Louis c. Frey, Of Newark, N. j., is
now in the Copper River country at the
head of an exploring and prospecting
party. Mr.. Frey, who is a veteran pros
pector, says in a letter to a friend in
this city:
The Copper River is nearly four hum
dred miles long, draining over $4,000
square miles, and by a portage Toad)
of seventy-live miles at it's upper end.
can be connected with the Tanana
River, which flows into the Yukon.
One can also reach the Yukon from
the Copper River by ascending the
Chillyna River, which empties into the
latter stream, as far east as Scolai or
Copper River Pass, which is only
eighty miles long. At the other side of
Scolai Pass is the head of navigation
of the White River, which empties into
the Yukon midway between Fort Sell
kirk and Dawson City.
There will be three routes next year
Pass and via Copper River. The last
will be the easiest and shortest. Sew

ing to run steamers from Seattle, Sit
ka and Juneau to the mouth of the
Copper River. and there is a strong

took the philosophy of God and thereby
was he greatly the gniner. There is
nothing in earthly wisdom that is not
found in the gospel. The profound prin-
ciples that underlie human life have
nowhere been formulated so beautifully
as in Chrst's words All that is good
in philosophy is found in Christ. He
lived like a philosopher, his bearing
among men was philosophical only he

You'd all human boundaries. His phios.
ophy touched the regions OF he infinite.
He died like a philosopher. Did any of
the sages of Greece die more beautifully.
When Paul turr ed his hack upon
Greek wisdom or philosophy he turned
his back only upon the hu>k to find the
real thing in Christ. How truthful and
every way grand and commendabe
seems the attitude of Paul standing face
to face with Greek culture, holding alott
the hated cross. There is something
beautifully, yea, sublimely dramatic in
the scene. Here were the Jews of Corinth
asking for a sign-that is sign OF
divine power. Give us some token"
they say, that God is in this
thing" The Jews had been used to
signs through all their generations.
God had been in the habit of ac-
companying his words to them by signs
and wonders since the day of Abraham

think from such source as this has
come our weakness. 1t is this that has
made us lose power in these New
England communities. if indeed we have
LOST power. Human souls cannot be
won from their sins by philosophical spccu-
lation. Hungry hearts cannot be fed on
poetical quotations; sorrowing spirits
can not be comiorted by esthetics. They
want that living bread that came down
from heaven-even the gospel OF our
blessed Lord. n What we need to-
day is the spirit OF him who, finely cu-
tivaed as he was. and able TO discourse
on all high themes, could yet stand in
the presence of Greek poetry and art, and
yet say that he had formed the sublime
purpose to yield to none O the tempta-
tons Of the place and the hour. For he
had determined TO know nothing among
them save Jesus Christ and Him cruciIied.
Nor in doing this did Paul lose power.
Nay, indeed, he gained UNNECESSARILY,
and so should we. In no city in all his
travels did he have such success as
in Corinth. Nothing else in
all the centuries has had such power
over men as that upluted cross upon
which the Nazarene died; and there IS
power in nothing else that can match it
today. Let the shadow OF tho cross then
oyerlay the pulpit il you woul1 make it
a pulpit OF power Let the light OF
Of the cross fl ,sh out in sermon and
prayer and all hearts shall bow down
and own their power. y You
need not discard philosophy, poetry or
art; you need not despise cult ure, but
yet alone they are nothing, Baptrsed in
the light of crucl6xlon they are most
helpful.

the reading of the letters from former

of Washington and Rev. Edgar L. Morse
of Tomah, Wis. The following historical
sketch was prepared by Deacon Morrill,:
Historical Sketch.
Tht first church was built in 1890 on
spot OF ground just above w. F. Dole's
house on the st. Johnsbury road about
a mile east OF this village, and was made
Of logs 45 by 80 feet. 1t was covered
with bark and The floor was made OF

ing house" and was used as place Of
worship / | years; in 1901 it was burned
up and frame house built upon the
same spot. This house was never
finished but was used as place OF wor-
ship 16 years, meeting there in the sum-
mer and in the Court House at he Green
in the winter
In 1917 the framework of the church
which was burned two years ago was
built in the old style OF high pulpit, gal
leriCs upon three sides etc. But this
house was nicely remodtled in 1851,
under the labors OF Rev. John Dudley Mt

stantialIy the same when burned, though
there were some repairs from time to
time, the largest Being in 1891, costing
SIX orseven hundred dollars. Mr.. Knowl-
ton was our pastor.
And we thought it was fine old
church more dear to many of us than the
new one will ever be.
But this is beautiful church and we
wish to congratulate our building COM
mittee upon their success and hope it
will long stand as a monument to their
names. And we wish to thank all who
have contributed so literally towards it's
