LIFTING $2.00 a Year 5c a Copy BALANCE OF POWER HELPS IN THE RACE IN NORTH STATES Reallimation of A. H. Influence Wielded by Colo. Americans And Insistent in its Cause Alar. REPUBLICANS SHOW CONCERN Signs of Breaking Away from Party Which Has Had a Mortgage on Negro Vote Disconcerts Party Leaders (Associated Negro Press) Richmond, Va., Sept. 20.—Special Correspondence—The bellicose attitude of the Negro vote in this state has brought to life a sincere disposition to give serious study to the actual political position which the Negro holds at the present time in American life. It will be remembered that whatever chances the Republicans had to elect their candidate in last year's contest for Governor of the State were killed by the action of the colored voters when they put into the field their own race candidate for the honor. This action frightened the wavering white vote that had all but jumped over into the Republican band wagon on the Protective Tariff issue and, as a result, the old time Democratic majorities were piled up for that ticket much to the chagrin of that element of Republicans in the North who have been holding to the dream of breaking the solid South. "Balance of Power, threatening, imminent, and actual, is the new "Bogie" and possibly the last straw upon which the "Negro Domination" fear of the South feels obliged to cling to. Added to this is the fact that the Negro is beginning to "feel his oats"—whatever that might mean. Perhaps this can be understood best by keeping in mind that the Negroes in Virginia paid the expenses of their contesting delegates to the 1920 convention at Chicago. Coupling this bit of political history with the information that they financed and conducted their own campaign in the governorship fight one can get a pretty fair idea why the political power of the Negro is fast becoming a matter of somewhat seriouse concern. There is no question of doubt that the Virginia Negro is "mad" all over. His wealth is increasing by leaps and bounds. This new possession is giving him a fine sense of social and political responsibility. He is beginning to determine the importance of matters in his own fashion and after his own manner of thinking. "Uncle Tom" is dead as four door nails. It is being recognized by even the holder and more radical elements among the Negroes in this state that the finished product of Negro Citizenship is not wholly here at the present time. "But he is far advanced in the making." They assert. "We don't want Social Intimacy. What we are after is Social Independence, Political Equality, Economic Equality, and by all that's fair or soul, finally we are going to have all of these things." It must be agreed that this is big stuff. But let us turn back to the "balance of power" question. Figures have been published recently which may shed some bright light on this phase of the situation. They relate entirely to the Northern States and are as follows: STATE Negro Population Party Plurality Normal Election Electoral Votes Massachusetts 45,666 20,899 18 New York 198,483 200,000 45 New Jersey 117,132 57,000 14 Pennsylvania 284,563 180,000 38 Ohio 186,187 90,000 24 Indiana 80,810 30,000 15 Illinois 182,274 200,000 25 Michigan 60,082 50,000 14 Iowa 19,005 55,000 13 Missouri 178,241 30,000 18 Nebraska 13,242 40,000 8 Oklahoma 149,408 50,000 10 Kansas 57,925 35,000 10 Delaware 30,333 5,000 3 Connecticut 21,046 7,000 7 Very revealing, it must be allowed. In another direction, it must be pointed out also that the independent Negro vote officially counted to 25,000 in the last Virginia State election. Actually it was approximately more than 50,000. This is the "balance of power" bogie romping about the field of Old Virginia kicking up a considerable and disconcerting amount of real political dust. And it brings to the front that quite startling economic fact that a dollar carefully directed will have its social and political way whether it comes from the pocket of a black or white. And this is where the shoe probably pinches the tightest. What is puzzling the thinking Negro is how he is going to take his rightful THE MONITOR place effectively and to general benign ends. Settling this to his satisfaction the next step will be the assumption of those places and that responsibility which enables him to become a healthful factor in each of the nation's endeavors to maintain a supreme Democracy on the Western Hemisphere. The congressional elections are upon us. The Petersburg district is ours by every right of a legal and political majority. It can not be won this fall. In 1824, however, look for a hot fight in that section of the State. Slemp is eliminated. His disappearance from the open political field is probably all that the Negro vote can reasonably expect at this time. It was a big moral victory that put him out of the political running. It has apparently heartened the Negro and urged him to a continuance of his fight for an honorable position as a citizen in the great State of Virginia. In the meantime those "balance of power" figures came along at the right moment. They will have given "pep" to our thinking. MAN HELD OVER YEAR AS MURDER SUSPECT IS FINALLY RELEASED Owes His Freedom to Tireless Efforts For Justice by Maryland Branch of N. A. A. C. P. Baltimore, Md., Sept. 29—After more than a year of seeking information and investigating the murder of Mrs. Weber, whose body was found in Maryland, Joseph Keller, a colored man, charged with the commission of the crime, was on Friday, Sept. 5th, 1922, released from the custody of the Maryland authorities, the evidence thus far found not warranting his detention longer. Credit is due to the Prince George County Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. as well as to the co-operation of the District of Columbia branch, for the favorable outcome of this celebrated case. RECEIPTS OF JACKSON-WILLS BOUT TOTALLED $61,000.00 New York, Sept. 29—More than seventeen thousand people witnessed the bout staged at Ebbets Field between Harry Wills and Tut Jackson recently, of which 15,705 were cash customers, the total receipts including around $1,000 in exchanges, were $61,000, of which amount, less the tax, the winner, Harry Wills, according to rumor, drew down $37½ per cnt, with 12½ per cent going to the mysterious Tt Jackson.

WINS ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR PRIZE FROM THE GOVERNMENT Handsome Sum Given John T. Rischer for Inventing Time - Saving Method of Keeping Records of U. S. Navy. RISHER PLAN IS INSTALLED (Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Sept. 29—Mr. T. Risher, colored, formerly of Jackson, Mississippi, has just been awarded a prize of one thousand dollars by the United States government for offering the best method and plans for making and keeping the records of the navy. Mr. Risher began as a messenger in the navy department about 12 years ago at $50 per month, but by diligent effort worked himself up to be chief of the Muster Rool Division of the United States Navy. The method of keeping the records of navy heretofore have practically been those used by the navy sixty years ago, but the great increase of our navy brought about by the World War made the old plans wholly unadapted to the navy's great increase. Mr. Risher had given this subject special study for some time, and therefore called attention of the naval heads to the fact that he could suggest methods that would greatly relieve the situation. So the Board of Admirals offered a prize of one thousand dollars to any one who might offer the best improved method. One hundred and five naval officers submitted plans and competed. The Board of Admirals sat for more than a week and heard the different methods explained; finally adopted the Risher plan. Congress appropriated two hundred thousand dollars for installing the Risher plans, which, it is said will mean a saving to the government of more than seven hundred thousand dollars annually. Through this devise the humblest yeoman may be located by the department on a moment's notice, while heretofore it took many days, and sometimes months, to locate a sailor. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1922 ANOTHER WONDER SHOW AT THE GAYETT THEATRE Theatre-goers of this vicinity may safely mark down in their engagement books at least one visit to the popular Gayety next week. They will be amply repaid for their trouble as one of the worth-while attractions of that theatre's present season will hold the boards for the week. This is Ed L. Daley's big musical revue called "Broadway Brevities," which comes to this city with the enthusiastic endorsement of every other community where it has appeared. "Broadway Brevities" is really a big New York Winter Garden spectacle, having been originally produced at that famous amusement institution where it ran for 18 weeks. Later it had a long run at the Studebaker Theatre in Chicago and also in Boston and Philadelphia. "Broadway Brevities" as presented at the Gayetey, starting Sunday matinee at three, has been entirely rewritten, re-cast and re-costumed. It also has a brand new equipment of delightful musical numbers from the prolific pen of Al W. Brown. William K. Wells, the well-known author and playwright, has written the new book while Dan Dody has put on the enlivening and graceful dances. To the famous H. Robert Law Scenic Studios of New York City is credited the 14 elaborate and colorful scenes while its many exquisite and picturesque costumes are the work of many of the country's leading designers. The production in its entirety cost around $125,000. Its producer has furnished an unusually pleasing and efficient cast of whom Lena Daley, the popular dancer, heads the list. Jay C. Flippen, a black face comedian well-known and liked in vaudville, and musical comedy, plays the role originally handled by the late Bert Williams. John O. Grant, an old favorite in burlesque, handles a difficult role with 14 changes of costume; Walter Brown, eccentric dancer and erman comedian; Lew Kessler, jazz dancer and formerly with the New York Winter Garden shows; Bernice Laharr, prima donna and former star of "Pretty Baby"; Frances Meadows, an attractive coon shouter, and Gladys Jackson, an ingeneue who resembles Frances White, and other members of the cast contribute to its popularity, while the Big Three Trio, composed of Messrs Drury, Stanhope and Anderson, are most pleasing in their harmonizing.

FACTS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW Through the churches and other means, Negroes are each year raising about $2,000,000 for the support of their schools. Matthew Henson is the only survivor who reached the North Pole with Admiral Peary. Mr. Henson was Peary's chief assistant during his eight attempts to reach the Pole. The Negro is constitutionally a "better physiological machine" than the white man. This is the conclusion drawn by experts from the military examinations and experiences of the past few years as reported in The Journal of the American Medical Association. Negroes have contributed more than $24,000,000 to education through their churches. Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 29—Hawkke Lodge No. 160, I. B. P. O.

POLICE OFFICERS BRUTALLY ASSAULT THREE YOUNG MEN Sergeant Frank Williams of the Morals Squad and Some of His Men Beat Up James Pegg and Two Companions. SPEEDING WAS THE OFFENSE Sergeant Frank Williams of "the moral squad" and his men are alleged to have committed an unprovoked, unlawful and brutal assault last Saturday night on three of Omaha's best young men, James Pegg, son of the late John Grant Pegg, and an employee of the Fontenelle garage; Leroy Richardson of the tailoring form of Richardson Bros., Twenty-seventh and Cuming street; and John Wilson, a railroad employee. The alleged assault occurred about half past ten o'clock Saturday night at Twenty-fourth and Lake streets. The young men admit they were speeding south on Twenty-fourth street from Maple, when they discovered that four man in a car were pursuing them. When they stopped at Twenty-fourth and Lake the pursuing car overtook them and the four plain clothes men, for such they were, headed by Williams, jumped out and with drawn guns rushed on these boys and calling them vile names struck them several blows with their fists, cutting and bruising the face and fists of Pegg and Richardson and placed them under arrest, charging them with being drunk and with reckless driving. Since none of these boys dring, The Monitor does not hesitate to say that the charge of the officers on this score was absolutely false. Monday morning James Pegg, who was driving the car, admitted that they were speeding and was fined $10 and costs by Judge Wappich. Gould Dietz, one of Omaha's broadest-minded and most influential citizens, who has known James Pegg for years was in court Monday morning and insisted that the unlawful conduct of the officers in assaulting these boys in placing them under arrest be investigated and the officers punished. LEAGUE OF NATIONS IS PETITIONED FOR AFRICAN MANDATE Garveyites Make Ambitious Demand at Conference in Session in Switzerland. Geneva, Sept. 29 - A contingent of Negroes representing Marcus A. Garvey, "Provisional President of Africa," appeared before the Leayue of Nations September 13 and demanded that it "grant to the Negroes of the world a mandate for South Africa."

Gourdin, former Harvard broad bumper and holder of the world record of twenty-five feet and three inches for the running broad jump, won the National A. A.

HAITIANSWOULD HAVE NEGRO BANKS HANDLE DIAMONDS Movement Now on Foot Favoring the Financing of a Diamond Expedition to British Gulana. TRADING COMPANY PLANNED New York City, Sept. 21.—As an immediate result of the project of colored-bankers, promoters and business men financing a diamond expedition to British Guana, a transportation and trading company has developed. Representative Haitians, upon finding the backers fully responsible, and qualified for the bigger things, at once offered valuable concessions and other alluring inducements. A recent conference between the parties concerned has warranted the establishment of regular service between New York and Haitian ports. New companies have been formed, much of the stock of which is being subscribed for in Haiti. The Oversea Navigation Company, for transportation purposes, and the Oversea Trading Company for trading purposes, are the two incorporated organizations under which heads the business will be conducted. The offices are in No. 82 Wall Street, New York City. All business will be transacted through colored banks and every colored banking institution in this country and in Haiti has been asked to assist in the underwriting of the project. A small block of stock, however, will soon be offered to the public. This is the first time colored banks have had a real chance to depart from the usual real estate and mortgage business and enjoy the huge profits common among white banking institutions. They are responding cheerfully, too, since investigation has proven satisfactory. For news when it is news, you must read the Monitor. GROWING _____ THANK YOU Vol. VIII—No. 13 EPISCOPALIANS NOMINATE OMAHAN FOR HIGH POSITION The Rev. John Albert Williams, Pastor Church of St. Philip the Deacon, One of Four Priests Named for Haitian Bishopric. CHOSE PANAMA ARCHBEACON Omaha Clergyman, Nominated by Bishop Shayler, Shows Great Strength in House of Bishops Receiving Large Vote. (Special to The Monitor.) Portland, Ore., Sept. 29—Rev. John Albert Williams, rector of the Church of St. Philip the Deacon, Omaha, Neb., was one of four priests who was nominated here last Monday by the House of Bishops of the General Convention of the Episcopal hurch for missionary bishop to Haiti. The other nominees were the Rev. H. R. Carson, archdeacon of the Panama Canal Zone; the Rev. Walter Mitchell, rector Porter Military academy, Charleston, S.C., and the Rev. William S. Clairborne, professor at Sewanee, Tenn. At the same time seven prominent clergymen, two being bishops and five priests, were placed in nomination for the missionary bishop of eastern Oregon. In these nominations the House of Bishops set aside a time-honored custom and for the first time in its history nominated in open session. The elections, however, according to custom, were made in executive session. Wednesday morning the bishops assembled in the pro-cathedral of St. Stephen, where, after a celebration of the Holy communion, they proceeded to the election. Several ballots were taken, resulting in the election of the Rt. Rev. William P. Remington, bishop suffragan of South Dakota, as missionary bishop of eastern Oregon, and Ven. Harry R. Carson, archdeacon of the Panama canal zone, as missionary bishop of Haiti. Bishop Remington's election was confirmed by the House of Deputies in executive session Wednesday afternoon and Archdeacon Carson, Friday morning, the method of procedure in the General Convention of the Episcopal church being that elections to the episcopate made by the House of Bishops must be ratified by the House of Deputies. The Rev. John Albert Williams who was nominated for the highest position in the gift of the church by the Rt. Lev. Ernest V. Shayler, D. D., bishop of Nebraska, his nomination being seconded by the Rt. Rev. Irving P. Johnson, D. D., bishop of Colorado, showed great strength in the House of Bishops where he received a large vote, the contest between him and Archdeacon Carson, the successful nominee, being very close. The missionary district of Haiti, which has been vacant since the death of the Rt. Rev. James Theodore Holly, D. D., in 1911, has been in charge first of the missionary bishop of Cuba and for the last six years of Bishop Colmore, missionary bishop of Porto Rico. The General Convention three years ago elected the Rev. Samuel W. Grice, professor in the Bishop Payne Divinity School, Petersburg, Va., who declined. The General Convention closed its nearly three weeks' session here Saturday morning with the reading of the bishop's pastoral letter. The convention made a great impression upon this city.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. AN ABUSE OF AUTHORITY THAT the Omaha police force contains some excellent men, who are gentlemen and know how to discharge the exacting duties which are demanded of them, will readily be admitted by all fair-minded citizens. That it contains others who act like toughs and rowdies and who abuse the authority with which they are clothed cannot be denied. Men of this type have no right to be on the police force of this city and the sooner they are retired the better it will be for the city. It was only a few weeks ago that Chief Dempsey, who is a gentleman of the first rank, called the attention of the force to the necessity of policemen being courteous. This shows that complaints of discourtesy have been lodged with the authorities and justifies our contention that some men on the police force act like toughs and rowdies. A glaring example of this was furnished last Saturday night in the arrest of three of the most respectable and industrious young men by Sergeant Frank Williams and his squad for speeding. The officers were doing their duty when they arrested their boys when they were violating the law, and endangering life, as all reckless autoists do, by speeding. The officers had no right whatsoever to curse, berate and call these young men vile names and beat and bruise them up as they did. In doing this they were guilty of assault and should be placed under arrest for the same. A police officer is only justified in using sufficient force to protect himself and subdue a prisoner when the prisoner is resisting arrest. By reputable witnesses it can be proven that these youths did not resist arrest when these bullying officers rushed upon them with drawn arresting colored folk, must drop. The beating up of prisoners by rowdy officers in making arrests, and we are advised that some officers on the force have a peculiar penchant for this when arrests of colored folk, must stop. The Monitor calls upon the police authorities to thoroughly investigate the brutal conduct of Frank Williams and his squad last Saturday night in arresting those young men for speeding, and we urge upon our self-respecting and public-spirited citizens to see to it that outrages of this character are not repeated. We publicly thank Mr. Gould Dietz for the unselfish interest he has shown as a public-spirited and justice-loving citizen in this matter. BEING first a priest and Churchman and secondly an editor, we desire to express our appreciation of the honor which was bestowed upon us by our nomination at the recent General Convention of the Episcopal Church at Portland, Oregon, for the high honor of missionary bishop to Haiti. It is indeed an honor to even be considered for such a high dignity and responsibility in the Church of God. We were deeply touched by the many kind messages from citizens in many waiks of life, who have known us these many years, which came to us when the press carried the dispatch of our nomination. Had the election come to us, it would have meant the sundering of ties which have-bound us to this city for nearly a third of a century. Since the separation is very evidently not to be in this way may we say in all sincerity that our desire is to serve our people here more faithfull and efficiently, sustained by your affection, your sympathy, your support and whole-hearted cooperation, that together we may do a work for the Master and humanity that in God's good time may bring its just recompense of reward. Our desire is to serve faithfully until the end. We are happy and content to serve here to the best of our ability. THE CAMPAIGN THE political campaign is warming up. Politicians of both parties are actively after the vote of the colored brother and sister. The Republicans think they have got it cinched; but they have got another guess coming. The colored brother rightly opines that he has been given the merry "ha-ha" by the successful republican candidate long enough, and that now in local and state elections it may be the wise thing for him to change his party allegiance and see whether he will fare any better. From the point of patronage he certainly cannot fare much worse than he has. With a voting population four times as large as it was a few years ago, he has less representation in public offices than he had then. The colored brother and sister are thinking hard these days and when people begin to think, something generally happens. The Monitor believes the time has come for colored voters to think hard why they should longer so slavishly support candidates labelled republican, when the hands are the hands of Esau, while the voice is the voice of Jacob.

He tells the following story of the prima donna and the duke of Wellington: "In four months after her arrival in London the old warrior had become a captive to the enchantress. He courted the lady so ostentatiously as to rouse the jealousy of the Italian faction; his enthusiasm was rather awkward at times to the object of his homage. I have her own authority for saying that the duke always arrived early and seated Mme himself in his box on a level with the stage. Directly he saw Jenny Lind he opened fire: 'Good evening, Miss Lind, how are you tonight? All right, I hope.' These well-mean utterances were a trifle out of place at the particular time, for the Lucia, Amna, or Daughter of the Regiment was always so absorbed in her part as to be out of touch with all outside influence." THEN SHE AROSE SUDDENLY Elderly Lady Discovered She Had Made Wrong Choice of Her Resting Position. It is hard sometimes for the old and the young to arrive at a common point of understanding. The old lady and the Sunday school boy in this story did finally arrive at an understanding, but not until the boy had suffered damage to his feelings, if not to his possessions. A picnic was in progress, and the benevolent and elderly lady took much enjoyment in witnessing the delight of the children who were disporting themselves in her grounds. She went from one to another, saying a few kind words to each. Presently she seated herself on a grass plot beside Dickie, a little boy with golden curls and an angelic expression. But as soon as he observed her sitting beside him Dickie set up an ear-piercing howl. "Have you the stomach-ache?" she asked, anxiously. "No!" roared the angelic child. "What I want is my frog that I ketched." "Frog?" "Yes, my frog! You're sitting on him!"—Philadelphia Ledger. ANNOUNCES PLATFORM Otto A.

Macon Webster, a distinguished lawyer of New York. This one wil be devoted to a short narration how two of his daughters, the Misses Mar- garet and Alma, won out against big odds in their desire to perfect them- selves. musically. ‘Mr. Webster had invited me to his beautiful home in Brooklyn to meet his family. Mrs. Webster was every inch of her a thouroughbred, well edueated and refined. Her pride was ‘in her two daughters, 17 and 15 res- pectively. Margaret sang and Alma played the piano. But they both needed finishing with good artists. ‘The girls were much darker than their father, and they did not disguise their race—on the contrary, they were very proud of it, But this did not help them to enter the studio of a certain teacher who gave lessons in the ex- elusive Carnegie hall building. ‘This problem Mr. Webster confided to me and we set about solving the puzzle. My acquaintance with the musical profession was very extensive then and fortunately also I was not lack# ing in nerve. I made an appointment: with Mme. % (we shall omit her name) to take her out for a few visits) in Brooklyn to introduce her to the family of Judge Gaynor (the judge’ was then running for mayor of New York City) and others. Mme. Z. ac- cepted, with pleasure and offered to sing at some of the large politieal meetings to be held in favor of the great jurist’s candidacy. In a car, loaned to me for the occasion by Dr. O. M. Waller (of whom we shall have occasion to write at length) we first made a call upon the judge who ac- cepted Mme. Z.'s offer with thanks; then upon Mr. Webster, the attorney for Wanamaker, It had been previously arranged that we should be received in Mr. Webster's numismatic room, which had portieres dividing it from the music room. An associate in law of| Mr. Webster was also to be there. The moment our auto would stop in front of the house, Alma was to com- mence playing the Ava Maria and. Margaret was to sing it (in Latin). We were to “rush” the thing, I on behalf of the guest and Webster on behalf of his associate. Everything went through as planned—and with a happy, result. Mme: Z: opened her eyes as wide] as nature allowed and wistfully looked towards the portieres, her eyes in- dicating a desire to meet the singer and player, Mr, Webster was very gracious, quickly explaining that his daughters were running over in final rehearsal the selection which would be rendered at a church recital that evening. Mme. Z. asked with whom the young ladies were studying and I suggested they would like to study with Mme. Z—"I should be delighted to have such talent!” exclaimed Mme. Z.—“You will have them!” cheerful- ly responded Mr. Webster, and just then the last note was sung in the adjoining room, the lights there went out, and a few moments later we SAE pp aCe RE ws ERP BY and Mme. Z. looked disappointed.— “I am sorry, Mme. Z., that I did not have the pleasure to present my daughters to you, but—", I inter- rupted him with, “Mr. Webster, we have other calls to make, will you and your friend join us in the car until we are through calling?”—Mme. Z. Joined me in the request, and at this moment Mr, Webster's associate an- nounced that he was sorry they had another very important appointment, hinting to his friend Macon to close the contract then and there. Mme. %. did not understand the legal sug- gestion, but Dorsey Macon Webster did, and acted on the spot. He pulled out a roll of bills (when I think of that roll, a wish comes to me right now that—I had it now) and offered $100 bill to Mme. % She hesitated, did not grasp the situation at all— but I asked her, “Would you really like to develop the talent of the girl whom you just heard?”—“Why, of course, Mr. Goodman, Talent of this kind removes all barriers—even lack of time.”—I told her to meet Mr. Webster's offer with an acceptance and further details might be arranged at her studio in his office. ‘Thus Margaret Webster became the pupil of Mme. Z. and rounded out her musical training with a world famous singer and teacher. Tt was not the money, it was the talent that removed prejudice—one of the strongest human barriers. E. B. GOODMAN. THE ST. PAUL PRES- BYTERIAN CHURCH Twenty-sixth and Seward Streets— Russel Taylor, Pastor. Next Sunday marks the beginning of the third quarter of the ecclesias- tical year. This means that every member and friend of the church must bend every effort to put over the pro- gram suggested by our general as- sembly and the presbytery. Let. us do much, pray much, expect much. “The harvest truly is ripe, the labor- ers are few.” The entertainment given by our Indian friends was not the success we had hoped for it, Not being used to city travelling, they were nearly two hours coming from the Ak-Sar- Ten frields to the church. This of necessity made them curtail their pro- gram, It is desired that every communte- ant be present next Sunday for our quarterly communion, ‘These have al- ways proven blessed occasions, and it is well to ever take advantage of them. ‘The sermon tonic Sunday morning will be, “The Price of Our Redemp- tion”. Special musie will be furnish- ed by the male quartet. The discourse Sunday evening will be, “The Patmos Vision.” At 7:15 p. m. the Christian En- deavor will hold its regular monthly consecration meetings, which will be led by the pastor. The topic is, “Bet- ter Work”. Endeavorers, remember your pledge! Send the missionaries to Burope in- stead’ Af brton. ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH 5283 So, 25th St.—Phone Market 3475, O. J. Burekhardt, Pastor. Sunday was indeed a lively time ‘with the members and friends of Al- Jen chapel, both young and old, who ‘expressed themselves as being highly pleased over the return of their pas- tor, who is pastor of all who come in touch with him. Large congregations attended all the services Sunday, many strangers among them. A soul stirring class meeting followed the 11 o'clock ser- mon, led by Mr. Herman. A great many people in Omaha that do not attend church anywhere, you should remember that practically all that has been done-for us as a race has come through the church, This is true whether you are honest enough to admit it or not. So all intelligent and race loving people should attend some church at least once a week. Strangers to the city wi!l find a ecor- dial weleome at any church you should choose to attend and Allen chapel’s pastor and members give you a spe- cial invitation to come and be at home in our services.
