CHURCH ON FARNAM STREET
New Edihce for First Christian VIII
Go on Lot at Nineteenth
Street.

The ofacial board Of the First Christian
church has purchased the lot at the cor
ner OF Nineteenth and Farnam streets as
the site for its new church building. 1t
is announced by the pastor OF the church,
Harry G. Hill. that with the completion
OF the new building the First Christian
church will become institutional, caring
for the minds and bodies Of the members
and attendants as we'll as their souls. II
is the intention to provide in addition to
the auditorium and Sunday school rooms
a reading room, gymnasium, baths, rooms
where games may be played and a domes-
tic science department for the instruction
Of those who desire enlightenment along
those lines.
In order to carry out this plan 1t is
said that the building will occupy the en-
tire lot and will be designed along novel
lines Of architecture. being one OF the
first buildings in the west to be erected
for the identical purpose. Work will
probably begin early In the spring and tho
building will be completed by fall.
1t Is expected that the auditorium will
have a seating capacity Of 1900 people. the
: largest Of any church in the city. Its cen
trail location WAS the principal reason for
the purchase of the lot. it being Of easy
access from all parts of the city. The
nucleus Of the building fund has been
secured from the sale Of the present
church building. The fund will be in
creased by the sale Of the lot on which
the old building stands and the remainder
OF the money will be raised by donations
Of members and other citizens Of Omaha.

HIKING ON THE CAR TRACKS

Maker gave them in the beginning, but all

hour were still busy in the furnace room
with their asbestos mittens or in the MUIR

Thus forced to use the middle Of the

spectators with an interesting exhibition

Deputy Dunn are arguing for the state. The

of transacting business, also that the in
formation contained only a recital instead
of an allegation of fact.
