News of Interest to and Pertaining to Alliance Colored People Edited by Rev. T. B. J. Barclay tiUKAT HALLY HHLO MTWMM 9151 RAMD Sunday was Rally Day for the A II. 1 church and it w a rally day in fart as well an In name. One hun dred fifty-one dollars was rained from among the colored people themselves toward a fund to hulld a new rhurrh edifice to house the Al Uanre Afrlran Methodist Episcopal rhurrh The congregation Is deter mined to do all In Its power to help itself. The idea Is to raise as much actual money from among the con gregation as possible before ever ask ing anyone outside for a rent toward this work. In times gone by there have been efforts made to raise funds for a rhurrh building, but for some reason or another the church has never been built. The present pastor, Kov. Barclay, is determined that the church shall be built and the plan is for the rhurrh to go the limit, show the citizens of the city that they ac tually mean business, that they are themselves digging down Into their pockets and bringing forth money for the work. Then, with this to go on and an actual start made, outsid ers may be given the opportunity to give, with the assurance that their money will be used for the purpose for which it is given, and for no oth er. Rev. R. L. Pope of Denver, Colo., was In Alliance Sunday a guest of the pastor and his good people. Rev. Pope preached at both the morning and evening servires. whlrh were held in Hamilton's Hall. The day was stormy and bad, but In spite of this, the rally was a great surcess both from a spiritual and financial ntandplnt. Kvidenre of the financial success of the rally is found In the $161 raised for the new rhurrh building. Captain E. Dally of the Salvation Army was In attendanre and kept the spiritual fires burning. Most hearty thanks are extended to the good people for their liberal dnna tiiM'K and It Is hoped that every cltl ren will help to build the rhurrh, Which Is ho much needed o John Glass was on the street Mon day and all were glad to see him out again and so much Improved. o Miss M.

The pastor Whit You Pay For On a Long Distance Call In making a long distanoe telephone call you have the use of more than merely the wires over which you talk. The wires are only a small part of the equip ment provided for a long distance call. There must be switchboards, terminal rooms, pole lines and many other kinds of apparatus such as dynamos, batteries, calculagraphs, testing appa ratus, repeaters and loading coils to magnify the voice currents, and other expensive equip ment generally unseen by the telephone user. In making a long distance call you have the services of two or more operators who connect you and guard both ends of the line while you talk. In addition to the operators there are other employees watching the equipment in the cen tral offices and repairmen guarding the long distance wires. Repairmen Always Ready Somewhere along the line, the branch of a tree, a strong wind or an electric storm may put the wires out of order. But nearby is a tele phone man ready to hurry to the spot, so that the line may be quickly repaired and service restored. The amount you are charged when you make a long distance call is to help maintain the line, to facilitate the payment of interest on the in vestment in the equipment used for km'; dis tance, to aid in the payment of taxes on the property and assist in paying the employees' wages. We endeavor to obtain only such a return on the investment in our long distance lines as could be earned on the money if it were invested in any other business involving equal risk.
