WHERE WHALES ARE FOUND.

they Frequent Long inlct stretching FII
North from Hudsun's Bnv.
From the northern part OF lludson's
Bay, already arctic in character,
stretches far toward the polu deer
inlet, which some early navigator OF
those desolate polar shores has termed
Roe's Welcome-as if anything within
that ice bound and lonely coast could
be welcome TO n person just from civ
ilization! The name was no doubt given
in memory of some escape from the
drifting ice-paclSs, when the inlet fur
nished refuge from one of the fierce
storms of that polar-regiou.
Roe's Welcome is famed hunting
place for the great polar whale, or
"bowhead, as the whalers call it. This
huge whale, which is, indeed, immense
in size, often makes his home among
the great ice packs and ice fields of the
polar seas and a goodly quantity of
these it finds in Roe's Welcome. But
these ice packs, swinging to and fro
with the tides, currents and winds in
such long, narrow inlet as this,
render navigation dangerous even
for the stanch whaling ships, and
they generally make their fishing
grounds off the lower mouth of the
great inlet, where the cruising is
much safer, if not always &C
profitable. Occasionally, when some
exceptionally good ice master is in
charge of a whaler he dashes into the
better fishing ground for short cruise;
another less skillful, lured by the
brighter prospects or discouraged by
poor catch outside, enters the inlet and
either reaps a rich harvest of oil and
bone or wrecks his vessel. Or he may
even escape after an imprisonment in
the grip of the merciless ice-fetters for
year or two longer than he had in.

Proposed ship Canal.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.--Representa'
tive Chapman, of Michigan, will bring
before congress bill to provide for the
construction of a ship canal around the
American side of Niagara falls, and
also similar waterway across the
state of New York, from point near
Buffalo, to the Hudson river, so that
vessels from the lakes may have free
access to tide-water. The proposed
canal is to be $50 feet wide, with an
average depth of twenty feet, and will
cost from $50, 900, 900 to $50 900, 600. Mr..
Chapman thinks such canal world

The fact that so many of us, like Mr..

CONTROLLING THE PASSIONS.

Rev. DIR. Cunningham Gave an Entertain
inE Discourse Last Evening.
Rev. d. A. Cunningham, of the First
Presbyterian Church, delivered an ex-
cellent sermon last evening. DR.. Cum
ningham took for his text: Every man
that strived for the Master is temperate
in all things" Or in other words,
Controlling the Passions" He said:
The first way to get passion under
control is to come to the church and
learn the teachings from the Bible; en-
ter into the Christian spirit OF
the gospel and serve the Lord,
II is pitiful sight to
see habtual drunkard Flooding along
the streets, becoming more degraded
each day that be lives; and it is even
sadder TO hear the people say, he in
heritS it. '"
Man certainly at some time in his
life has control Of his passions and is
able TO master them, why can he not
continue so when he sees he is falling
In satan's clutches? Surely the first
time i'm his life he has not lost all his
resolution, and has not enough will
power 10 be a man again"
He took for example the life OF a
true, Christian, moral, upright man,
the late DR.. David Hays Agnew, Of
Philadelphia, who was looked up to
with the greatest confidence by most all
the men of learned professions in tn at
city. His life had been one of the
greatest examples OF the true Christian
that ever lived. All men trusted him
They honored him, and moreover,
mourned for his death. Everybody
knew Of his noble, energetic work, and
how he managed TO attend TO his pa
tients throughout the year, not even for
one Sunday neglecting his duty to
Cod
He closed his sermon by advising all
young men starting out in life, to study
the life of DR.. Agnew and see the good
work he did while on earth.

Rev. j. Roy Campbell Tells of Its In
ception and Subsequent Growth.
The pulpit all day yesterday at st.
Luke's Episcopal church on the Island
was occupied by Rev. j. Roy Campbell.
rector of Dorchester and Rural Dean OF
Shedlac, in the Diocese OF Frederick
ton, Canada, who has been the guest OF
Rev. Mr.. Birmingham for several days.
The church was we'll filed at both
morning and evening services. Ex-
cellent music was rendered by the
choir, all the hymns being sung with
much spirit and expression.
Rev. Campbell is a somewhat elderly
pastor, but active and untiring In his
efforts in the church, and this was evil
denced by his earnest and eloquent dis
courses yesterday. In the course OF his
remarks last evening lie referred to the
fact that the people TO whom he was
talking were living in the State that
had the honor Of first using the glorious
liturgy OF the Church Of England. 1t
was on May 14th, 1921, at jamestown,
Virginia, that the first body Of English
men (perhaps you are all descend
ed from them), knelt in
the services Of the established
church. For this reason alone shall
always visit that city with the warmest
interest, and shall always cherish such
memorials of the early church as are
extant. Mr.. Campbell gave consider
ably in detail the early history OF the
church, and made ii exceedingly inter-
esting to all present. He predicted that
the Episcopal Church had now reached
a point where it was greatly increased,
and where the world will more and more
recognize the logical principals it advo-
Gates.
