Is the product of the genius, energy and Inspiration N A HINT. of an Omaha clergyman. When completed the First German Presbyterian church will present an edifice of stable aud dignified beauty, yet all the material that goes into Its construction Is discarded Junk gathered from every available source. - It represents what can be accomplished by a few earg men under the leadernest, ship of a preacher full of enthusiasm and Inspiring optimism. When be first went to Omaha, years ago. Rev. Julius F. Bchwart determined that his congregation should have a new church. The fact that the members numbered only 60 and the whole property of the corporation was about 15,000 troubled him not at all, and he began to build with as much faith as if he had the riches of Solomon. His plan was to gather everywhere, whenever he could, all the old but strong timbers, all the Iron Junk available for structural use, all the loose end irregular atone and all the generally discarded building materials that could be found In Omaha and from them to build a church. It waa not to be a mean and ugly house of worship, ' well arranged, but a ample meeting place for his people. lie has now extended it to Include an house for hla own family and tha whole property would have cost $30,000 If It had been built by contract As built by Rev. Mr. Schwars and hla fellow laborers It will cost less than $25,000. The other $15,000 has been saved to his people by the perseverance, energy and Ingenuity of the pastor. The first charge that Mr. Schwars look when ha left the theological seminary was at Connersvllle, Ind. For six years he remained there and was called to Omaha three years ago on a recommendation from one of his instructors In the theological echool. At that time the First German Presbyterian . was a small frsma church. As soon as the new pastor came he announced that the church was too small. To build a church with a membership of 60 seemed out of the question to all hut the pastor. He thought ho knew a way and he set about It with almost no support, at first, from the others. For a year he sought for a suitable location and finally purchased the lot tbs new church la on for $1,800. When he bought this tract the fund which he drew from amounted to $57. f?ey. His first move was to sell the old church for $1,850.
