A Short Historical Sketch of the Church (Continued from PagS One) This church was organized on May 8, 1358 with sixteen members, by Rev. D. L. Hughes. The first services were Ik-Id in a school hcuse on Marble street at Eleventh. The church soon in creased to sixty members with a Sabbath School of eighty. In 1865 a brick church building was erected at Sixth and Main streets at a cost of $3,000 which seated 250. The pulpit is in use today down stairs. The present brick church was built in 1889 having a seating capacity of 400. The pipe organ cost. $1,500 and was the gift of the Ladies Aid Society. The pastorate included those of Rev. D. L. Hughes; supply, James Coale; Rev. William Hamilton; licentiate C. D. Roberts; Rev. Daniel Cameron; Rev. Wm. T. Bartle, and Rev. John T. B.iird D.D., who served this church from 1875 to 1905, a term of thirty years. Dr. Band was a man of true SDiritual ability. The present building was erected under his leadership. He was the stated clerk of the Synod cf Nebraska for thirty three years. This church became an outstanding leader in this territory. Under Dr. James Salsbury's pastorate of four years, the indebtedness was completely cleared and the mortgage burned. Many new members were added in the two years of Dr. Lew Wallace Gade's ministry. Then Rev. M. W. Lori mer became stated supply fcr ten months. Tne present pastor, Dr. H. G. McClusky, be gan his ministry in 1914. Some of the features of his pastorate are the addition of 938 members, the baptism of 261 adults, and 310 infants, 532 funerals, 432 weddings, preaching 1,584 sermons. In 1933. the seventy-fifth anniversary was celobrpted. One hundred fifty-two new members were add?d to the church in that year due to an efficient evangelistic committee, of which Henry Schneider was the chairman. In 1935 a disastrous fire caused a recon struction of the church which cost nearly $10,000. The present arrangement of the Sanctuary brought the church into a modern and impressive worship Temple of God. In this pastorate thirty-six elders have been ordained of whom Foster Patterson attended the General Assembly at Cleveland, and elder War ren Scharfenberg is commissioned to attend at Seattle, Washington this May. Dr. McClusky was elected Moderator of the Synod of Nebraska at Kearney in 1942. The history of the choir has been an out standing one, under the trained leadership of nineteen choristers. The present choir is second to none under the able direction of David Fowler. Mrs. Russell Recder, who graciously came from Fremont to sing for us today, led our choir very capably from 1933 to 1946. Mrs. Verna Goos has been the very efficient organist for 40 years. She is a beloved part of our church history. We have had thirteen Sabbath School su perintendents. Our present, Ralph Wehrbein, is one of the best. He is capable, faithful, and be loved of all the students. Our Faculty of teachers today are a credit to the Kingdom of God in spiritual loyalty in their service. Only in Heaven will we learn their wealth in labor wages in the sacred vineyard. We today give thanks to God for His approval of our place in His Temple for discipleship. May we all follow- His leadership as we tackle the ominous attack of pagan ruthlessness, and be well assured the gates of Hell cannot prevail, for His Truth goes marching on.

LOUIS (U.R) Shoe design ers in this footwea.r manufactur ing center are out to put the lad ies back into spats and buttoned shoes by fall. Th St. Louis Shoe Manufact urers Association says it is turn ing back the fashion pages to fine bcrding, high button spats, scalloped pinking- and jeweled net ornaments for the new fall lines of women's footwear. , The stylists won't go all the way back, though. Just enough to keep in step with present fe minine fashions. For instance, the new spat Ehoes wo.i't be much like the ones grandma wore when she stepped out. They're scheduled to be light and airy in appear ance" One style, in particular, will have cutwork all around the que.' tcr. And about button. Don't go diecine in the attic trunk where Aunt Mamie put away the eld buttonhook. The pearl buttons on j next fall's shoes will be mostly for decorative purposes, although they still might be c handy gad get to latch a shoestring onto in an emergency.

In his review of "Equal Rights for Children," Rt. Rev. II. S. Haukap, V. F., of Indianola, said. "Are all American children entitled to public welfare bene fits, both those who attend semi public and governmental schools? American history shows' our ex ecutive branches of government and congress historically have shown both a passive and benev olent co-operation toward the religious education of all Ameri can citizens without discrimina tion. "The American tradition from George Washington to Franklin D. Roosevelt has' insisted on 're ligion and morality' as the sup port of our democracy. Discrim ination against American chil dren must not be injected into public welfare programs of fed eral aid for education on the score of religion." Mrs. R. L. Clinton, retiring president, made an appeal for clothing for refugee children. She aiked that each Catholic woman in the diocese contribute one new garment for a child and send it to the Vatican storeroom, Rome, before October 1. The Chris'topher movement, Robert T. Malone of Lincoln, said at the afternoon meeting, is merely an individual attempt en the part of a Christopher to implement his faith in God. A Christopher is one who strives by prayer and his every day life to bring Christian principles into the market place. GAMES PARTY jj 3 Sponsored by Good Cause Kensington 1 i at ST.
