FIRST SINCE MS INJURY
REV. DIR. JOHN WRIGHT
PREACHED GHRESTMA5 SER
MON AT ST. PAUL'S
JESUS. TEE SUNLESS Chilli
Topic of Sermon That Laid
Stress On the Essentially of
a Belief ia the Naz-
arcne.

Re. John Wright, of st. Faui's Episeo-
pal church vest erday morning preached
his first sermon since his recovery frcm
the railroad accident he met with some
time ago.
In view of this fact. and also that it
was Christmas, the church was
decorated with flowers of all kinds
and holly and evergreens. The choir of
fifty voices sang the new communion
setting by Stainer the English composer.
The pastor took for his text. 'In the
Name of thy Holy Child, Jesus" Fol
lowing is his sermon in part:
There is a remarkable resemblance in
the ancient religion of the East. Take
the Egyptian religion and, 5000 years be-
fore the birth of Christ, we find It laying
down certain doctrines which ARE taught
in Holy Scripture. We trace in ii the
dCctline CT the trinity, the inc arratio1, e
judge of the quick and dead. and TIE
doctrine of immortal life. We find al o
the doctrine of the Virgin Mother and
the resurrection Of the body. In fainter
degree these resemblances arc detected in
Buddhism and the religion OF Zcroaster
and Confucius. How do we account fer
these resemhanees to Christianity? Ma
sey and some other writer's have argued
that all religions have a common or gin,
but we cannot for moment admit tn 6
fer the logical deduction OF this posi- ion
their origin.
1--WE cannot admit this for Christianity
The resemblances have been accounted
for by others ON the sIpposition that
the Jewish nation. by its early CONNER
cial intercourse with the nations of the
earth, introduced the idea of a RE zs.ah-
ship. Be this as it may. the resemblances
to the Christian religion are but SUI
perficial.
without going into general conside-a-
ton of the subject, take this one aspect
the holiness Of the Child Christ. He is
distinctly spoken of everywhere in
Scripture as Holy Child in the sense of
being sinless. This IS unique. Bu5dha
never claimed this for himself nor cid
his disciples claim it for him. The So me
is true of Zoroaster, Confucius and Mo
manned Therefore our Christmas joy
is centered about sinless child. This
makes his example complete.
LET US teach childhood that it has IN
Christ perfect example. Let US put
into the Christmeas Joy, this idea CT.
.cl1iidren that the more their lives are
life of Christ sc shall they reach highest
great lesson Of Christmas Let us in
us not be carried away with the MI
ment of the festival or with the selfish
idea that it is the day on which We are
to receive something. But let US impress
more and more upon our youth that fo.i-
Eess makes character, just as it made
the character of Jesus"

One would scarcely believe that this

gentleman was T. H.. Hofstad, who stop

at Tacoma for his Alaskan homo, which,
by the way, is only as far north as

where the mercury never gets the bluaa
like it does down here in Minnesota, is
some explanation for the character OF
Mr.. Hofstad's remarks. The gentleman
stated that at Sitka the thermometer
never goes below zero
Mr. Halstad says that a. great deal
OF profitable quartz mining is carried on
near Sitka, he himself owning a good
paying mine, He also mines some at
Cape Nome, about 1,40e miles from h s
place and contradicts the pessinistic re-

their failure to- their own lack OF DreEapa.
besides their inexperience in mining and
encountering hardship, such as must be
borne at Nome He predicts that Nome
will develop into the greatest mining
camp in the word. He thinks the next
season will not find AS many prospect
ors there as before, but that the output
of metal wifi exceed anything yet seen
and that times generally win be BETTER.
Mr.. Hofstad does not outline very
encouraging future for. Sitka as. a popu-

Mail Had All Been Delivered

Christmas has. just passed and many
are the presents that were sent through
the post office. Indeed Santa Claus
must have been buster than usual this
Christmas as there was an increase of
about twenty five per cent. in every de-
pa:tment especially in the registered let
ter department" From the receipts of
the registered department it would seem
that people are becoming more adapted
to using as safe method as possible
in sending their Christmas tokens.
AS result of tie extra heavy btisi-
ness this year. eighteen, extra carriers
were employed during the last three days
to help distribute the enormous amount
of mail matter. There Were also eight
extra clerks employed for the last eight
days. az. ..sl.l.,..s,ll 5..5 49, a..
In spite of the fact that the Christmas
business this year was SO much heavier
than usual. everything had been delivered
yesterday noon that had arrived, with
the exception of the registered mail. In
this department number of sacks full
of mail arrived late Yesterday, which
necessitated the office forge. in this de-
partment working till late yesterday
afternoon. A special feature OF the ex-
ira business was Che fact that the in
crease was general throughout the city
to all of the stations, and net alone at
the main post office Supt Hadlicix is to
be congratulated for thenway.in which he
superintendent the work during the busy
season. 1t is not expected that there
will be a very heavy rush today, hut
to guard against any surprises that
might arise, the extra force will report
