only looking forward to the kings

interpret the hidden dream? King
Solomon says that wisdom is sweeter
than honey and the honey comb, and
more to be desired than gold-yea than
much fine gold. Ps. 1910. Then the
prophet would praise his God for such
wisdom that would enable him to look
down through the ages and write of
the wonderful things that were to come
to pass before the end of the world
when all men will stand before God to
give an account for their lives. Who
would not rejoice and praise God aloud

There was a silence for few seconds,
when he replied in a voice earnest and
deep:
well, there's much up here to en-
joy-but I'm glad to go back, because
it's, it's-home.
And that expressed the feelings of
all. They were going back home. They
were leaving civilization for islands
which are still wrapped in a grim
heathenish haze. There will be but
little for them to do in the Gilbert
Islands but fish and eat, and as for
clothes, it is land where clothing is
not necessarily required in the best
society. 1t has been suggested that
the knowledge the Gilbert Islanders
have acquired here in the making of
hats may be the means of starting up
big industry there. BY working dur

would be doing a Christian work by
finding market for them on the main

THE COMMISSIONS DECISION.
That the decision announced now is
a victory for the United States can be
readily seen by a glance at the accom-
panying map. America wins all with
the exception of the more recent Can
adam claim. Canada claimed that the
boundary should run from the souther-
most point of Prince of Wales Island
through Benin and not Portland Chan
mel. By the commissions decision in
favor of this claim Canada gets the
important strip of land, seventy-five by
a hundred miles in extent, between
those two channels, but loses the great
strip of coast line to the north, in
Guiding the Lynn Canal and the towns
from which miners depart for the in
terror.

in the southeastern corner not far

follows: Canada claimed access to the
ocean by the three inlets named above,
arguing the intention Of the 1925 treaty
was not that the ten-league boundary
line should follow and be measured
from the intentions of inlets running
up from the sea to long distances in
land. The Lynn canal for instance,
runs inland for nearly 100 miles and
at it's northern extremity the towns of
Dyea, and Skagway, and Pyramid
Harbor are situated. affording the best
supply depots and routes to the gold
fields. These places Canada claimed
belonged to her by virtue of her inter-
probation of the 1925 treaty; but the
United States had actual possession of
them and exercised jurisdiction in
Skagway. America argued that al
though the boundary had never been
delimited, yet it was marked as going
around the head of Lynn Canal on
the Russian maps at the time of the
cession of the Territory to the United
States in 1868. and has been treated
as American territory ever since. Can
ada replied that formal protests had
been made against this occupations;
but not until the gold discoveries had
it been necessary to take more ener-
getic action, especially in view of the
great cost of delimitation.
Protracted diplomatic negotiations
took place between London and Wash

for modus vivendi was come to

REVIEW OF THE DISPUTE.
In May, 1898, an Anglo-American
commission was appointed for the pur-
pose of settling all controversies ex-
listing between Great Britain and the
United States. The questions which
had to be dealt with were varied, in
Guiding, as they did, fisheries ques-
lions, mining questions. alien labor
questions and the matter Of the delim-
itation of the Alaskan boundary. a
difference of opinion existed as to the
exact boundary line between Alaska
and Canada, so far as the strip Of
country running down the coast from
Mt. st. Elias to the south end of Prince
of Wales island was concerned. The
boundary had been agreed to before
the purchase of the territory by the
United States, in the Russo-Britlsn
treaty of 1925, and the main conten-
ton was whether the word ocean
in the treaty meant the inclusion Of
the water inside the islands, as the
Americans commended, or to be limited
to the high seas outside them, as the
Canadians commended. The import
ance of this was obvious from the fact
that the treaty provided that the boun-
dairy line should run a distance of
ten marine leagues or thirty miles
from the ocean,
