The Union Thanksgiving service
lie Id at the First Christian church
We-dne-sday evening was one of the
best from point of attendance and
program that has1 been held in Platts
mouth for some time. The Christian
church orchestra opened the program
wit'i an instrumental prelude, im
mediately following this the splen
did audience, in response to the pre
siding pastor, arose to their feet and
in uni?on with the choir and orches
tra sang out of full hearts the Hymn,
"America." Rev. Walter R. Robb
followed with a short invocation and
again the great assembly broke forth
in praises, singing the words of
"America, the Beautiful." The volume
and spirit with which these lines
were sung gave complete evidence
that gratitude for America with its
homes, its privileges, its exalted
form of government was truly the
actuating spirit of the assembly.
In keeping with the debt which
everyone present evidently felt they
owed U their. Maker, Mrs. Thelma
Nelson then expressed in the form
of a solo entitled "Jesus Is Calling

giving service followed on the part of
Rev. Robb, after which he introduced
to the audience Reverend O. G.
Witbman. the new minister of St.
Paul's Evaneelical church who read
the words of the 95th Psalm. The
audience and choir again responded
in song with the words of "Abide
With Me." Following the song Rev.
H. G. McClusky lei the congregation
in a prayer of real appreciation for
life's blessings expressed in words of
splendid thought.
The audience then received from
Frank A. Oloidt a splendid tenor
solo entitled "My Task," the words
and music of which were greatly ap
preciated by his hearers.
Rev. Robb then introduced to the
waiting audience. Evangelist Nelson
Gardner who brought to the congre
gation the Thanksgiving sermon. The
evangelists delivered a truly great
message and many were the expres

Bridge Here is a

Natural Highway From Iowa and

FroTn Saturday's D.n'ly
The hundreds of cars that crossed
here on the Missouri river ft rry
Thursday morning enroute from the
neighborinc states of Iowa and Illin
ois, were a clear-cut demonstration
of how much a wagon and auto bridr
over the Miss'oiiri river at this point
is net led. not alone as the conven
ience 10 the traveling public that
now has to make' long 'It-tours in
crossing the bid Muddy, but to the
great agricultural country that lies
b.-twecn 'hi- city westward to
state capital.
the
1 tie iesire tor a Iirielge lu re is
is not
only felt in this city and the imme
diate vicinity but every section f
Cass and part of Lancaster county,
iiicludinc Lincoln, are heartily in
support of the proposition of having
a bridge placed at this city that will
give- a direct route from southern
anl central Iowa and northern Illin
ois westward ami open up this s-r-'
ion of the state to a iie-w tin' of
transcontinental auto travel.
The We eping Water citizens re (-'fitly
expressed their deep interest ir.
tiie matter and now Plitor G.irdn't
of the Eagle Beacon is aelding his
part on the behalf of the resident? of
that section of the county for a Mis
souri r'ver bridee at Piattstnouth
that will afford a more direct route
to travelers from both the- erst ane)
the west and give them th'" oppor
tunity of see-ins one of the f.re-st
sections of country' in the United
States as well as the array of fine lit
tle citie-s of which ('as county can
boast.
The securing of the hrielrre here
would be one of the greatest benefit
to this section of the state that could
possibly be desired and it should be
the goal of the effort? of the resi
dents of Plattsmouth and Cass county
for 192C. to make this a reality and
rnake'a free bridge over the Missouri
river a part of the great hichway
system that wiM -kooii b u part of
Cass county. In this project the
citizens of Cass county would be Join
ed by the residents of our neighbor
ing county of Queen Mills, across the
river in Iowa.
