Temple, 26th and Burdett street,
o. j. Burckhardt President Of
The Omaha District.
The annual district convention
of The Church of Christ "holi-
ness Convened at Christ Temple
June oath. A splendid opening
program was arranged by the
present pastor, Elder S. j. Nc
Intyre, who succeeded Bro.
Burckhardt Jan LIST. The pro-
gram was of high class consisting
of songs by the choir and solo, by
members of the church choir.
Short addresses were made by the
pastor, also by Elder d. J. Wash
lngton. II pastor at Kansas City,
kans. The chief address was
made by the president, who re-
viewed the year work, and dis
cussed at length the general
church conditions Of the country.
and especially that Of our race
groups.
Tuesday afternoon the conven-
ton opened up for regular bust
ness. Sister Bertha Mallory our
secretary, read the minutes Of our
lat years reports. The president
proceeded to make up the pro-
gramme for tn e conventional
work of the week. In this pro-
cedure the president had the
hearty cooperation of Elder Nc
1ntyre, and Elder d. J. Washing
ton. The work accomplished by
the church at K. c.. under Elder
Washington, and the accomplish
ments made here at Christ Temple
by Elder S. j. Mcintyre during
the past six months, gave inspira-
ton to the convention.
The committees were as follows:
Finance committee, Elder Walter
Irving, chairman; Bro. John An
derson and Sister Matte Middle
ton, coworkers. The enrolment
committee, Sister Willie Vann mad
Sister Minnie Forest. Committee
on time and place, Elder f. III.
Hunley, chairman; Sister Amelia
Anderson and Sister Ollie Love.
During the conventional week
Sister Mcintyre proved to be use
full to the convection. The con-
vention, as a whole, was beyond
u own expectation.
Elder D. j. Washington was
the Evangelist for the week and
his messages were real s piritual
wine, which seems to grow with
age. There is only one Bishop
Washington, and l think you, who
heard his brother, Dan, will read
lily agree with me that there is
only one Dan Washington. His
sermons were plain, logical and
spiritual, and some soul will be
richer in the judgment because
of the weeks service. In conclu-
sion as president, / want to thank
the good people of Omaha who
helped us by their prayers and at
tendance to make the convention
a success.
O. j.. Burckhardt,
