OBSERVE FOREFAIHERS' DAY
Omaha Congregationalists Commemorate the
Landing of Pilgrim Fathers.
FITTING PROGRAM AT HILLSIDE CHURCH
Address of the Evening Delivered by
DR.. 4. L.. Frisbic, an Eminent
congregational Divine
of Dcs Moincs.

In commemorative of the landing of the
Pilgrim fathers on the bleak shores of New
England, December 81, 1920, the Congrega-
tionalists of Omaha joined in a reunion at
Hillside church Thursday evening. The oc-
casion has long been celebrated by the Con-
gregationalists of the country as "Forefather
day" and its observance was general among
all of the churches of this denomination in
the United States yesterday. The women of
Hillside church arranged a sumptuous din
ner, which was served in the church par
lors, beginning at $50 and continuing until
a great many had partaken of their bounty.
Following this came a general social time,
participated in by leading Congregational
lists of the city.
At s o'clock a program b%eftting the oc-
casion began in the audience room of Hill
side church. The capacity of the ediice was
taxed to accommodate the large number who
had Joined to pay homage TO the forefathers.
Rev, Jacob Flock delivered the address of
welcome, and responses were made by Rev.
DR.. Hubert c. Herring, pastor of the First
Congregational church, and Rev. DR.. Sar-
gent, pastor Of st. Mary's Avenue Congrega-
tional church. After prayer by Rev. l.. S.
Hand, pastor of Saratoga church, Miss
Schneider rendered a vocal solo, Fear Ye
Not" by Dudley Buck.
The address OF the evening was delivered
by Rev. DR.. A. l.. Frisbie, an eminent Con-
gregationalist divine from Des Moines. He
described the motives which prompted the
Pilgrim fathers to leave their homes in Eng
land and search out for themselves new
homes across the ocean, Their landing on
American soil witnessed the foundation of
the Congregational church in the new king
dom. From this modest beginning it has
grown until lS Influence IL now far-rpaph-
ing. DR.. Frisbie gave due credit to the fore
fathers for their perseverance and their en-
ergy and credited the growth not only OF
Congregationalism, but Of all denominations
Christianity, to their loyalty and faithful
ness.

JEWISH CHAUTAUQUA PLANS
Mrs. Minnie ID. Louis. National Field
Secretary, Talks of the Or
ganization.

Mrs. Minnie d. Louis Of New York, ma
tional field secretary of the Jewish Chau-
tauqua, is in the city in the interests of the
work with which she is identified. Tonight
Mrs. Louis will speak at Temple lsreal and
the purpose of her visit is TO organize a
Jewish educational circle which will pursue
the lines of study laid Town by the ChaU-
tauqua. Speaking of her work, Mrs. Louis
said:
The Jewish Chautauqua was organized
about seven years ago. The founder Of the
society was DIR, Henry Berkowitz Of Phila-
delphia, who is the present chancellor. Our
president is Hon. Simon Wolf of Washing
ton. The office of national field secretary,
which | occupy, is a recently created one.
My duties consist OF travelling over the
country and interesting the Jewish people
in the work of the organization and the sub
sequent establishment of Chautauqua cir
Giles. The Jewish Chautauqua Is constructed
on the same plan as the general Chautauqua.
Specifically, however, it's purpose is for the
study of Jewish history and literature. Our
idea is TO extend the scope OF the society
and spread its influence among the people
of the states. The national gathering Of
Chautauquas held in st. Louis in November,
when the numerous assemblies OF the United
States were federated, our society was rec
ognized as one of the most important ones.
We have held general assemblies during
the past three years at Atlantic City, n. j..
1T is my desire to establish a ChautauGua
circle among the Jewish people Of Omaha.
| have talked over the matter with Rabbi
Simon and he has anticipated the work to a
certain extent, having started some relig-
ious educational work, | hope to have this
converted into a Chautauqua, as our plan
is along the same line as that which Rabbi
Simon has already established. / do not
wish to supplant nor alter anything that has
already been accomplished in this line
Mrs. Louis IS now stopping at one Of
the leading hotels, but during her visit here
will be entertained by some OF the prominent
Jewish families of the city, Before leaving
this section she expects to visit Council
Bluffs, Lincoln, Sioux City and other mid
western cities for the purpose of organizing
Chautauqua circles.

FLICKERING CANDLE LIGHT
B~runswick Hotel Plunged Into Dark
ness and C%hiIIiness for Alleged
linDucn Account.

But for the Pickering light of timid
candles and such itful heat as could be
improvised, there was darkness and cold at
the Brunswick hotel last night. The gas
company had turned off the lights for al
legged delinquency Of current account and
the stoker did not keep the steam heating
plant in operation,
In the midst OF the confusion Judge Dick
inson was aroused from his bed and the
power OF the courts was invoked. The plain
tiff in the proceedings was Charles e. Oar
lington, a patron OF the Brunswick, who as
serts that he has paid in advance TO the
first OF the year for his lodgings. He prayed
the court 10 issue an order restraining John
Pierce, proprietor OF the house, from turn
ing off the light and heat. Judge Diekin-
son granted the order and the case Is set
for hearing December 30. Mr.. Pierce's plea
is that he could not help the existing con
ditions.
