Twenty-fith and R Streets—Phone

hardt, Pastor.
Sunday services were very good but
the attendance was not up to the
standard; but you know we are the
only race of people as far as I know
in the world that a little rain will
prevent us from going to church, and
strange to say that same rain won’t
prevent us from going anywhere else
we want to go—but church.
Rev. Mr. Brown preached us two
ajim mm jwi m mganiuim ji.i 1.1 am iut iwg \
splendid sermons Sunday and we had
‘a great meeting at the newly organ
ized mission at 3 p. m. Mr. Brown
preached and in the evening Rev. A.
Rayford had charge of the services.
Sunday we trust may be a great
day with us. Allen chapel is a new
church spiritually and if you really
want to enjoy a religious treat we
cordially invite you to come and wor
ship with us. Sunday afternoon at
3 o’clock we will have preaching serv
ices at 4921 South Twenty-fifth
street, the newly organized mission, as
well as the services each night of the
week. South Omaha needs a good
mission for our people where all
classes can come and hear the gospel.
Remember you are always welcome
at Allen chapel—come and bring your
friends!
