Twenty-Nine
Years for Young
Men's Bible Class
Methodist Clmrch Group Last Even
ing Selects Officers for Year
Wilbur Hall President.
From Tuesday's Dal?y
The Young Men's Bible class of
the Methodist church last evening
gathered at "Sunnyside," home of
their teacher, E. H. Wescott, to start
the twenty-ninth year of their exist
ence as a class and are today the
only exclusive men's class in any of
the Sunday schools of the city.
The class was the outcome of a
general feeling among young men of
the community way back in 1906,
that they should have a class that
would be exclusively for the young
men of the community, they gather
ing at the Methodist church, then
recently built at the corner of Sev
enth and Main streets. The class met
for a time in the church with other
classes but still the urge was for
quarters of their own and the mem
bers of the class proceeded to carve
out of the clay foundation under the
church a small room which they could
call their own. From the beginning
the class attracted many of the young
men who were not affiliated with the
Methodist church but who wished the
opportunity for Bible study and
friendly association.
The class grew and the member
ship assisted the other men of the
church in the final excavation of the
basement of the church and the en
largement of their own room to ac
commodate the growing number of
members.
At the meeting last evening,
George Perry, retiring president,
gave a resume of the work of the
class in the past year and presented
the reports of the various officers of
the class.
In the election of officers the fol
lowing were chosen:
President Wilbur Hall.
Vice-President Earl Koebel.
Secretary W. L. Heinrich.
Treasurer Ward Whelan.
Song Leader Don C. York.
Class Promotion Chairman Ran
dall York.
Teacher E. H. Wescott.
The members of the party received
reports of the Bible class meeting at
Omaha and also enjoyed inspirational
talks by the pastor, Rev. C. QTroy
and J. Howard Davis, Sunday school
superintendent. "'
This meeting also marked the se
lection of Mr. Wescott as teacher for
the twenty-ninth year, he being a
charter member of the class and each
Sunday when the assembly hour ar
rived Kilt has always been found
at the class room and ready to Join
In the presenting of the lesson of the
day. He has been untiring In the
work of the class and has been a
friend and and counsellor to the
members of the class in their daily
troubles and problems.
Mr. Wescott had prepared to give
the class a treat but in turn was
surprised by the class associates com
ing with their own refreshments and
the "eats were not on the house."
