KESIKGAM.
TJESURGAM! An unusual word for |
most of our readers; but one
that few- will have difficulty in re
membering. It means "I shall rise
again.” And this Is the Easter mes
sage. ‘T shall rise again. This i®
the truth which Easter proclaims, the j
fact which Easter attests. The Chris- J
tian religion points with absolute con
fidence to the historic fact of the
Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the
dead as its chief credential upon
which It is content to rest the autnor
ity for its chief claim upon the alleg
iance of mankind. Hundreds of mil
lions of worshippers on Sunday next
in almost every known tongue will re
peat their belief in the “Resurrection
of the dead and the Life of the world
to come.” And unnumb#ed millions
have echoed these words through the
ages all along. It is this faith that
robs death of its victory and brings
consolation to those who have laid
their loved ones to rest. No hopeless
grief Is theirs, no rayless night for
those who catch the Easter message.
It is not without significance that
the great Christian festival of the
Resurrection should be kept at that
season of the year when luxuriant na
ture, bursting the cerements of its
Icy-bound grave, should be proclaim
ing the same truth. Resurgam! I
shall rise again. What an inspiration
this wonderful truth gives to human
life.

'T'HAT Moorefield Storey, one of
America’s foremost jurists, has
volunteered to appear before the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee to argue the
constitutionality of the Dyer Anti
Lynching Bill is most gratifying to the
friends of this important measure.
Of Judge Storey's deep and unselfish
interest in the constitutional rights
of all American citizens there can be
no doubt. His interest in this meas
ure is well known from his position
as National President of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People; hut even that would
not induce him to argue for its pass
age if he did not believe it to be con
stitutional. Senator Borah has pledg
ed himself to favor the measure and
recommend it to the Senate, if he is
sure that it is constitutional. We feel
confident that Judge Storey ■will be
able to remove any doubts on this
question from the Idaho Senator’s
mind. We believe Senator Borah to
be open-minded and a champion worth
having. With such an able ally and
defender of tBe constitutionality of
the Dyer Bill as Judge Storey we feel
sanguine of its support by Senator

Borah. The Senate should follow the
example of the House and pass the
bill and let the Supreme Court, if the
question be raised, determine its con
stitutionality. Friends of the meas
ure do not fear the test.
KINDNESS IS AN ASSET
J^INDNESS is one of the most valu
able assets any one pan have.
The man or woman who cultivates
kindness will have nothing to regret.
It will return large dividends.

rpHIS is a good slogan for our city.
We are quite sure that our cit
izens who take special pride in keep
ing up and beautifying their property
will not be one whit behind their (
neighbors. Let the colored citizens
df Omaha set an example to their
neighbors in the cleanlines and at
tractiveness of their homes.
THE MONITOR SI SPENDS
The colored people of Omaha are
now without a publication of any
kind. The Monitor, a newspaper pub
lished by and in the exclusive inter
ests of the colored people of Omaha,
has fallen on the rocks and is now in
bankruptcy court.
'Y’HE above Item appeared in Volume
1, No. 2 of the Central Free
Press. The infancy of the publication
: accounts for its ignorance. Besides
The Monitor, which our baby con
temporarry will perceive is still being
published. The New Era is also on the
job. Baby brother, be sure of all
) your facts before you write so orac
j ularly.
ACTIVITIES OF BAPTISTS
Rev. M. H. Wilkinson, state mission
ary, left for Falrbury and Beatrice
last week, at which time, record
breaking services were held at Fair
bury. A program of local talent pre
i ceded the sermon on Friday night, at
which time many whites and the ma
jority of the few colored people were
I present. Services were held Thurs
day and Friday nights. We are hop
| ing in the near future to launch a
plan for a place of worship in this
section, that we might call ours. Rev.
M. C. Winston, member of the Mt.
Moriah Baptist church, preached and
helped the missionary in the commun
ion. Rev, J. E. Jeltz, member of the
Mt. Zion, Lincoln, was to join us in
vocal selections, which he can render
so well, but the heavy rain Saturday
night prevented his driving over the
road. Rev. Mr.Wilkinson left Saturday
for Norfolk, after preaching at Cal
vary, Council Bluffs, and Mt. Moriah,
Thursday night, for Mrs. Bettis Club.

O. J. Burckhardt, Pastor.
Sunday school at 9:30; Preaching
at 11 a. m.; Allen League at 7 p. m.;
Preaching at 8 p. m. Things are
beginning to get normal again. Sun
day was a lively day at Alien Chapel.
The pastor gave a practical sermon
in the morning using the Palm Tree
as the subject of the discourse. From
which was drawn many beautiful il
lustrations of what should be the
Christian life. At 7 p. in. there was
a lively league fairly well attended.!
Again at the evening service there
was a large appreciative crowd with
many visitors. As a whole we were
very well pleased with the day’s work.
The Stewardess’ board will meet next
Thursday afternoon at the church. We
are expecting a great day Sunday, be- !
ing Easter. We have a fine program
already arranged and under the direc
tion of Mrs. Riley. Yon. cannot afford
to miss our services on Sunday. The
women are moving on nicely with their
rally. Our sick are getting along
nicely. Mr. Bush will be home Mon
day. Sister Alta Gould is slowly im
proving. Sisters Helum and Floyd
are out again, and Father Gordon is
also much improved at this writing.
Strangers, come again, you are always
welcome at Allen Chapel.
RESOLUTION OF THE NEGRO MED
ICAL AND DENTAL ASSN.
Members of Organization Express
Sympathy to Dr. Craig Morris,
Secret ay on Death of His
Mother.
There is inscribed in the great vol
ume of nature, upon every page, that
we have no continuing city, but we
seek one. Day after day we are called
upon to follow our loved ones to iheir
last resting place from which no
traveler returns. The living of today,
become the dead of tomorrow.
A wonderful stream is the river of
time as it runs through the reality of
tears, with a faultless rhythm and a
a musical rhyme, and a broader sweep
as a surge sublime, as it blendes in
the ocean of years. Life has often
been styled an ocean, and our pro
gress through It a voyage, always
temptestuous, but nevertheless tilled
with high hopes, of a safe and happy
journey, but a wreck at last must mark
the end of all, for it is written, “the
las? enemy that shall be overthrown
is death,” and
AVhereas. The Ruler of the Universe
has seen fit to call your Mother, Lucy
Griffin Morris, from labor to reward,
we, the members of the Negro Medical
Dental and Pharmaceutical Associa
tion of Nebraska, Join with you in
this great sorrow. The name of
Mother is one of the most sacred of
ail connected with human relations,
and when we think of its significance
as related to society and humanity we
are lost in wonder and amazement,
and
Whereas. God has decreed that all
living must die, and He has promised
to be a Mother to the motherless, and
we sincerely regret this loss to the
family and the community, vet we fPel
so long as one of this family lives she
will never die, her Christian influence
will live. Therefore,
Be It Resolved, that we, the mem
bers of the Negro Medical, Dental and
Pharmaceutical Association, commend
this family to God who will take care
of them and say to them,
Weep not that her tolls are over,
Weep not that her race is run:
God grant that we may rest as calmly
When our work like her’s is done.
Be It Further Resolved, That a
copy of these resolutions be spread
upon our minutes, a copy sent to the
family, and one to the weekly papers,
Respectfully submitted,
