HARMON TALKS AT
REDEEMER CHURCH
New Pastor breaches His First
Sermon Sunday Morn
ing in Temporary
Quarters.

Rev. c. B. Harmon preached his
first sermon as pastor of the Lutheran
Church of Our Redeemer yesterday
morning, His subject was Gods
Voice, Mans Echo"
"As the echo of a loud voice is
heard when it reverberates against
the hills, so the echo of Gods voice is
heard when it reaches the hearts of
true and sincere people" said DR..
Harmon. We begin today spiritual
relation as pastor and people which
we believe is the direct result OF the
leading of God. 1t has been brought
about because Gods voice has found
its echo in our hearts.
What does Gods voice say? Paul,
in his epistle to the Hebrews, declares
the word of God to be I will never
leave thee nor forsake thee And in
the next verse Paul quotes the echo
which Gods voice finds in the hearts
OF His people, namely, The Lord is
my helper and | will not fear what
man shall do unto me-
God Is Responsible.
"A great work is before US here in
this church. 1t is a splendid field and
the work is waiting to be done. 1t will
be hard at times; discouragements will
come, but through it all let us remem-
Der that it is Gods work. He is re-
sponsible for it. We are required
merely to be faithful and to do the
best we can. Having done that we
need have no fear whatever. The re-
suit will be entirely in the hands OF
God"
The Church of Our Redeemer was
organized less than a year ago by
Rev. w, T. Kahse, synodical mission
ary, who has been supplying the con-
gregation as pastor until now. Rev.
DR.. Harmon was called to this charge
from North Platte, Neb., where he
was pastor for a number of years
and where he and his congregation
built new church. He was president
of the Lutheran synod of Nebraska
last year. His new charge has already
a good start with a growing Sunday
school and - considerable list OF
church members. The robed choir of
IS voices is we'll trained. The con-
gregation is holding its services tenn
porarily in the Prairie Park hall,
Twenty-sixth street and Ames avenue.
At the morning service yesterday
w. F. Kedde and w. w. Frankfurt
were installed as new members of the
church council.

gan a 30-day showing in local the
aters at the Strand yesterday. 1t is a
movie depicting the need for and
work OF the Omaha free dental dis
pensary for children, instituted last
year by prominent Omaha dentists.
DR.. F. F. Whitcomb, sponsor for the
dispensary, which is located at 758

Three Omaha children, Gordon
Pray, Ellen Myers and Bess Laverty,
are the stars. Thirty other children
appear in the film and in one scene
there is a playground with 800 chill
dren. Miss Charlotte Townsend, head
of the school nurses, two Brandeis

Need for Dispensary Work.
"We want the people of Omaha to
realize what pressing need exists
for dental dispensary work and how
our institutions is trying to fill that
need. Well-cared-for teeth will do
much to remedy a low standard in
studies. Poor health is often the result
of diseased teeth" said DR.. Whit
comb.
Scenes in the movie show the in
ception of the dental dispensary work,
school rooms where the nurses cx-
anime the children and the different
phases of the work in the dispensary
rooms. A juvenile romance lends ad-
ditional interest to the movie.
