ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH “The Friendly Church.” Rev. L. P. Bryant, pastor. In spite of the many days of rain, last Sunday morning was a beautiful day and the attendance at church and Sunday-school was verv good. The teachers still urge the children to go to Sunday-school on time. Now that the Public schools are nearly out, there should be more out on time. Rev. Bryant preached a very fine sermon Sunday morning to an appreciative congregation. He put great stress on the importance of living an upright Christian life, as so manv people are now being taken without any warn ing. He stated that the man who is where the church is and does not have salvation, is as much in need as the man out where there are no churches. Now that the special efforts for the trustee department are about ever, the pastor will start to get ting: his conference claims to gether. It is the request of the pastor, that the different clubs and groups will get busy and get their part of the claims together before the time comes when all will be in a rush to get theirs in. | St. John’s senior choir is to sing over WOW next Thursday June 6th. We advise all to tune in and assure you. of a very inter esting and enjoyable program. Now that summer vacationing has come, and there will be many strange faces coming to Omaha during the coming months, we invite them to make St. John their church while in the city. There will be many interesting things going on in both the church and social circles, so have the boys to leave you an Omaha Guide, so you can keep well posted. CHRIST TEMPLE CHURCH. S. J. McIntyre, pastor. Sunday school opened at 9:30 as usual with the superintendent presiding. The pastor delivered an inspir ing message to us on, “The Man For All Circumstances,” in the morning worship. Through this message a young lady was saved, and joined the church. At the night worship we again enjoyed a splendid sermon on “The Excellent-' Name.’’ The pastor brought out so pointedly that there is no name that has the power and beauty as the name “Jesus.” On next Sunday, Childrens’ Day, which is the 9th, Mrs. Mc Intyre will give the program ren dered by the children at 3 o’clock. Come and enjoy the little folks. CLASSIFiED ADS FOR SALE 7 Rooms modern Home Cheap. Near 24th, and Lake Sts. Invest ors Investigate. WE-1149. FOR RENT Furnished Rooms for rent. We. 2303.

The pienic for the school child ren, given at Elmwood Park last Monday, was a splendid success. Over a hundred and twenty-five children were entertained by the members of the P. T. A., who fur nished their lunch and transporta tion, through {he generous assist ance of merchants and friends. Sister Mary Eulalia and Sister Mary Genevieve were the honored guests of the teachers of our school and enjoyed a delicious lunch with them. The religious instruction class started by the Pastor, Father Pruess, is creating unusual inter est among the converts and the prospective converts and bids fair to be the largest class of its kind held at St. Benedicts. Much of the interest is credited to Father A. J. Wilwerding, who started the convert movement several months ago. The classes will be held every Thursday evening at 8:00 o’clock promptly, in the church room, until further notice. We are delighted to welcome to our congregation, Mr. and Mrs. Squires and family. Mr. Squires is the recently appointed Execu tive Secretary of the Omaha Ur ban League and Community Center and comes from the im portant position of Secretary of Boys’ work of the Phillis Wheat ly organization, of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The entire family is catholic of long and excellent standing, and we are proud to be able to add them to the roll of St. Benedicts. PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIST CHURCH 22nd and Paul Sts. Mrs. B. King, clerk. Mrs. L. Keys, reporter. Rev. P. J. Price, pastor. Last Sunday was Rev. Price's birthday, also Deacon Spencer, Helen Moore and Dorothy Storm. The Sunday school gave everyone a birthday gift. The. Sunday school always gives everyone, who is present on his or her birth day, a present. Our offering was $1.50. At 11 a. m. service, our pastor preached some very nice topics. They are very uplifting if you take heed. Sunday afternoon at 3, the pastor and his congregation went to St. Luke Church for their first year anniversary. The pastor is Rev. Chrowder. Devotions were led by Mr. Green Pearl and Mr. Sheton Pearl. Prayer was lead by Rev. Wilhite; paper by Mrs. Florence Trippet, the subject: “Honesty,’’ sermon by Rev. P. J. Price; topic, “WThen My Father and Mother Forsake Me, Then, the Lord will Take Me Up.” Pleasant Green raised $3.02 for St. Luke. Monday evening a very nice party was given in honor of our pasotr’s birthday, by all auxili aries of the church. He received some very nice presents. The party was held at the home of Eulua Milton, on North 27th, Street. Clubs and auxiliaries served a delightful luncheon. We, the members, Sunday Seeks Protection From Kidnapers (Continued from Page One) and brought him to Omaha. Scorner of Estate But Young insisted he wasn’t Mc Elroy, wouldn’t go to Texas ,and wanted nothing nothing to do with the estate. Pollock argued in vain, then re turned to Texas to get the papers in order. He returned here two weeks ago with C. J. Lee of Hen derson, a boyhood friend of Mc elroy’s. Lee said Young was Mc elroy ,but Young still denied it. Monday afternoon Pollock took Young to his hoi el, locked the door, and “talked turkey. Young still wouldn’t sign. When he left, finally, he went to the police sta tion and asked to be protected against those who were irying to get him to sign. Demands Protection. The argument continued yester day with Young again at the police station loudly demanding protection. He was finally round ed up by McGee and three other Negro ministers all of them firm adherents to the Pollock cause. Young conferred with Chief of Detectives Andersen and City Prosecutor Robert Smith. Smith said Young’s friends in Omaha had told him they are convinced he is the missing heir. Smith suggested Young go to Texas, taking an escort of two Omaha policemen to protect him from possible kidnapping. But Young shook his head. Today McGee announced Young had signed on the dotted line and that everything was fixed up. But they are still uncertain whether Young can be persuaded to go to Texas. Pollock told him it was all right; that he needn’t say any thing and that his old friends would ideniify him. Inspector Anderson, who offered Monday to accompany Young to Texas and guard him personally, could not persuade Young to go. “I’m Not a-Goin,.” Until today, Young's refrain has been, “No, suh, I’m not a-goin’ to Texas!’’ He explained thus: ‘I’m a Christian man and I can’t get into the gates of heaven under anybody else’s name. My name’s Daniel Young, and I don’t want what belongs to somebody else.’’ He told his full family history to prove he wasn’t McElroy, but his friends remained unconvinced. Pollock said he sought McElroy purely as a business matter. He wanted McElroy to sign a power of attorney, or give him an option on the land. He said he had spent a year and a half and several thousand dollars in the search, and was afraid some rival might reach Omaha at the last minute to chisel in. The I^verend Mr. McGee thinks McElroy might donate somethnig to complete the Church of the New Hope, which so far is only a covered basement. Young at present does not have a church. school and B. Y. P. U., wish for Rev. Price many more happy birthdays. OMAHA COMMUNITY BIBLE FORUM Last Thursday, being Decora tion Day, as a tribute to the oc casion, we chose for a lesson the eleventh chapter of Hebrews. The lesson starts off with a broad defi nition of Faith. Now faith is the substance or confidence of things hoped for, the evidence or convic tion of things not seen. It is al ways looking for such things through the wisdom and power of God, as are proper objects of hope. The doctrine of this chap ter is that every noble purpose and every strong and efficient ef fort must have its source and de rive its working force from Faith. Today we honor our soldier dead, who gave their lives for the freedom of the slaves and to preserve the unity of the states and for Democracy, whose pur pose and Faith must have been prompted by their love of Justice and Equity for all people. The entire chapter is devoted to the Enumeration of examples from scripture history. These soldiers of the cross obtained a good report through Faith. They suffered and died, looking for a city, whose builder and maker is God. Elder W. I. Irving, supervisor.

Bearer (For the Literary Service Bureau) LEADERSHIP OF CHILDREN Text: A little child shall lead them. —Isaiah 11:6. 1This was a phophecy. It referred to Christ who was born a child. But it was indicative of the leadership of children and their influence over the lives of their elders. Today, in the ^cardinal virtues, the world would pro fit by following the leadership of I children. Childhood simplcity was emphasized when Jesus set a little child in the 1 midst of His disciples and designated it as an exemplar for mankind. Cheerfulness is another feature. |There is too much of gloom. The world is in need of the cheerfulness of a child, such as will beget the same spirit and cause cheerful reaction. Forgiveness constitutes one of the severest tests and in this the example of children is needed. Children for give, if they are conscious of offenses against them. Forgiving, they also forget the injuries done. As in these instances so, in all con siderations and affiliations, the best is attainable only by following the ex ample and accepting the spiritual leadership of children. Neighborhood News We are sorry to report the death of Mr. Steve Anderson, 53. He leaves a wife, stella, and two children. The family has our sympathy. Another sad report is the death of Mrs. Gertrude King, 38, of 1217 Pierce Street. She leaves a daughter, Nellie, 16, and a hus band, Mr. Jesse King. Her death was a shock to friends. Mrs. Mable Moore is still con fined to her bed, but is somewhat improved. She wishes to thank her many friends for their won derful attention during her sick ness.

Sat urday, he was seen on his route, questioned, released. When search for Coral started, several hours after the boy’s re port, Mrs. Stapler notified police. Word quickly passed through the small town, of Watts and all school children, idle men and housewives joined in one of the biggest man hunts in this vicinity. The child’s body was found 24 hours after she disappeared by two small Mexican boys playing hide and seek in vacant lot. She had not been attacked, autop sy revealed, nor had any part of her clothing been disturbed. There was also no sign of fright upon her face which might have indicated a struggle or anticipa tion of the horrible death that was her lot Investigators are of the opinion that someone familiar to the child enticed or carried her away and slipped the rope around her neck before she was aware. Her body was laid out under an old box car, as if with parental care, leaving no clue, except the rope, to the identity of the killer. No one saw the child leave her home except a Mexican woman, in red, who identified her later at the funeral. She is also said to have partially identified the man seen carrying the child, but officers would not reveal his name Coral Stapler is a niece of Coral and Elliott Johnson, the former, president of Alpha Kappa sorori ty; the latter, a recent candidate for presidency of the N. A. A. C. P., and both popular leaders in social and intellectual circles here. Henry Stapler, father of the dead child, is the younger member of one of the oldest and most prominent families in Los An geles. His sis.ers, Maudie Trok ey, modiste: Lula Henderson, beautician, and Homer Brothers, deputy City Clerk are well known in social circles. He is declared to be a skilled electrician and inventor of very eccentric habits. Inspector Norris Stensland stated after grilling the father many hours after the murder, that he had no evidence connecting Stapler with the child’s death. He was first held because of reported difficulties between himself and his wife. A coroner’s jury exonerated him. However, a deputy sheriff paraded him before neighbors in the vicinity of the child’s home to ascertain if he was the man last seen with the child.
