HOW HOUSE OF HOPE SECURED ITS START Rev. Charles W. Savidge Prays One Day and Gets Answer on the Next Day. RESULT IS HOUSE OF HOPE By A. R. GROH. I'he House of Hope, for which a tinancial campaign is now being car- ried on in Omaha, is the brick-and- stone proof of the power of prayer and faith. Rev. Charles W. Savidge belives that God speaks directly to him, di- racts every move he makes and has inspired the many contributions that have resuited in the $60,000 property as it stands today. One day in 1906 Rev. Mr. Savidge stood in front of a dilapidated cottage at 1713 California street and, being impressed with the need of a home for 1 old people, he said: “Lord, if You will * date, when all the cottages are com- } [ \ send me $250 without my asking any- one for it, I will take it as a sign that You mean for me to buy this cottage and begin a home for old folks.” The next day some friends sent him $300 to be used in his work. How Name Came He called it the “House nf Hope.” The work grew marvelously. The funds came in miraculously in re- sponse to faith and prayer. Another cottage adjoining was added. One June day in 1908 Mr. Savidge and his wife were out driving. The passed the Dexter L. Thomas man- sion, 956 North Twenty-seventh ave- nue. Mr. Savidge got out and walked around the vacant house. “There and then God spoke to me,” he said. “He spoke plainly. I heard His voice. ‘Buy this place and T'll help you!" I went back to the buggy and said to my wife, ‘I'm going to buy this house.’ She looked at me and said I was crazy. ‘That's all right, ‘ ma, but you'll see,” I told her. ! Not Very Crazy. “I went to thirty men and asked each of them for $50. Every one of them gave it to me. With that $1,500 I made the first payment. I organ- ized a board of trustees. Then I went home and spent three solid days in prayer. I didL’t go outside of the house. I wrote a paper about God's sure promise to help those who be- lieve in Him and seek to help human- ity. I took that paper with me and went down to see George Hoagland. He heard me through and then ex- daimed, ‘Why you're crazy! “Later he told me to get my trustees down to his office. When they were there he said, ‘I'll give my check for $2,000, payable when you have raised the rest of the $8,500 that Brother Savidge needs.” Well, Tom Hamilton of Sarpy county gave $1,000, Dave Cole $250, Gould Dietz $250, Dr. Mer- cer $500. In ninety days the building was paid for and we had $1,000 over. God had lived up to His promise again, . Winning a Farm, ~ "When we were wondering: where funds would come from for the: big building of the House of Hope at Florence, Maria Williams ~of Bells wood, Butler county, dined at my house. She owned thirty farms. After dinner, having prayed much for funds, I asked her to come up to my study. 1 said to her, ‘Mrs, Williams, I want you to give me a farm for my new House of Hope. ‘I will do it she said, without hesitation. The deed was put.in trust of Luther Kountze. We sold the farm for $21,500. Mrs. Williams was 70 years of age then. She died two months later and left us an additional $1,000 in her will.” The splendid plant of the House of Hope in Florence will accommo- pleted, about 135 old people. No: cheap, pinchhecip( institution is this, either. The building is beauti- ful and substantial. The furniture alone cost upward of $3,000. Partner With God. And this has been accomplished by a man who took God at His word, who sees nothing strange in an actual working partnership with the Diety. He has had the assistance of some of our leading citizens as his board of trustees—G. H. Payne, J. DeForest Richards, N. B. Updike, Gould Dietz, T. F. Stroud, R. J. Dinning, N. P. Dodge, Dr. J. P. Lord, Thomas Hamilton, Thomas Herd, Francis T, Parker. These men give freely of their time, abilities and means. All but $12,000 of the new $50,000 building has been paid. The “town house,” 956 North Twenty-seventh avenue, will continue to be operated as heretofore. Six new “cottages” of twelve rooms cach, costing $7,000 each, are to be built surrounding the main building. Money for these is also being raised in the campaign. Fontenelle Social Center to Build a Fine Club House The Fontenelle Social Center has wtcided to build a structure 28x44 fect on two lots purchased this week at the northwest corner of Bedford ave- nue and Fortieth street. Samuel Laird and H. C. Timme signed the articles of incorporation and they state the building will cost $2,500. "The main floor will be a general auditorium, while the base- | ment will be equipped for smaller meetings or for social center activi ties not reauiring the auditorium. A kitchen will be provided. Work will be started in the carly spring.

The ages of the members are from 9 to 12 years. In addition to aiding the free den- tal dispensary, the club will provide eight families with Christmas din- ners. They are making toys for the City mission’s Christmas entertain- ment. One of the rules of the club is that financial aid shall not be accepted from any parent, * FOR THE SALOONS and |- For One-Third of Year. DECISION MEANS BIG SUM Admitting there is some doubt on the question, City Attorney Rine ad- vised the city commissioners that he believes they would be acting within the intent of the law if they charged saloon keepers one-third of $1,000 for the one-third of a year period from January 1 to Apri! 30, 1917. Mr. Rine believes that when the people voted to permit the saloon men to operate one-third of the next year they likewise intended to amend the $1,000 license provision to provide for this emergency. There is nearly $200,000 mvolved in the acceptance or rejection of Mr, Rine’s opinion by the city council. If| the one-third license is charged, all of | the saloons will remain open until April 30. Should the $1,000 license be assessed, some may be closed Decem- ber 31, it is stated; but the difference would still be considerable between the $1,000 license as provided by the state law and the one-third-year li- cense as recommended by the city at- torney. Gives His Opinion. The opinion of the city attorney to the city commissioners follows: “In response to request for an opin- ion as to the terms and conditions under which a liquor license can be granted after the first of the year, will state that as under the amend- ment to the constitution® prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors it will be unlawful to engage in the general liquor business after May 1, 1917, it is my opinion that your honorable body has no authority to grant a li- cense for the sale of intoxicating liquors, except druggists’ permits, for any period after May 1, 1917, “As to the amount to be charged for liquor license after the first of the year will say that the question is not free from doubt. I have point- ed out that by the adoption of the prohibition amendment the liquor laws of the state have been amended so that no license can be granted for any period after May 1, 1917. “The question then arises whether your honorable body is authorized to charge $1,000, the sum provided by law for a yearly license. You are advised that the courts of this state have held that where application is made for a liquor license and by rea- son ef protest and appeal from the licensing board to the district court, the right to exercise the privilege of sale is suspended for a period, that the license is permitted to recover the pro rata part of his license money, and that where a license is revoked after the licensec has been granted a license through 'no fault of the licensee, such licensee can re- cover back the pro rata portion of the license money covering the period for which he was not authorized af- ter revocation to exercise his privi= lege under the license. In this con- nection I might say that this rule as laid down by our supreme court dif- fers from the rule established in many other jurisdictions. It is based upon the ground that equity would not re- quire the licensee to pay for a por- tion of the license year for which he was unable to exercise a privilege where such condition arose through no fault of his own. Oit'y Attorney Advises Council | that Licenses May Be Paid ‘ seem that the same rule should apply where, through no fault of his own, the applicant by reason of the consti- tutional amendment, is prohibited from exercising any privilege after | May 1. Under the law covering the | | sale of liquor $1,000 is the minimum for which a license can be granted, but as the constitutional amendment on prohibition has amended the law so that the license cannot be granted for a full year, but only until May 1, 1917, it would seem the liquor law likewise had been amended as to the amount to be charged, especially in the light of the decisions in this ‘state above re- ferred to. As I have stated, the law is not clear upon this question, and we have no decisions to point the way, except those which I have made ref- erence to. If the council determines to grant the license for a portion of the year 1917, for a sum which repre- sents a like proportionate part of the $1,000, I believe that it will be acting within the intent and spirit of the liquor legislation as interpreted by our courts.” Entente Demands \Offers Trac£ to The City in Lieu 0Of Special Taxes George T. Morton and C. N. Dietz have offered to transfer to the city a tract of land, comprising fifteen acres at Fifty-second and Center streets in lieu of the payment of ap- proximately $15,000 specia! taxes as- sessed on account of the recent paving on West Center street. If the offer should be accepted the city would use the tract for park and playground purposes. The city commissioners are considering the matter.

The only changes, if any, will be minor refinements. The materials for these coming cars will cost us vastly more than the first cars cost us. That is due to market conditions. No quality maker can escape the higher material prices now pre- vailing. The Hudson price must advance $175.

Now is the time to decide your next year’s car. son Super-Six, even at the advance, will undersell like-grade cars. The Pinnacle Car But Not the Top Price The Hudson Super-Six, in a hundred tests, has proved itself the greatest car built. It holds all the world’s records thing to owners. 1t holds all the stock-car holds the stock-motor speed miles per hour. It holds the 1819 miles. It holds the Pike’s Peak hill-climb- ing record—the greatest event of its kind— against 20 famous competitors. It has twice with one car, trip, broken all transcontinental records. It ran from San Francisco to New York and back in 10 days and 21 hours. No fore attempted the round trip against time. Only the endurance of the Super-Six is equal to that run of 6972 miles—twice across Amer- 1ca. These things prove supreme endurance, due to an almost frictionless mof ented by Hudson. It cannot every Hudson detail—finish ity—matches with that motor. So the Hudson Super-Six ceded the highest place in Motordom. Yet note how far it will undersell some cars, even with this advance. But these are facts for later buyers. Today any Super-Six that is still unsold can be botight at the present price. And in as next spring, save in possible small refine- ments.
