edged out of the picture.
AS for the physical structure. G.
c. I believe the Zion Baptist
Church is the most impressive I've
yet seen in Omaha, and certainly the
attendance was the largest. is
there any larger?

III really be in a jam. G. G. if I
don't go to that church on 26th
Street between Grant and Erskine
Street, this coming Sunday. I gave
my word faithfully to Mrs. v. Duff,
1910 Camden Avenue, that 1 would
be there.
You know Mrs. Duff phoned me
to come out and see her. 1 did.
And between her and her aunt,
whose name 1 forget just now, they
almost had me converted, baptized,
and a leading pillar Of their church.
I heard more scripture in one hour
than I had read in a year. How
could I break-away without promls-
ing definitely that 1 would be a.
their church Sunday?

And still more churchesl The day
on which this is written I was at
the home of the Rev. and Mrs. L.
A. Story, 1713 North 18th Street.
He's the pastor Of Cleaves' Temple
you know!
While there Mrs. Story was tell
ing me something about some pag-
cant or other that is being held at
the Temple on Thursday the 18th.
Apparently that is the closing of the
Cedar CneSt contest.
1t seems that at $50 Nes, I said
$500 in the evening they are holl-
ing the Rainbow Pageant. Called
the Rainbow simply because Of the
eight different groups, each will be
attired in distinctive v~ariegated
colored costumes, ranging from the
little tots to the silver-haired ma
mas. Each group, from what I ga
thered will be represented on the
program with some special feature.
All in all it should be something en-
tertaining for the evening. I'm
doubtedly, I'll be there, for I pledg-
| ed to a sizeable donation to one Of
the groups-the widows-and at
least my curiosity will force me to
see what it's all about. Remember
the time, $50. I'll try and adjust
my watch accordingly, after my ex-
perience at the last church function.

AS 1 write this, C. C. CYou know 1
write it every Monday night, late)
I am being entertained by some
SPECIAL doings at Dreamland Ball
Room, oath and Grant. I believe
it's the Coronation Ball, or some
thing like that. Sounds mighty
good, too.

And speaking of the Dreamland
and the Coronation Ball, here's a
FLASH The popular Saybert C.
Hanger, 1915 North 2Sth Street, was
crowned King, Gle is youngest King
as yet to be crowned) and the pop
ular Margin Bernice Fowler, of 3114
Corby Street, was CROWNED the
Queen. Long May They Reign!

Here's one of the surprises Of the
week, c. c. Sometimes it's good to
leave friends behind. Anyway some
of my good friends in Michigan bad
a very nifty name plate made icr
nv desk and it arrived during the
week. Yes, that's it on the corner
Of my desk. Looks classy, Ell? And
many thanks to those Michigan
friends especially to Mr.. George E.
Scripter.

fred White, of 1920 North 23rd Plaza

Chatted, very pleasantly, with
