El wood, Kansas B.v Wilberta Brady Hello folks! Here I am again this week to X’isit with you a little while. There is not much news but here it is anyway. Quite a few El wood residents went to see the basketball double header at the Auditorium Mon day evening. The games wrere played by four outstanding teams. The first game played was New York Celtics vs. New York Wrens. The Wrens won 38 to 32. The second game was Philadelphia ' Sunday School j ^ • Lesson j j j ». | SUNDAY, JANUARY 22, 1950 Theme—The First Christian Martyr. I Peter 1:3-9. Witnessing to the truth has through the centuries always raised opposition. This has been particularly true in the fields of politics, science, and religion. We could only expect, therefore, that the initial proclamation of the gospel would result in opposition which would grow at last into persecution. Our lesson today deals with the death of Stephen, the first Chris tian martyr. We read in the verses immediately preceding our printed lesson text that “when the number of the disciples was mul tiplying, there arose a murmur ing . . .” This was not to be the last time that success would lead the church into dissension. Certain of the Greek-speaking Jewish Christians believed that their widow's were being ne glected in the distribution of food and other necessities in favor of ; the w'idows of Aramaic-speaking Jews. The apostles brought the matter before the whole church, asking them to nominate “seven men of good report, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom w’e j may appoint over this business.” All«of those appointed had Greek names, which speaks well for the fairness of the Aramaic-speaking Jews. They acted on the principle that the way to stop complaint was to to put the complainers on a com mittee to settle the matter at is sue. Stephen was one of this com mittee of seven, the members of w hich later come to be known as deacons. A Valiant New. Witness. The name Stephem means “c row n.” This brilliant _and courageous young man was3o JYSufc the honor of being the first person in the Christian church to wear the Spahs vs. Harlem Globetrotters. The Globetrotters.>won 55 to 45. At the half interval during the second game there w?as a special feature with an acrobatic team. Folks from far and near w'ent to St. Joseph to see those games. Mr. Willian and Mr. Robert Lee visited Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Brady and family Tuesday afternoon. We w’ere very sorry to hear of fhe death of Rev. Shakespeare’s father. We extend to you our deepest sympathy in your hour of sorrow, Rev. Shakespeare. Bye now! BERT. CLEARANCE I PRE-INVENTORY - STORE-WIDE Gigantic Dollar Savings!

Other Days 9:30 to 5:30 Dorothy Greene Reviews 1949 Social Life Everybody else is reviewing at this time of year, and I thought that Voice leaders might member a few of 1949’s social events, just for fun. To begin with, there was the Urban League dinner in January for which Msgr. Wegner of Boys Town spoke. It was well attended. In March, the young ladies of the teen age set (see cut above) entertained their mothers at one of the loveliest teas of the early Spring. On the 25th, the United Church Women’s kensington ob served their first anniversary with an elaborate celebration. The kensington also did sewing for their bazaar, the Red Cross and the Cedars home for children during the season. April came, and the Easter pa rade brought out lots of interest ing styles for the various Spring social events The recital given by Charles Bonds and Barbara Moody in May brought lots of interest to music lovers. In June, Les Kliques did it again when they gave their second annual lawn party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James H Dean. crowd of martyrdom. We read that he was “full of grace and power’’ and that he “wrought great wonders and signs among the people.” He had been ap pointed to a secular office—that of distributing food to the needy— but he made this an opportunity to do a great spiritual service. Furthermore, we note that the early church insisted that its fi nancial matters be handled by Mr. and Mrs. Sorensen tIs .•'.■am*'C&m The September 8th wedding of Camilla Palmer, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. E. Z. Palmer to Ted Sorensen, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Sorensen was noted for its uniqueness and its interracial character. They have been quite active in bettering community relationships. Imogene Washing ton assisted at the reception, Charles Goolsby helped usher. The Urban League Mardi Gras spiced Halloween and its hobby show was of wide interest. November brought the usual deluge of Thanksgiving exchange dinners and everybody ate lots of turkey. In December the United Church Women’s Kensington started things off in earnest with its affair on the 9th and the holi day festivities in the community did not end until well after New Year’s chimes had faded with the fleeting hours of '49. Master Delaney Edwin Delaney, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Delaney, you will remember, was chosen most popular in his social circle at Quinn Chapel. The July high light seems to have been the re ception for Rev. R. E. Edwards, who retired as mail carrier for downtown Lincoln after 30 years. Eighty-four guests were re ceived. In August the Mary Bethune Literary and Art Club went to Beatrice where they were guests of Rev. and Mrs. Al fred Newton for one of the sum mer’s most delightful outings. men who appreciated fully the spiritual ministry of the church. The policy has not always ob tained among modern congrega i tions. i m B B!»!IBllUtBi:iilB!»!B!lll Patronize Our Advertisers—they are making this publication pos sible. ■ ■ ■ ■ r m BEN FRANKLIN WAS A XWPVPTV GrENT 1 " ( I I | | i*' I i -d ( “ \ TO KNOW GOOD VALUES WAS WUS BENT TODAV WE KNOW OUST WHERE HE WENT gl 4 I_I /- ■ IT PAYS TO DEAL AT B CHEAPPER'S ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ § 9 i Save with safety ■ ■ I i h i , r SWKCCS « ■:.if Rl j ■ ■»
