fortified since 1894 ne would admit he
had been mistaken. Dreyfus jumped 20
his feet as though he had been galvan-

I'm n voice which resounded through
the hall like n trumpet note:
you have lied. scoundrel'
The audience burst into wild cheer,
whereupon the ushers called FOR si-

IN ALASKA.
A Broad Mission Field Is
There.

There was a joint meeting of the
three Christian Endeavor societies of
Pilgrim church, Sunday evening, the
occasion being very interesting talk
upon the work among the Alaskan In
dams, which has been conducted under
the auspices of the missionaries sent
out by the Endeavor society of the
country.
Perley Thorne of the Pilgrim church,
who was one of the brave youth Of
the land to volunteer his services to
carry the gospel to the dark nations of
the far north, presided over the meet
ing, and gave the Introductory talk
which was replete with incident and an
ecdote. Mr. Thorne spoke of the mis-
sion field, and cited portions of Kipl
ing's poem on taking up the white
mans burden, as applicable to the duty
of the young people of today to arm
themselves with the Bible, as did
Cromwelps soldiers, put their faith in
the Lord, and put forth the keenest eff
fort of which their strength was cap
able.
The principal speaker Of the evening
was Miss Bertha M. Shepherd of Bos-
ton, who has been missionary in the
Alaskan field for long time, and who
is very familiar with the conditions
there Miss Shepherd was accompanied
by a very wee and beautiful little AL
askan girl, who wore, for the benefit of
the audience the native cloak and
hood, which Is much affected by the
little girls of Alaska. The little girl en-
joyed being the cynosure of all eyes,
and her pretty little cheeks glowed with
pleasure.
Miss Shepherd spoke in a very mag
netic manner, and carried the hearts of
her hearers with her. She said that If
God so willed she would rejoice to sleep
in the Arctic grave, if il be to advance
his cause. She spoke of the Indians of
the famous Chilkoot pass, and said that
they were filthy, ignorant and superSti-
tious.
The mission field in Alaska is divided
among the different denominations, but
some of the missionaries have taken up
the work merely for the love of the
Lord. When some of the Indians We're
asked what faith they belonged to,
they replied that they were Christians,
and did not know the meaning Of the
term Congregationalist, Baptist, Cath
Ollie and Universalist.
Miss Shepherd entered a plea that
we all might be known solely as Chris
tians, and might meet on common
ground Of love of God. She spoke of
the life at Point Barrow and other
places in Alaska, and referred to the
misstonary-Work among the Esquim-
aux. She believed that 1t was great
field, and said she hoped that more eff
fort would be put into the advancement
of Gods kingdom in the future, than
there had in the past.
