PHI DELTA NOTES The Phi Delta Sorority girls en tertained their mothers Wednesday evening at the home of Mrs. Mary Harrold in observance of Mother’s day. A delicious seven-course dinner pre pared by the members was served. The table was beautifully appointed and decorated by a centerpiece of li lacs. During the meal the musical contingent of the club furnished vo cal and instrumental numbers. These Mothers' day affairs have become an annual event and the mothers of the Phi Delta girls eagerly anticipate them. THE SOLDIER’S DREAM A PLEASING PAGEANT The pageant, “A Soldier’s Dream,” which was given under the direction of Miss Lucille LaCour of the Com munity Center last Thursday night at Columbia Hall, was a delightful affair and brought out, as it deserved to do, a liberal patronage. The girls of the various countries which passed be fore the sleeping soldier, which part was taken by Roscoe Miller, who was in excellent voice, were artistically Impersonated by Miss Ruth Washing ton, Miss Wade, Miss Beatrice Ma jors, Miss Thomas. Miss Boyd, Miss Middleton, Miss Pegg, Miss McCaw, Miss Roberts, and Mesdames 0. Roun tree, Jr., and John Smith. The ser pent dance, by Miss Mary Pegg, who represented Egypt, and the butterfly dance, by the same young woman, were additional features of a most attractive program. Folk dances by group of the younger girls pleased the audience. The prologue was read by Andrew Reed. DRIVE FOR KI NDS FOB community service National headquarters of Commu nity service has done a generous thing for Omaha, which should be appre ciated. It has continued its workers here until June 1st, because of ttie need for such work and because it is believed that the citizens of Omaha will hereafter finance the work. If community work is to continue here among the colored people, it is up to us to support it. To do so will re quire not less than $500 a month. Tills means that 25 cents a week from 500 people will finance this splendid work. Surely there are not only 500 but 1,000 who cun he counted on to do this much. A drive is now on to raise funds for the continuance of community service which has big possibilities in training for better citizenship. There are hundreds of our people In Omaha who can give from $5 to $25 each for this uplifting agency, without asking or expecting a single cent from gen erous hearted white friends. Show your independence, manliness and race-pride by giving towards a gen erous fund for the support of an agency in which all should be deeply interested. FIFTY-THIRD ANNUAL COUNCIL DIOCESE OF NEBRASKA The fifty-third annual council of the Episcopal Church in the Diocese ot' Nebraska opened with an impressive service and a record-breaking congre gation in Trinity Cathedral last Fri day morning, and closed with an in spiring missionary mass meeting par ticipated in by all the congregations of Omaha and many from outside points, at Brandeis theatre, Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock. Bishop Shay leFs annual address to the council was a masterly analysis of present day conditions and a clarion call to the flock entrusted to his oversight to measure up to their Christian respon sibilities in battling against the forces of unrighteousness entrenched no longer in a world, of pagan apathy, but the world of decisive combat. De structive forces are at work which de mand aggressive and militant Chris tianity. Foundations of home life are threatened. The yellow strand ot Jealousy, the red strand of lust, the black strands of unbelief are often woven together into the domestic fab- : lie. The ineptitude of childre to wards religious education and the In difference of parents regarding It pre sent an awful prophetic picture of the future. The holleBt things In love and life are reduced to the level of i lust and bestiality. A devilish greed I is abroad In the land. Brutal forces are dominating. “Might is right” has been accepted in many places us true American, doctrine. These are condi tions which only an aggressive, virile Christianity can successfully over come. Sunday’s mass meeting was addressed by Bishop MorriBon of Iowa who spoke on “Christ For the World,” and by Bishop Woodcock of Kentucky who moved, swayed and thrilled his vast audience by one of the most ef fective speeches delivered in this city on “The World For Christ.” St. Philip's congregation was well represented at ell sessions and serv ices of the council. Rev. John Albert Williams as secretary of the diocesan board of missions presented its re port to the council, was apoplnted on the committee on Church Extension and reappointed as one of the exam ining chaplains of the diocese, a po sition which lie has filled for a num he.' of years.
