After Death Immortality Death brings every human being face to face with thj greatest my stiry known to man. It.is that which doges all the scenes that be be-1 tween the morn’ of laughter and the night of tears, and where ends the faults, the truths, joy, grief, care less shallow and tragic deeps of earthly life. But why should dread that which come to all that Is. You do not know, you cannot realize which is the greatest blessing. Life or death. You can not say death Is nc't better ,and those that believe In Immortally know that the grave Is not the end of your existence, but that It Is a door way to anoher, mure beautiful life and that the nights of sadness here is the dawn of your soul into1 a spiritual life. No person has a right to say that the future life of one passed out is filled with pain or sorrow. “It Is only Ignorance of what death real ly is that causes anyoue to regard It with dread and sorrow. Have you ever stood by the bedside of a dying friend just as the spirit was about to leave the, body? A bright smile seemed to appear upon the face of the dying one He seems to realize and know that they are going to a better land. The old fear of eter nal punishment fades away and there seems to be greater insight Into the spiritual and eternal life. There Is still something warm and familiar in those loved ones of ours for whom we yearn that have pass ed the change called death. They are not coid and ghastly as they seem at death. But human, sym pathetic with familiar faces. They are not lost to us on earth, but they are just a little farther away. Man needs not be afraid to die; for the soul there is no death, only contin uous life. We are living in an age that the demonstrations of the. re turn of spirit is a positive fact. Those who have passed into the spiritual world can and do return to us at timjeis and we have know ledge of their presence. All super stition dread and fear of spirit of the dead should be banished and in their place should come that sweet sacred feeling of love. For this cause was the gospel preach ed to those that are dead (I Peter, fourth chaper 6th verse) To know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Alone Were He And She She is dead, they said to him, come away; kiss her and leave her, thy love is clay and they held their breaths as they left he room. With a shudder to glance at the stillness and gloom but he who loved her too well to dread, the sweet, the stately, the beautiful dead. He lit his lamp and took his key and turn ed it. Alone were He and She. G. A. Harrington Spiritual Missionary PARKS’ ICE & FUEL CO.

M. Simmons, Prop. 1812 N. 24th St. WE. 6370 PLATFORM OF THE OMAHA GUIDE Race prejudice must go. The Fatherhood of God and the Brother hood 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. (1) We must have our pro-rata of emp!oyment in businesses to which we give our patronage, such as grocery stores, laundries, furniture stores, department stores and coal companies, in fact every concern which we support. We must give our citizens the change to live respectably We are tired of educating our children and permitting them to remain economic slaves and enter into 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 Notrhwestern Bell Telephone company and other establishments which we are forced to support by right of franchise. Also our pro-rata of employment in return for the takes 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 here is in medical science from our doctors whom we know to be nearest to us, also to encourage a high respect of them and encourage more of our girls to take nurses training. .4) An one hundred per cent deportment of our citizens in our public or private places of business, especially on street cars . If we are to be respected we must act respectably, especially in public places where we are constantly before the public’s eye. .5i A one hundred per cent membership in the Omaha branch of the N. A. A. C. P. should be had to encourage the efforts put forth by the founders 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 N. A. A. C. P. All people of all races must be educated up to a higher principle and a more thorough understanding of inter-racial relationship 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) The re-establishment of the Christian Religion as Christ taught it, for the uplifting of mankind, eliminating financial and per sonal gain. A practical Christian religion, week days as well as Sunday. An attitude toward our fellowman as a brother in order to establish a prin ciple which will 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 enforce ment 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, and, also, a first-class trust company for the purpose of administering aid and assistance to our widows and children. (9) To encourage he 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 Association that it may supply sufficient dormitory accommodations. (11) To teach our citizens to live economically within their earn ing capacity by printing in each issue a budget 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 mak ing the mistreatment of a wife or a husband by either of them a crimianl offense to be decided by a jury, first offense, jail sentence of a short dura tion, second offense one of longer duration, third of fence from one to five years in the penitentiary. This, we believe, will make mer: and women think before marrying. (14) We must become owners of our city government by paying a seemingly higher salary to those whom we employ to administer its af fairs, a salary that will attract men of high caliber. NATIONAL (1) Fight for a passage of the Dyer Anti Lynch bill and thus stop the shameful lynching of American citizens. (2) One of our citizens in the president’s cabinet. (3) Federal control of the educational sysem that every child must have a high school education. (4) Assist in the furtherence of recearch by our scientists and His torians 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 Law making election day a legal holiday and compelling every American citizen of voting age to vote. (7) Prevent further wars by teaching the socalled white race that it is high time for them to quit fooling themselves about white supremacy with only three-tenths of this 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 the sun that blazes upon the equator and turn the skin brown do not effect the power of the brain any more than the coldness of icy glaciers effect the brain of the white race; and that the darker races will not continue to be crushed by a money mad fed If the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man are not welded into the hearts of this world’s famly now, by teaching the principles laid down by our Saviour, it will be welded into the heart* of our children some dav soon, on the bloodiest battlefield this world has ever known
