PAUL PRES BYTERIAN CHURCH Twenty-sixth and Seward Streets— Russel Taylor, Pastor. At the morning services the Sun day school children rendered an in structive program on our mission work in Mexico. We are going to give more concern to our great mis sionary programs than we have in the past, and we commend our super ' intendent who, working under very unfavorable conditions, was able to put over the program and secure a contribution for our work in Mexico of $2.00 from the Sunday school chil dren. The pastor was very busy the fore part of the week attending the meet ing of the Presbytery. By special re quest of the stated clerk of Presby tery he was asked to address the body in behalf of St. Paul’s. The impres sion made was very favorable and there is little doubt but that St. Paul will receive more favorable considera tion from the Presbytery. Ruling [Elder Calvin H. Spriggs represented the church in Presbytery, Monday, and Ruling Elder R. T. Kerr perform ed the same function Tuesday after noon. To thus have our laymen in the Presbytery and higher courts of the church has been one of the pastor’s greatest desires and means much to the church. When she shall have or ganized our Women’s Missionary So ciety, which organization will be ef fected very soon, then our women will have opportunity to meet with the women’s organization of Presby tery and Synod and thus by the con tact become more familiar with the work and aims of the church. Mrs. H. B. Taylor accompanied by Mrs. Minnie Spriggs met the Wom en’s Missionary Society of the North Presbyterian Church last Friday. Mrs. Taylor addressed the society in behalf of the general work of the church for our people with special emphasis on the work and needs of St. Paul’s. With almost unanimous voice those present declared from the information given they had new light and hence new zeal for the work. Sunday morning services will be in keeping with Boys’ Day. The St. Paul male quartet will render special music. Dr. Augustus Edwards, senior physician of the city, will deliver the laymen’s address to the boys. There will the regular services Sun day evening.

In fact ever since he conducted the concert given under the auspices of the Colored Commercial Club in the City Auditor ium two years since, several promin ent white citizens among them Mr. S. S. Caldwell has urged to effect such an organization. There seemg now to be a demand for such from our own people. There is no reason why that with the excellent musical talent In Omaha, there should not be such an organization. Its advantages are al most limitless. To this end therefore I am issuing a call for all interested! in an organ ization to meet at the St. Paul Pres byterian Church, Thursday, 8:00 p. m. that steps may be taken towards "such an organization. I am very pleased to say that I en couraged to take this step because of the fact that Mrs. Frederick Di vers and Mrs. M. H. Reeves, the er ficient organist of the Pilgrim Bap tist church, both of whom are excep tionally accomplished musicians both as to\ piano and voice, join me most heartily in thie call.—Russel Taylor. EASTER AT ST. PHILIP’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH The Church of St. Philip the Dea con was filled with worshippers at the 6:30 a. m. and 11:00 o’clock ser vices Easter Day, and the children’s vesper service also brought out a good number. The early service was a plain celebration of the Holy Com munion, while the 11:00 o’clock ser vice was full choral and included shortened matins, the Holy Eucharist and sermon. The altar and chancel were beautifully decorated with East er lilies and cut flowers and the cus tomary lights including the tall Pas chal candle, which symbolizes Christ’s Presence during the great forty days between Easter and Ascension. The music was excellent under the direc tion of Mrs. Florentine F. Pinkston, choir director with Mrs. John Albert Williams at the organ and Worthing ton L. Williams, violinist. The solo parts in Schilling’s beautiful anthem, “Christ, Our Passover” were admir ably rendered by Weldon Solomon, tenor; Miss Ernestine Singleton, alto, and Mrs. Augustus Hicks, soprano. HURRIED WITH MILITARY HONORS “Bookie” Harper, son of Mrs. Bessie Woods, died at the home of his moth er, 1002 South Thirteenth street, Sun day momin.
