Rev. L. P. Bryant, Pastor,
The services at St. John last Sun
day were interesting. Rev. Bryant
preached from Thes. 5:8. Some of the
most outstanding thoughts were as
follows:
Faith is one of the essential factors
in the life of a Christian. One must
have faith enough to stand regardless
to their condition. When we have on
the breastplate of love nothing can
hurt us.
“Love gets you everywhere.
Hate gets you nowhere.”
Hope as a helmet of salvation may
be faint, as following by the wayside;
faulting, not true or faulted and tri
umphant. Hope will cause faith to
grow strong.
Rev. and Mrs. Bryant left last
Monday to attend the commencement
at Western University.
The clubs of the church are all
working to make this a successful
year. The Senior Choir’s all request
program was well attended last Sun
day night A great spiritual mes
sage was received through song.

Dear Sir:
For some time an attempt has been
made by the Omaha Working Men’s
Commissioners to assist the unemploy
ed Colored citizens of Omaha, a large
number who are your regular cus
tomers.
I am sure you realize the employ,
ment situation of today with mem
bers of our group who are “the last
to be hired and the first to be fired”,
and when it comes to being given a
fair consideration, are placed at the
bottom of the list regardless of how
they support a business.
We represent 5% percent of 0
maha’s (population, and should re
ceive 5V6 percent of the city’s em
ployment, as we spend the same a
mount with the different concerns lo
cated here.
We are sure you realize the good,
bad and indifferent are found in all
regardless of race, and there are
those who are dependable, trusty, ap
preciative and fair and anxious for
an opportunity to make good. We are
seeking an opportunity of employ
ment with your company.
Thanking you for any help or con
sideration you may give in the form
of employment to members of our
group, which will be greatly apprec
iated and needed, I am
Respectfully yours,

Dr. G. B. Lennox,
2122 North 24th St.,
Omaha, Nebr.,
Dear Sir:
With reference to your letter of
January 31st, regarding the employ
ment of some of the unemployed a
mong the colored people in Omaha.
You no doubt realize at the pres
ent time that the working people are
not changing jobs as they did a few
years ago and our men who are em
ployed steady at this yard are men
who have worked here in the past and
have been working here for some
time. The only laborers we are hir
ing now other than that is just for
unloading an occasional car of coal or
doing some general work around the
yard, and of course we simply hire
the first man who comes along for
that job.
Only today I gave a colored man a
job of unloading a car of coal, so you
see we are not making any distinction
in the nationality or race of the men
we employ. We have no objection to
hiring colored people, the thing we
are interested in is to value received
for the money we pay out for work
done.
Very truly yours,
Clarence Thorp,
Peoples Coal Co., Mgr.

Mr. Clarence Thorp,

City.
Dear Mr. Thorp:
We highly appreciate the consider
ation expressed in your letter of Feb
ruary 14th relative to employment for
our group in your concern.
If all persons and concerns that we
support manifested a similar view
port, the employment situation at
this time would be better as a whole
for members of our group.
We do not expect you to change the
employees you have had any number
of years, as this would not be fair to
those men. We try to be humanitar
ians regardless of whom involved,
seeking consideration and cooperation
from those whom we know are con
tinually given same by this body of
people.
If you are able to take on new em
ployees, it will be greatly apprec
iated and needed if you will consider
Colored men who are able to give you
in return value received for that
which they are to be paid.
We realize the situation that con-1
fronts you at this time, and are hop
iiv? to receive the consideration as ex

Local
Race prejudice must go. The Fatherhood of God
and the Brotherhood of Man must prevail. These are
the only principles which will stand the acid test of good
citizenship in time of peace, war and death.
t (1) We must have our pro-rata of employment in
businesses to which we give our patronage, such as groc
I ***y stores, laundries, furniture stores, department stores
and coal companies, in fact every concern which we sup
port. We must give our citizens the chance to live res
pectably. We are tired of educating our children and
permitting them to remain economic slaves and enter in
to lives of shame.
(2) Our pro-rata of employment for the patronage
to our public corporations such as railroad companies*
the street car company, the Nebraska Power Company,
the Northwestern. Bell Telephone Company and other
establishments which we are forced to support by right
of franchise. Also our pro-rata of employment in re
turn for the taxes we pay in our city, county state and
federal government.
(3) To encourage the establishment of a first class
hospital that we may get the best that there is in medical
science from our doctors whom we know to be nearest us,
i also to encourage a high respect of them and encourage
more of our girls to take nurse training.
(4) A one hundred per cent deportment of our cit
izens in our public or private places of business, especial
ly on street cars. If we are to be respected we must act
respectably, especially in public places where we are con
stantly before the public’s eye.
(5) A one hundred per cent membership in the Om
aha branch of the NAACP. should be had to encourage
the efforts put forth by the fouhders of the organization
and to assist the general office to establish a five million
dollar endowment fund to maintain operating expenses
and to further the principles of the NAACP. All peo
ple of all races must be educated up to a higher principle
and a more thorough understanding of interracial rela
tionship that our country may in reality be a government
of the people, for the people and By the people in whole
and not in part.
(6) Ihe re-establishment of the Christian Religion
as Christ taught it^for the uplifting of mankind, elimin
ating financial and personal gain. A practical Christian
Religion, week day as well as Sunday. An attitude to
ward our fellowman as a brother in order to establish a
principle which wiD guide the destiny of each other’s
children; our neighbor’s children today are our children
tomorrow.
(7) Courteous treatment in all places of business
and the enforcement of the State Civil Right Law.
(8) To encourage and assist in the establishment of
the following financial institutions near 24th and Lake
Streets: A building and loan association, a state bank,
administering aid and assistance to our widows and
children.
(9) To encourage the erection of a one hundred
thousand dollar Young Men’s Christian Association
Building near 24th and Lake Streets.
(10) To enlarge the Young Women’s Christian As
sociation that it may supply sufficient dormitory accom
modations.
(11) To teach our citizens to live economically with
in their earning capacity by printing in each issue a bud
get system for various salaries.
# (12) To make Omaha a better city in which to live
by inaugurating a more cosmopolitan spirit among our
American citizens.
(13 To put a stop to the Divorce Evil by passing a
State law making the mistreatment of a wife or a hus
band by either of them, a criminal offense to be decided
by a jury, first offense, jail sentence of a short duration;
second offense, one of longer duration; third offense,
from one to five years in the penitentiary. This, we be
lieve will make men and women think before marrying.
(14) We must become owners of the city govern
ment by paying a seemingly higher salary to those whom
we employ to administer its affairs, a salary that will at
and, also, a first-class trust company for the purpose of
tract men of high calibre.
National
(1) Fight for a passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill
and thus stop the shamful lynching of American citizens.
(2) One of our citizens in the president’s cabinet.
(3) Federal control of the educational system that
every child must have a high school education.
(0 Assist in the furtherance of research by our
scientists and historians to prove that civilization was
first founded in Africa.
(5) Establish a political influence which will bring
about our pro-rata of higher appointments made by our
chief executives.
(6) Stop graft in politics by passing a Federal La.w
making election day a legal holiday and compelling every
American citizen of voting age to vote.
(7) Prevent further wars by teaching the so-called
white race that it is high time for them to quit fooling
themselves about white supremacy with only three-tenths
of the world’s population. They must be taught that
color is due to climatic conditions. * They must be taught
that seven-tenths of the world’s population is made up of
darker races. They must be taught that the rays of sun
that blaze upon the equator and turn the skin brown do
not affect the power of the brain any more than the cold
ness of icy glaciers affect the brain of the white race;
and that the darker races will not continue to be crushed
by a money mad few. If the Fatherhned of God and the
Brotherhood of Man are not welded into the hearts of this
world’s family now, by teaching the principles laid down
by our Saviour, it will be welded into the hearts of our
children some day soon, on the bloodiest battlefields this
world has ever known.
(8) Cut down congressional representation from
the Southern States in proportion to the number of votes
cast.
The OMAHA GUIDE will put forth its best efforts
to bring about the above 22 points with the assistance of
those who believe it is for the best interest of good Amer
ican citizenship.
