fifs: part ef the lecture was a health talk. It illustrated by q number of pictures the effect of Alcohol upon the human body. and it also discus sed the effect oi the want of clean illness, and also of careless spitting in the spread of disease.
 Friday morning, the service was led by MT. Frank of Howkan. It is said that there are states that can produce suitablecandidates for pres idcnt at a moments notice. The Hydah people are something like this. They can produce q man who is able to take a responsible place in Christian work at any time. Mr. Frank was called on suddenly, spoke, and he did itwith as much ease as if he had ample time to pre- pare.
 In the afternoon, first Mr. Wag- goner discussed committee work in the Christian Endeavor. Mr. Wag- goner's great patience makes him a good organizer. He possibly has his committees organized better than any other Christian Endeayor society.
 Mr. Waggoner's Address was fol- lowed by discussion upon the topic, Industrial Work smong the natives. The discussion was led by MT. Geo Blake of Wrangell, and followed by Mr. Davis of Klinquan MT Charles Lot of Wrangell. Mr. James of Howkan and MT. Lewis of Wrangell, all natives,
 In the evening, the Wrangell people gave a reception to the del egates. They were assisted by the Howkan band. In the program MT. Charles Lot gave an adress, entitled "The future of the Indian.
 Saturday morning the Sunrise prayer meeting was led by Thomas a Saxman. Andrew Thomas is Sitka school boy, and is thorough Bible student. The service, of course, was a good one.
 After the morning service busi- ness meeting was held at which Rev Montgomery, of Howkan. was elected president of the Union, Messrs. Davis of Klin-quan and Lewis of Wrangell. vice-presidents, Rev Waggoner of Klawack, cores bonding secretary, and Mr. Geo. Blake, vice-secretarv for Wrangell, Mir Willard vicu-secretary for kla- wack and MT. James for Howkan. Saturday afternoon was devoted to a council led by Chief Shakes of Wrangell On the platform were leading men from Wrangell, Kluc- wan, Klawack, Howkan and Kiln quan. These men were all Chris tian Endeavorers. The subject un- der discussion was the keeping of the Sabbath. They all urged that all their friends should help them to get the law changed whereby Sunday would be the closed day for salmon fishing rather than Sat urday. As 1t is now the canneries compel them to break the Sabbath if they work at all at their most lucrative business, fishing. Will not all of our Christian friends in the east write to their respective Congressmen and urge them to do what they can tc have thIs law changed?
 The evening service Saturday was lantern service to prepare for the Lords supper the next day.
 Sunday morning MT; Chae: Lott led the Sunrise prayer meeting, and Mir. Montgomery preached,
 MT. Montgomery presided at the Lrdo's Table. In the afternoon MT. Talaner led the convention meeting at 1 p. m. The offering for Home Missions was s1250.
 In the evening Mr. Montgomery preached to the white people, and Monday evening was the farewell service led by Mir. Davis.

The Christian Endeavor
 Convention.
lThe Northern Light.

JOHN tllLlJD ever HEl- III AIdSAtt was called to meet at Wrangell November Sth. The delay of the mail boat from Howkan on account of storms, postponed the opening of the Convention until Tuesday, November 11th.
 Early in the morning of the 11th the people of Wrangell were awak- ened by the music of the Howkan Christian Endeayor Band Imme- diately the church bell Was rung and all hastened to the church to welcome the delegates. There were ! present from Klawack forty, from Howkan thirty, and from Kin quan, six. and from Kluc-quan, our newest field. three.
 Immediately on their arrival at the church. MT. Montgomery led in a service of praise and thanksgiv- ing. The people were welcomed informally by tbe pastor of the Wrangell Church. Then a lunch of sandwiches and coffee was sery- ed to all the delegates.
 The people were then shown to the places which had been prepar- ed for the delegates.
 In the evening the convention was formally called to order.
 The formal address of welcome was delivered by the president of the Wrangell Christian Society, MT Vim. Lewis.
 This was followed by an address from Chief Shakes. He said: Friends, I am glad tbat you are with us, tonight. When we are camping, We look for a good place in which to camp, We try to se- lect one that is sheltered from the wind. We are camping, my friends, tonight in Jesus camping place, and I am glad that you are with us"
 MT. Lewis then led in a stirring service of song, It was opened by singing the Endeayor Convention hymn written specially forthe con- vention.
 After the service of song, then MT. Montgomery gave the opening address of the convention. It was a stirring appeal for unity in Chris. tian effort founded in Iseiah lis He well pictured the problems that confront the Christian workers in Alaska at the present time. The pioneer work is nearly over. The need now is to train the Christians SO that they will live consistent Christian lives. Then he empha- sized how necessary it is for all workers to get together to accom- plish this result. Get together he says in thought; come let us req son together" Then further, Get together in confession" and finally Get together in hope and assur- aoce of final victory" One feature of the address needs special men tion. It contained an appeal to white people to join in Christian work in Alaska. The address was a fitting opening of the convention.
 At ' a. m. Wednesday Harry Willard of Klawack, Mir. Wagon CTS capable lieutenant, led the Sunrise prayer meeting. MT. Will lard we understand received his early education in the Juneau home, He is full of enthusiasm and vefy spiritual. That the meet ing was good, need not be told. It was the beginning of the services led by the natives. and possibly these services were the most sue cessful. It plainly proved that Indians are just as willing to fol- low native leadership as white even more go when the native lead CT is competent.
 Wednesday afternoon MT. Corser gave an address entitled "Old Gus toms 8 Hindrance to Christian Lite.n
 In the evening MT. Montgomery gave an address, printed in full in

All those who wish to help, either by contribution of goods or money, twill leave their gifts with Vim. Lewis or J. G. Grant, Mrs. H. D. Campbell or Tom Genanisty.
 Tuesday was a very boisterous day in and about Wrangell, the wind blowing a gale for several hours, and the tide beimg very high some little damage was done on the water front in both ends of town by knocking the underpinning from under walks.
 The City of Seattle came in from the south Tuesday evening with F tons of freight;
