Nebraska
From Tkursday's Dally
Yesterday occurred the mid-year
inspirational joint luncheon of the
Woman's Home and Foreign mission
ary societies of Omaha district Meth
odist ladies, pastors being invited
also. It was held in Stuntz hull on
south Tenth street in Omaha and
over two hundred members from
over the district enjoyed the good
fellowship of the meeting. Stuntz
hall was formerly Brownell hall, a
school for girls supported by the
Episcopal church. Uoder the vision
of Bishop Stuntz it was purchased
by the Methodists to be made into a
home for working girls where they
jriitrht find a safe, comfortable and
congenial place to live as desired. It
has been remodeled until that which
is finished looks like a new building
ami altho first called "Frances Wil-'t'rs. 0,11 boards, filling
lard Home for Girls," after the death stations, etc. Also a
of Bishop Stuntz was renamed as airt'al honest-to-goodness
memorial for him.
The program for the afternoon
was held in the main parlor and de
votionals led by Mrs. Allen wife of
pastor of First church. Mrs. Tiffey,
district president of the foreign de
partment opened the meeting, in
troducting Mrs. Bradshaw who sang
very appropriately, "A Voice Crying
in the Wilderness." Miss Ella Wat
son of Lincoln, the corresponding
secretary of Topeka branch of W. F.
M. S. gave a talk on the foreign pro
gram for the year and encouraged
us by commendations which came
from such men as Arthur llobson,
who places us in the highest class
of corporations for the most efficient t
and far-reaching expenditure of
money, and Mr. Boyd, one of the
vice presidents of the Curtis Pub-i
lishing Co.. who personally would'
give $1,000 for a project in India
and pay the expenses of the agent
to put it over, if the W. F. M. S.
would handle it, because of his confi
dence in the ability of our organiza
tion to do it right.
Then C. C. Wilson, district presi
dent of the Home department in
troduced Miss Irene Thomas, a native
of Iowa, but one of the twelve na
tion field secretaries, who spend their
time traveling over the some hun
dred conferences in the U. S., mak
ing addresses, organizing new fields,
and taking public offerings to aid
the local auxiliaries in meeting their
obligations. Miss Thomas introduced
Jier talk with a wonderful solo,
"Who Is My Neighbor" and went
directly into her subject on Interna
tional relations as viewed from the
Christian standpoint. She made no
excuses but held us up to view as a
nation which calls itself christian,
yet has been and is still so careless
in carrying out the principles and
teachings of the only leader of all
that comes under the head of Chris
tian. In our industrial world we
have forgotten that all men were
created free and equal and not to be
exploited for the benefit of a few,
or success of corporation; examples
being given from the cotton indus
try of the south and mines and fac
tories of the north, and also in plant
ing American industry in foreign
lands, contrary to regulations de
manded at home and selling tobacco
and liquors in Chinese ports, con
trary to the laws of our home land.
The racial problem, so long as cank
erous thing in our midst, is best met
and treated by Christian principles
as has been proven if we take time
to study what has been done. While
we all agree that the United States
must not be the dumping ground
for eastern countries, we should ever
temper our legislation with the
teaching of Christ, who himself was
an easterner and remember the prin
ciples on which our own nation was
founded insofar as civic and religious
liberty is concerned.
Space would not allow us to. say
more, but locally the societies were
represented by fourteen ladies, who
were enthusiastic in their apprecia
tion of the privilege to see and hear
results of the sometimes tedious local
work and who were very grateful ta
the gentlemen who so kindly gava
their time and cars that so many
might attend.
NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH
Sunday afternoon while skating on
one of the old sand pits near Cedar
Creek, Harold Stoll of this place nar
rowly escaped drowning. He was
skating along and suddenly ran over
thin ice and broke thru. He man
aged to hold on the ice until other
skaters were able to find a hoard
and pull him out. The water where
he broke through is estimated to be
twenty feet deep and fortunately he
did not go clear under the ice or he:
might have drowned. Frequently un-
der such occasions one goes under -
the ice and being unable to find the
opening he went through drowns be
fore help can be of any avail. Har
old is a fair swimmer and being used
to the water possibly kept him from
losing his head and possible death,
t After he was extricated from the
pond he was taken to the Ault house
where he was given a new change of
clothing and has suffered no ill ef
fects from his cold bath.
He went to Cedar Creek with about
twenty other young folks from this
place to enjoy a skating party during
the afternoon and evening. They all
had a big time during the afternoon.
Fires were built and lunch was pre
pared near 'the skating place and
Miss Bernico Ault and brother Ger
ald supplied them with hot cocoa and
other delicacies for lunch. However,
the - skating was abandoned when
Harold -went through the Ice and
everyone went to the Ault" home to
finish the evening.- Nehawka. Enterprise.
