CHURCH SERVICES.
A Large Congregation Greets Pastor Cole The Sermon or the Houn:. 0ur
 Heavenly Father.


 It was a large congregation that greeted Rev. Mir. Cole at the Congrega. tional church last Sunday evening. A song service of a half hours duration preceded the sermon. Miss Spiers sang a solo that was beautiful thing. Only few of the members of the choir were in attendance.
 The pastors first lesson was concern ing Gods promises to Joshua, the great military hero of the bible. The second, the 7th verse of the 8tb chapter of Mathew, being part of Christ's Scr mon on the Mount, which embraces the 5th, 9th and 7th chapters of that book.
 "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, md ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you"
 The speaker started out by saying that there are two ways Of teaching about God, the first, the common ordi. nary way and the second, which he con- sidered much the better Concerning the first, and we give only brief syn opsis, he stated that the most common, ordinary way, both in and out of col Ieges, was to represent God as all mighty, all powerful, ever watchful, all seeing and possessing infinite attri- butes; and while all this was true, the first teachings of Him was to possess the young mind with awe and fear.
 The second and what the pastor con- sidered the better plan was to teach God as a Heavenly Father, who thinks of us, loves us, works for us, cares for us, protects US and provides for our flu ture wants. This, he said, was Christ's manner of teaching, and then he gave the number of times in which the word God occurs in the Sermon on the Mount aud how much oftener He referred to God as a Father-as our Father.
 The learned divine hit the scientists a rap. He first praised them for the many discoveries they had made, but said that they had never added a good thing or thought to our knowledge of God. He might have truthfully said that the apparent aim of modern science is not only to add no good thing to the knowledge of God, but to destroy the good, true and pure belief that many have in Him.
 The pastor, in closing, drew beauti- ful picture of true earthly love-the love between human beings-between father, mother and their chiIdren-and compared it with the love of our Heav- enly Father for His people on this earth.
 The sermon, of which this is so poor and meager a report, was a splendid discourse and opened up many new ideas. It must result in good.

FROM DOCTOR wl2T.

A letter has been received in Doug las from Rev. Loyal L. Wirt, written at sea just before his arrival at Seattle the first of the month, in which he says:
 "From Skagway l made St. Michael in just fourteen days. The weather was fine, the trip a comfortable and en- ioyable one, and, excepting five miles around White Horse Rapids, travelled all the way by steam.
 At Dawson, where I spent 36 hours, my heart was saddened to find 5000 men. broke, idle and Respondent, and no place except the sidewalk for them to sit. read or write. Why some of our British Christians have not established | a reading room there is a mystery.
 "From Dawson down the Yukon we were hung up on sand bars four times. July 26th we sighted Behring sea, and the whiF of the salt air was like news from home
 At St. Michael I found a permanent population of four or five hundred which swells to perhaps some 1900 to POGO in the summer season. Four large commercial companies have their head quarters here-indeed they make the town. spent two Sundays here preach ing in the dining rooms of the hotels, and, there being no Protestant services, I made arrangements, with the hearty cooperation of the companies and resi- dents, for regular gospel services, here after. MT. Raymon Robins will come down from Dawson and take charge of the work.
 Taking aIocal steamer for Cape Nome I reached that place the second day, Here I preached in Anvil City the first sermon ever heard in that camp of 400C people. This country seems wonder fully rich and many men are making from S1O to S1OO per day simply rock ing out the sand on the beach with old fashioned rockers. The placer mines are also very rich and some take out thousands of dollars after only few days run. Inever saw money so plen- tiful, or free.
 Many think that next spring Anvil City will be a close rival to Dawson. Indeed some think it will surpass that l .,,,-1,, Io,,;+;-b c;+,,
 In six days time had raised enough to build a church and a hospital and am now on my way to San Francisco to purchase material and furniture, and secure donations of bedding and equip, ment
 lam very sorry to give up my trip East as I had planned, but l must re- turn to Anvil City by the next boat sailing about Sept. 10th, as that will be the last before navigation closes.
 have in mind a good man who is available for this place and if he arrives from the KIondike I shall try to leave by dog team inland and be with you in Douglas by the middle of winter.
 Please give my kindest regards to the people of Douglas Island.
 Affectionately,
 LOYAL L. WIRT.

ABANDONED IT.
FOR THE OLD FASHIONED COFFEE
WAS KILLING.

Il always drank coffee with the rest of
the family, for it seemed as il there was
nothing for breakfast if we did not have
it on the table.
II had been troubled some time with
my heart. which did not feel right. This
trouble. grew worse steadily.
Some times it would beat fast and at
other times very slowly. SO that l would
hardly be able to do work for an hour or
two after breakfast, and if l walke up
a hill, it gave me Il severe pain.
Il had no idea of what the trouble was
until a friend suggested that perhops it
might be caused by coffee drinking. l
tried leaving off the coffee and began
drinking Postum Cereal Food Coffee.
The change came quickly. l am now
glad to say that l am entirely we'll of the
heart trouble and attribute the cure to
leaving off coffee and the use of Postum
Cereal Food Coffee.
"A number of my friends have ADAM
doned the old fashioned coffee and have
taken up with Postum. which they are
using steadily. There are some people
that make Postum very weak and taste
less, but if boiled long enough. accord
ing to directions. it is a very delicious
beverage. We nave never used any Of
the old fashioned coffee since it was first
started in our house.' Mrs. l.. A. Smith

AGOA'S DEATH INVESTIGATED.

Coroner Julien conducted an inquest
last night on the remains of Daniel Rgoa.
who died at his home Monday afternoon
under suspicious circumstances. How
ever, a searching investigation failed to
throw any light on the mystery.
Dr.. McNeVin testified thai he called to
see Agoa Monday afternoon. and when he
arrived at Agoa's place the latter was
dead. He a large bruise on the
left side. caused by a fall or blow. and
this, in the doctors opinion. was the inn
mediate cause of death.
Anulnber of other witnesses testified,
and while Agoa'S movements, up to the
time he was taken home. We're traced.
nothing showing how Agoa received this
fatal blow was brought out The jury re-
turned a verdict that deceased came to
his death from the effects of rupturing a
blood vessel; that said rupture was pro-
ducea by a blow on the body, but the
manner in which such blow was received
it is impossible for this jury to deter
