NAL man TO be through cruel gate. And
yet the testimony of physicians is to the
contrary. A member of this profession
writes in the Outlook of the "cheerfulness
of DEATH" and repeats what has been said
many times before, that the process of
dying is rarely painful to the patient, full Of
sorrow though 1t may be TO his family.
Kindly nature furnishes an anaesthetic
and a placid inconsistencies or an indif-
ference steals over the passing at the
last. Even the labored breathing and 9TH
er signs of distress do not mean suffering.
The Christian world processes to believe in
the spiritual rewards of the next stage Of
existence. If it could accept the truth that
the release of the soul from the body is
unattended by pain great dread of death
might be removed and some of the gloom
be lifted from those whose beloved are
taken. AS 1t is now, whether the Christians
faith is a hollow mockery or whether the
selfish sorrow of parting overcomes all
gladness for the one who has entered the
heavenly gates he mourns as one without
hope. If his religion is a live thing the
IHOuTueT SnOuJu overcome MS gfleI at sep
aration, which cannot be long in any life,
and rejoice over the departure of the dear
one into paths of eternal joy. Instead, he
wears the symbols of woe and his funeral
services are sad and depressing to the last
degree. The words of hope and the sacred
promises fall apparently without weight:
the hymns which should be inspiring, which
are often so when read. are sung to music
that walls This should not be so. We
should have the courage Of our religion,
we should prove our faith at it's extreme
test If death is glad, as we are taught,
and as we profess to believe, then its songs
should be those Of gladness and triumph.
Its associations should not be those of mis-
cry and despair, but of joy. He who turn
eth the shadow of death into the morning"
can only do when His people lift their
eyes to the sun above the mountain top
and refuse to sit in darkness.

The proposition to call the Episcopal
Church in this country the Church of
America, to distinguish it from the Church
of England, which has been brought up
again in the Pan-American Conference Of
Bishops, will give rise anew to the criticism
that this denomination would be assum-
ing too much-a sort OF superiority or prec-
edence over other Protestant sects-by
naming itself 1.-The American" Church.
This objection, which was put forward with
considerable vigor a year so ago when
the question was up for consideration, is not
we'll based. To give the church that name
would not give it here the place the English
church has in England; it would merely
separate it in title from that church, which
is the purpose intended. and no harm done.
What's in a name, anyway? There is that
very excellent religious body, for instance.
which calls itself 1.-The Christian Church"
No one supposes for an instant that it's
leaders claim for it all the Christianity
afioat, and no one should suspect the Epis-
copalians of wishing to take undue ad-
vantage or prominence through a mere title.

was given at the Coates House. The
governor and his wife were the guests
of honor.
Governor Bailey said today: 81 think
the maneuvers were magnificent and
the problems studied were real as real

own state ought to increase the inter-

crease the number of companies and the
strength of the national guard, and
many applications from towns wanting
militia companies will likely be- the re-

HISTORY OF THE CoNTRovERsY

Inc following history of the Alaska
boundary dispute 10 compiled by the
Hartford Courant:
Inc Dominion of Canada possesses
about 500 miles of coast line on the
Pacific ocean. This Canadian coast
line on the Pacific stretches from our
state of Washington north to the
southern end of Prince of Wales island
and Portland channel. Canada wished
to extend this coast line stiu further
north, for a distance of about $50 miles
from Portland channel to Mount ST
Elias. It was this wish of Canada that
made the Alaskan boundary question.
Canada did not discover it's wish in
this matter until gold was discovered
IN the Klondike region But the Eng
ishmen concerned in the Hudson Bay
company had the same wish much ear
her. At that time Alaska belonged TO
Russia and there was Russian Amer
lean Fur company trading along this
northern stretch of coast line. These
English and Russian fur traders had
disputes with one another, and the
Russian government was energetic and
hrm in maintaining the territorial
rights of her traders. Without a strip
OF land on the coast of the continent
from Portland channel the Russian
foreign office said, the Russian estab-
hshments on the adjoining islands
would be left at the mercy of those
establishments which foreigners might
form on the mainland Sir Charles
Bagot, the British agent, proposed va
r1ous plans that would have let the
Hudson Bay people through to the
ocean, but all his efforts failed. STRAIT
ford Canning was then placed in
charge of the negotiations.
The negotiations ended in the treaty
of 1925 which definitely marked the
limit between the Russian and British
possessions on continental northwest
America Russia continued to hold
and exercise all her rights within the
limit thus agreed upon from 1925 until
1867, when Alaska was bought nv the
United States. During that period of
nearly half a century all the chart
