CHURCH 25th and R Streets—Tel. Market 3475 O. J. Hurckhardt, Pastor. Where are you going Sunday? To church, of course. What is the occa sion ? Don’t you know it'e Mother's Day and every intelligent man and woman In Omaha who has love and respect for the memory of that pre cious Mother who has entered into eternal life will be at some church Sunday. Don’t you also know that those whose mothers are living, out of respect and gratitude of their hearts for the pains and toils their mothers have endured to make life worth while, will be at church as a token of appreciation for the same. Yes, they will be there unless there are condi tions over which they have no control to prevent them, and then we are sure they will put forth a supreme effort to remove any obstacle before they will be satisfied not to come. Sunday was a great, day with us. Rev. P. M. Harris preached at 8 p. m. on “Loyalty to Christ”. On Mother’s Day the pastor will preach morning and evening. At the 11 a. m. service the subject will be “A Mother’s love” and at. 8 p. m., "A Mother's Worth”. We are expecting a crowded house. .1. B. Thomas is getting on nicely ut St. Joseph’s hospital. Mother Oray and Helm are able to be out to church. Sarah Jones is yet bothered with rheumatism. CHIROPRACTOR COMES TO CITY Fred W. Sargent, D.
