Preaching with all the zeal and in
spiration from on High our minister
Reverend Childress brought to a ca
pacity congregation an inspiring and
bold message filled with the Power of
Cod Almighty on Sunday morning,
January 10, 1913, entitled Our Hope.

|lonians 4, chapter Is, verse For the
Lord Himself shall descend from
Heaven with a shout, with the voice
of the archangel and with the trump
of Cod; and the dead in Christ shall
rise first" and his thoughts of the day
was as follows: Jesus Christ will
show any man the way; if that man
is willing to go all the way, Cod has
endowed man with many good quail
tiles, and finally Our Hope gives US
preferential connection with Jesus
Christ.
Let us pray for the sick throughout
jthe week, whosoever they may be or
wherever they may be.

tor was from Joshua 24:15. Theme:
When are we Free to Choose. When

many of us would live differently. We
should choose now whom we will
serve. We cannot advocate choice of
heredity, but we can for environment.

free choices. We are free to choose
our own destiny. Any individual has
the freedom to choose his associates
and friends. Choose you this day
whom you will serve.

APPLIES FOR RATE INCREASE

The Omaha & Council Bluffs Street
Railway company last Friday, January
9, filed with the Nebraska State Rail-
way Commission an application for
revision of Omaha bus and streetcar
fares. The company's application asks
that all adult fares be on the straight
ten-cent basis. This means that the
optional three for Csc token fare eff
fective in Omaha since 1880 will be
discontinued. No change in student
and children fares was requested.
The application filed with the Com
mission points out that the compan's
operating costs have now increased to
the point where it would suffer Sc
rious financial loss in 1913 if contin-
ued to operate on its present fare
schedule.
The company states in the appli-
cation that its costs for materials and
supplies have increased 1859 since
! 1888 and hat its taxes have increased
approximately 1920. More employees
are now required to furnish service.
The addition of these employees, COM
bined with wage increases, has in
creased the company's payroll 1920
during the same ten-year period.
Company officials, in filing the ap-
plication, said, I'VE regret very much
that it is necessary for us to take this
action. We delayed it as long as we
could. But our operating expenses
have now reached the point where we
can no longer maintain good trans
portation service on the token fare

A REORGANIZED
UNDERGRADUATE CHAPTER

An Omaha renaissance of Alpha
Phi Alpha spirit, activity and fellow
ship is taking place in the form OF the
reorganization Of the Undergraduate
chapter and a new Sphinx Club tor
pledges. The remittent Alpha activity
in Omaha was due to our National
emergency which engendered the per-
sonnet of the fraternity to such an ex-
tent that consequential work could not
he carried on. However, with the ter
mination of that conflict, and with the
entrance of more Omaha Negroes into
college, Alpha must OF necessity be
awakened. By encouraging Negro
Youths to enter college, be requiring
scholastic achievement there, by con-
tributing to the local, state, and ma
tional projects for the betterment OF
all men, and by the conSanquine be-
lief in the relationship of all man;
Alpha strives to make its community,
its country, and especially its race,
progressive.
Presently in Omaha Beta Beta chap
ter of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity has
only two active members: Mr.. Eugene
HARRISON and Mr.. Welcome Bryant.
A Sphinx Club for pledges, however,
is rapidly increasing in both talent and
numbers to subsequently, swell the
ranks of Beta Beta chapter. The
Sphinx Club is now comprised OF
Theodore Cunningham, pharmacy stu
dent of Creighton University, and
president of the Sphinx Club; Mr.. Ar
nett Bonner, Pre-law student OF
Creighton University and secretary Of
the Sphinx Club; Mr.. John Barber.
