BRILLIANT RECEPTION TEN DERED MRS. W. T. OSBORNE By Members A. M.. E. Church and Prominent Citizens. On Friday evening, September 1, a public reception was tendered Mrs. W. T. Osborne as an appreciation of the work she has done during the past four years for the advancement of St. John’s A. M. E. Church of which her husband, Rev. W. T. Osborne, is the brilliant and successful pastor. Nothing was wanting to make the occasion felicitous and profitable. The church was crowded to capacity, and standing room was at a premium; the plain, honest folk were there vie ing with men in the learned profes sions and business men in an effort MRS. W. T. OSBORNE to surpass in placing encomiums upon Mrs. Osborne. A carefully prepared program was rendered by picked talent from Omaha’s men and w'onien and it would have done credit to anyone anywhere. Those appearing upon the program were Nancy Ewing, who gave the in vocation, Mesdames Anna Burton Martha Smith, Minnie Gillam and Miss Darlene Duval, Misses Cordelia Johnson and Bertie McRoy in a duet, Mesdames Maude Ray and Myrtle Moore and Miss Maude Ray in a trio, Mr. Robert H. Lee in violin solo and Miss Otis Watson in a piano solo. Recitations were given by Mesdames Adverta Randall and L. F. Robinette, papers were read by Mesdames F. J. McCullough and Lula Rountree and an address was delivered by H. J. Pinkett. At the conclusion of the mu sical and literary program, Mrs. Martha Jackson on behalf of the com mittee, with appropriate remarks, presented to the honored guest, Mrs. Osborne, a rich silk breakfast dress and a fine, large wardrobe trunk. Mrs. Jackson’s remarks were second ed by Mrs. Plummer Walker, w’ho also spoke for the committee, and Mrs. W. Metcalf, wife of the Rev. Mr. Metcalf, presented a birthday cake to Mrs. Osborne on the occasion of this gathering in her honor came upon her birthday. The papers read recounted the work that Mrs. Osborne has done since the Rev. Mr. Osborne has been pastor here, and pointed out that the pas torate of the Rev. Mr. Osborne, dur ing his four years’ service here has been the most successful in every way of any minister’s pastorate in the history of St. John’s A. M. r;. Church, and that Mrs. Osborne, ex cepting the pastor himself, has been the greatest individual contributor to ■that success. Every spoken word on this occasion iterated and reiterated the fine musical, literary, organizing and financial triumphs with whicn Mrs. Osborne has met, and every musical number was a tribute of love and respect. Perhaps one of the finest things that was done was the unanimous vote of that splendid audience for the return of Rev. Mr. Osborne and Mrs. Osobme to our city for next year and the coming years. Mrs. Osborne closed the program with words of elegance and gracious ness and thanks for the honor which was hers. Refreshments were then served. The mistress of ceremonies was Mrs. Jessie Moss, and the committee in charge of this magnificent demonstra tion was Mrs. Martha Jackson, Chair-, man, Mesdames Eva Walker, W. S.
