ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH
NOTES,
The Rt. Rev. H.B. Parks, Bishop of
the Fifth Episcopal District of the A.
M. E. Connection, preached at St.
John Sunday morning. The subject
was: “Your Besetting Sin." The
discourse was instructive and power
ful from every angle. The Bishop
was delighted with the large apprecia
tive congregation, the splendid sing
ing by the choir and the generous of
fering by the people. The collection
for the day, $101.00, and 3 persons
united with the church. He remained
over the guest of his friends, Rev. and
Mrs. Osborne, till Tuesday evening.
Monday evening special prayer ser
vice was conducted by Mrs. J. H.
Glover. Tuesday evening Rev. M. B.
Wilkinson, Pastor of Mt. Moriah
Church, preached a practical gospel
sermon on “Sins of Omission.” The
audience was inspired and a real pene
costal feast was enjoyed. Bishop
Parks ably emphasized the “Sins of
Omission,” teaching a great unthought
of le^on by many along that line.
The Captains of the Missionary
Campaign met at the residence of
Mrs. Lulu Rountree on Monday eve,
and completed the plans of the or
ganization. One of the most interest
ing features of the plan will be the
Tuesday night Forum, which will be
gin January 3, with a splendid pro
gram, and from time to time the com
mittee intends to have on each pro
gram some of the most able men and
women of the community of both
races to address the Forum on Civic
Righteousness, Social Betterment,
Juvenile Work, Health Hints, Etc.,
subjects that will interest and in
struck the people and draw large
crowds, because of that fact, the com
mittee will always have lunches and
refreshments at each meeting.

Westbound.
This was the train I took. It is
a through train from Chicago to Den
ver. It leaves Chicago at 11:20 one
night; Omaha at 4:20 the next after
noon and is due in Denver at 7:15 the
following morning. Many of the pas
sengers on this train have come from
various points east and south of Chi
cago, and, in normal times, from be
yond seas. So you can see how cos
mopolitan the passenger list of the
average trans-continental or mid- con
tinental train is. This train, No. 15,
Union Pacific System out of Omaha,
has as its equipment, a buffet
observation car, Pullman twelve-sec
tion drawing room cars, Pullman six
teen-section tourist sleeping car, free
reclining chair cars, dining car service,
with of course its proper complement
of baggage and express cars. It
comes out of Chicago as No. 3, Chi
cago and Northwestern, and Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Paul and becomes
No. 15, Union Pacific out of Omaha.
-Saturday’s Home Bound Crowd
Did you ever notice that Saturday’s
trains are always well filled? It
seems to be the day of the home-going
crowd.
The afternoon train of Saturday,
December 30 was no exception to the
rule. Indeed, I believe that the crowd
of home-going passengers was larger
because it was the end of the year
and many were going home for New
Years.
I The train out of Omaha was crowd
led and left nearly thirty minutes late.
II secured a seat in chair car No. 6020.
I The porter in charge was one of the
oldest men in the service, Edward
Marsh of Omaha. My seat mate was
a pleasant middle-aged man who got
off the train at Columbus, where a
great many more passengers got on.
[Here a well built fellow of about 50,
whose name I subsequently learned to
jbe Emry, a farmer near Sioux City,
boarded the train and asked pleasant
ly:
“May I have this seat,?” indicating
the vacant one next to me.
My reply was, “Certainly, sir; I’m
entitled to, and can only occupy one.”
He said laughingly, “I guess your
right. Thank you." And down he
sat.
We got into a conversation and I
learned that he was on his way to
Central City, to attend the funeral of
his father, who had just passed away
at the age of eighty-four years and
whom he had visited but a short time
before.
The folk around were friendly and
before the journey ended, I had made
the acquaintance of several, and had
pleasant conversations with them. Of
these folk I shall tell you later. My
only observation now is this: How
much easier would life be for each
of us on street or car, if everybody
simply tried to be pleasant as were my
fellow passengers on chair car 6020,
on No. 15 Union Pacific train, on my
recent trip from Omaha to Denver.
