It is all Right.

The death of John N. Myren, on Douglas Island, on the 12th of last month evidences the value of life insu- rance if taken in good company. He had S1,0000O insurance in the New York Life and the proof of death has been forwarded and upon it's receipt at the office, the return mail will bring a check for the amount. In the New York Life policies there are no condi- tions by which so many evade payment. The company does business on strict ly square and honorable basis, and if you take out a policy in that company you are certain of having the amount of policy promptly paid in case of death. Mr. J. J. c. Barber, of Juneau, is the agent Call and see him and he will explain the rules of the company to you, and when you understand them you will insure in no other. If not con venient to call, address letter to MT. Barber, box 34, and he will call and see you.

Glad Easter.

The Friends Mission was beautifully decorated, last Sunday, with flowers and birds and pampas branches and bunting, but more than all by the bright smiling faces of the Sunday School scholars, who had been looking for the dawning of this bright Easter morn.
 Little groups of men, women and children found their way early to the place and by 10 o'clock the little church was crowded to its utmost capacity.
 Promptly at the appointed hour the opening song was announced by Rev. ReplogIe and that grand old coronation hymn, "All Hail the Power of Jesus Name" burst forth from the throatS of the assembly in soul-stirring melody. After this the program was announced and carried out as follows:
 Scripture reading and prayer by Supt. Song,-"The Lord is risen" Class No. ? Easter Greetings -. Annie Williamson Welcome address. Frankie Landsburg Song-"My Kittie" ... Primary class Recitation. n................ Clara Jones Recitation. Bertha Phelps Recitation n..............Fl Flora Phelps Song-"Jesus Lives.

Superintendent Song-"Let the King of glory in" Easter offering. Song-"All United in Jesus"Class No. , Distribution of Easter Eggs.
 Closing Song-"God be with you till
 we meet again"
 A special Easter offering was made by the school to the fund for building the new church, which amounted to S26. and was further augmented in the evening until it reached total of S52.
 Our space forbids full description of all the good things of the service, but all who attended came away satlS- fled of two things-the Friends need a new church building, and Douglas City is we'll supplied with bright, talent ed children. The attendance was 2l6. ]
