CENTER UNION (O'Neill)
Rev. M. H. Grosenbach, pastor
The homecoming services
were a real success. We had
the best kind of weather, rec
ord crowds, and a record spiri*
of fellowship and cooperation.
The young people of the
church did well in rendering
their special songs and the
niavlet. “The Challenge of the
Cross.” The thought was that
each of us has a personal re
sponsibility to God, and God
has a personal reward for the
true and faithful and to the
sinner.
Rev. Walter Cole, of Glen
wood, la., a former boy of this
community, brought the eve
ning message, his subject be
ing: “The Crisis of the Cross
Roads.” Our everyday choices
in social affairs, in business,
and in religion are helping
seal our eternal destiny.
Rev. Hollingshead, of Long
Pine, gave a talk on the Sun
day - school lesson Sunday
morning and Rev. Harry Udd.
of Omaha, brought the morn
ing message with the thought
that we owe each other our
prayers in times of trouble and
disappointment.
Basket dinner was served to
around 200 people at noon un
der a tent, near the church.
In the afternoon service, wo
used a sound system for thu
benefit of quite a number that
could not get into the church
for that service.
The history of the church
was given by Mrs. J. K. Ernst.
Mrs. John Dick gave a few

amusing things that have hap
pened down *hrough the years.
Mrs. Roy Cole, of Page, read
some letters from old acquaint-*
ances that could not be pres
ent. The song, "O, That Will
Be Glory,” was sung in behal*
of those who have passed on
to their eternal reward. An
other memory song was "Thu
Church by the S.de of thu
Road.”
Rev. Turner, o f Minden,
brought the afternoon message
on “The Second Coming o',
Jesus Christ for His Own.”
The evening message wsa
brought by Rev. Earl Dix, q
returned missionary from Af
rica. His message was “Seek
First the Kingdom of God and
His Righteousness and Al:
These Things Will Be Added
Unto You.” -
A men's quartet sang 7 songs
in our homecoming event. An
octette sang 2 songs, Mrs. Hel
en Strong sang a solo, “I’d
Rather Have Jesus.” Delberl
Dick sang "I Won't Have 11
Cross Jordan Alone.” Thu
Hollingshead trio and the Ho
mer Ernst daughter tr,o each
sang a song.
This is just an idea of some
of our program and we all said
we had a gracious time in the
Lord in this 43d annual home

Carcasses on River Bottom
Contrary to ‘Decency'
6P YEARS AGO
May 3, 1898
In answer to numerous in
quiries from different parts of
the globe as to the general
welfare and prosperity of O’
Neill, we would say that she
never felt better in her life.
Every day she adds some new
enterprise to her list. Only re
cently a steam laundry was
established here and we confi
dently expect a wooden shoe
and horse collar factory in the
near future.
There is some work in the
direction of removing carrion
from the bottom south of
town, whch should be at
tended to as promptly as
possible. It is a shame that
dead horses and cattle can
not be buried instead of
hauled to the river bottom.
The strong arm of the law
ought to be evoked to bring
about a reform in this mat
ter. Common decency and
the laws of health demand it.
The celebration of the 69th
anniversary of Odd Fellowship,
which was held in Atkinson
op the 26th, was a grand suc
cess, a fact to which all who
were present bear the same
testimony. The day was a
beautiful one, the sun shone
and the wind did not blow.
Judge Kincaid goes west to
Sioux county the last of the
week to open court there on
Monday morning and we are
authorized by him to say that
he is not a candidate for con

to politics.
