. A. J. Winebrnke. who was as
signed to No. 16 school In the Four
teenth ward, worked nn hour overtime
to accommodate the crowd, and made
the record of the day, having vaccin
ated 350 people, a large majority of
them being foreigners, ttho reside in
the ward.
Dr. J. J. Carroll, at Xo. 31 school In
what It known as "Boone Hill," was
second highest, with 300 to bis credit,
and Dr. J. J. Drennnn, at Xo. 21, Park
Place, vaccinated 270. Dr. D. J. Jen
kins, at Xo. It), nnd Dr. I.. II. Olbbs,
at Xo. 12, each had 200, while the others
ranged from that number down to an

MAN CANNOT
BE TOO GOOD
COMMENTS ON A TRIBUNE EDI
TORIAL. Aitlclc In Last Monday's Issue
Evokes Sermons hy Itov. Charles
M. Qlflln, D. D., nnd Rev. Rogers
Israel, D. D. No Safety Valve to
a Man's Moral Nature Is Neces
saryMust Bo More Than Health
ily and Humanly Good Bad In
Logic and Morals, Says Dr. Israel.
The Ttlbune printed, a week ago to
day, an editorial commenting upon
the enso of Kid or Clould, of Uellwood,
Nob., wlice conduct, to till oittwnid
appearances, was Puritanically proper
anil yet who proved to bo the otnbcK
zler or upwaids of $100,000. It was
pointed cut that tlure Is such n thing
as being too good and In following
out this lino of argument, the editorial
said:
"The point In Clould's case, and
nil other cases ot a similar nature,
Is that It docs not do to be too good.
In every man there Is about so
much natural cussedness which will
have 10 find vent during the coutse
of his lifetime. It can be dammed
up for n. time; but In that event It
Is likely to accumulate until It
bursts the restinlnlng Inilttencos
11111' eventuates In a Hood of devil
ment. "Our observation Is that the man
who does not try to be unnaturally
good, hut Is content with being just
healthily good, or humanly good,
with a reasonable spillway for the
outflow of natural tendencies,
makes, in the long run, the safer
fellow In a position ot tiust."
At least two clergymen In the city,
Rev. Dr. C. M. Olflln and Rev. Dr.
Rogers Israel, do not agree at all with
the a lews above expressed and they
didn't hesitate to tell people so yester
day. Di. Olflln spoke In the Elm
P.11 U church last night before a largo
congregation, taking for his theme,
"Newspaper Ethics, or Can a Sinn De
Too Good." He chose two texts: Ec
clcslssles vli: 1G, "Be not righteous
overmuch," and Romans vl: 14, '-'For
sin shall not have dominion over you."
One text, he said, advised against
showing too much external devotion,
while the other told of the complete
deliverance of man from theicontrol of
sin. The question as to which was the
proper standard of living, he said, can
only be aiTweicd by saying, "the last."
The first text does not represent the
true sentiment of the author of Ec
cleslastes, be said, being something ex
traneous to the main question under
discussion.
DR. GTFFIN'S DISCOURSE.
"I have considered it my duty," .said
he, "to speak In protest against an edi
torial utterance which appeared a few
days ago in a paper I read. I speak
not In the spirit of savagery, but with
Indescribable sorrow. A cei
tain pessimist of the piess gravely Iur
forms us that what is in us is bound
to come out, and th..t it is prudent to
lei a little of the bad out every little
now nnd then, for fear It will work
our destruction if kept in bounds. We
arc- told that there is such a thing as
too much holiness and that a man can
be too gcod.
"We are told that wo must content
to the Utile vices, that we may keep
Irom being slaves to the larger ones,
it Is not good to be too good, says the
sneenng pen of the editor. In these
days of civic corruption, when condi
tions have become so defiled that evety
God-fearing man covers his face with
shame, k is extraordinary that even a
stigg'-stlon should be printed that
would have a tendency to check what
impels towauls right Jiving.
"When I fhst came face to face with
the editorial In question and talked
with people about It, I came to the
conclusion that It was foolish to talk
ot" people being too good. 1 thought of
Hans Cluistlun Anderson,, who was
mortally afraid of being burled alive
and who used to pin a note on his
uiwilet every night, saying, 'I guess
I'm only in a trance.' 1 Bot the Idea
into my head that it would be a wise
Hiing if every church member wore a
biAlge or a button Inscilbed with the
words, 'I am good, but not too good.
Just humanly and healthily good.'
"The spirit that prompted that edl
toilal makes a man look with a squint
of approval upon ihe open .shame of
the gieal American financier who ji
cently played tor high slakes at Slonlo
Cailo and by so doing cniiced an ele

ONE Ari SOON AS OTlIEIt,

men In this church tonight: 'Young
men, don't be patilotlc, but keep your
eye on Benedict Arnold, who was a
ti altor to his country as I would to
say don't be too good, keep your eye
on the Nebraska cashier, the contesscrt

"I object Just as much to pious
frauds and canting hypocrites as uny

commonwealth, providing for double

X would suggest to thu editor who sits
down to write n homily upon danger

"What 1 object to about the editorial

give way to our latent vices so that
a bafety valve for our moral nature
may be created, Let the press nnd

"There Is no man wto goes to church

Inthnntlon Hint there Is no such thing

"When a weuk woman decided to
cast her fate with two tobbers, this
snttlo pen wrote that the ense nfforded
no basis for moralizing; that there nre
only two kinds of women, the thor
oughly had und the thoroughly good.
I shuddered when T rend that state
ment und thought It Wns wiitten 1900
years after Christ came upon this wot Id
with his message of love. That's the
doctrine of despair, and If there's any
thing I despise and loath, It la despair.
"There are some men who nre spir

with some kind of a virus that rendeis
them unmisceptlbte to spiritual things.
They believe In the decencies of life,
nnd admit that there Is such u thing
us n social conscience, but they have
absolutely no conception of that Divine
spit It whlrh came to earth to be reg
nant in the hunrts of men nnd to con
trol them for the highest purposes.
"We must be a little bad, once In
awhile, says the writer. Thcio must be
a little spillway. I would like to see
such a spillway, sufllclently large to let
out some of our moral nature and yet
not large enough to let It nil out, I
have seen too much of life to bcUcve.
In such a doctrine. I have seen people
willing to do a little damage to thei
selves, to take a day off once In thirty
years, like the New England deacon,
nnd I have seen complete desolation re
sult. It Is better to bo a Puritan than
a Parisian.
"When Christ healed the paralytic
inun, he said to him, 'Sin no more.' He
did not tell the mnn to sin a little and
to remember to nvold being too good.
'Sin no more,' without qualification, wns
the command, nnd I ventuie to say that
Christ knew more of human nature
than any latter-day teacher."
REV. DR. ISRAEL'S COMMENTS.
Tho morning sermon of Rev. Rogers
Israel. D. D at St. Luke's, also had
The Tribune's editorial for its' theme.
Dr. Israel said it was not his wont to
take Issue from the pulpit with news
paper utterances, but In this Instance
he felt that it was his duty to show tho
fallacy of the reasonings contained in
the editorial in question.
Ills text was, "My heart showeth me
the wickedness of the ungodly, that
theio is no fear in God before his eyes,
for he flnttereth himself in his own
sight until his abominable sin Is found
out." Psalms, 3G:l-2.
In the course of his remarks; Rev.
Dr. Israel said the editorial was both
bad In morals and bad in logic. It was
Illogical, he contended, where it said
the man in the illustration wns In want
ot a spillway for his wickedness, and
in Hie same breath that he had been
stealing for fifteen years.
It was immoral, ho declared, because
It discredited Hie sacramental charac
ter of our Loid's life and the teachings
of Holy Scripture, respecting the de
velopment of dun actor through the
grace of Clod.
He then drew attention to the text,
and s-tild that many men deceive them
selves by doing works, but neglecting
the development of the Mitiltunl na
ture. The approaching season of Lent,
he went on to say, gives opportunity
for self-examination the leading of
one's own heart which wnuld lead to
the discovery of moial weakness and
liability to temptation, thus causing
man to realize his weakness and to seek
God anil a stronger chaiacter, in ie
pentence, nil Hi and the use of the sac
laments of the chinch.

There was a Lincoln Day service nt
the All Souls' Uulversullst church yes
terday morning In honor of the np
pronchlng rtnnlvcisary ot thu birth of
the martyred president.
The pastor, Itov. Thomas tl. Payne,
delivered n sermon on "Abraham Lin
coln, tho tdeal American, Citizen and
President." He took his text from
Proverbs, 22, "a good name Is rather
to be chosen than gieat riches." Dur
ing the service "America" and the
"flattie Hymn of the Republic" were
sung by the congregation, In which
wiee many members of the Grand

sermon follows:

Marcus, Aurelius, Cato, Cicero, t'aesir, Virgil,

Icy, and towering above them all tho mighty
Gladstone whom she so much needs today to bring
her lad; to the moral influence and mivver fhe

our moi'ein Mo'es in. a critical hour, we all
long eign settled in the alllrmatlve. If this be
tine, then, the utterances of Abralnm Lincoln en
Ihe gieat questions of liberty, oppression nnd
civil rights are political axioms applicable' to
all llmci and all people. Of cpeelal value,

Hy Mi Hi, eaily struggles, slow development
and ideals, Abraham Lincoln conformed in the
completest waj- to the American people's image
of mi Ideal American. He was born Into a lowlj"
home, lie was descended from a hardy Xcw- Kng
land stock, though possessing a shiftless, worth
less father, but blessed as every great man must
be, in a saintly mother. On' to whom, although
she died in his early bojhood, he ever confessed
be owed all lie became. Fiom his mother he re
ceived all his lofly ideals of truth, integrltj",
honor, rlghetousness, that never left him.
The imperative power they liod over him is
witnessed by bis walk of many miles at Hie clou
of the daj's xroifc as a tier!;, to let urn to a cus
tomer twelve cents he bj mlstah had overcluiged
the man in miking change. In dav's past, our
Ideal American came from tho lovvlj- homes ot
the land. Although times hare changed, and wc
can almost raj- a home so poor as was the Lin
coln home can hardly be found in the land, we
still look for our ideal American fiom the homes
of the great struggling people of the republic
rather thin fiom the homes of the rich. To come
into this world with every want antiiipated, pro
vided for and ministered unto, as do the dill
dren of the rich, is to begin the race of life han
dicapped at the very start. It means a jouiney
through life with talents undeveloped and powers
