Former Pastor Will Hold
•Revival
Rev. E. H. Hilson, the former pastor
of Salem Baptist church will return
to Omaha, on April IB to conduct a
two weeks revival- Rev. Hilton will
be remembered by Omaha ns as the
Pastor of Salem Baptist church when
it was on 23rd and Clark st. with a
hand full of willing workers, and af
ter a few months the congregation in
creased to such a nextent that the
place became too small and they pur
chased the place from Clair Chapel at
22nd and Seward St. They then re
modeled it and it has grown into a
large church.
It is said by the officers of this
church that not one cent of the money
used t opurchase and remodel this
church was solicited from any other
race group than our own. The labor
and remodeling work was done bj
friends and workermen of our own
group- .
The pride of the members of this
church that they are the youngest
church in Omaha and not owe a cent
to anyone. They paid cash for the
church and the remodeling as it came.
