The pulpit Of the First Presbyterian
Church was occupied yesterday morning by

Mission of the Church was DIR. Neely's
subject. and his text was Col. i:28.
said:
THE union of church and state, wherever
attempted. has proved unfortunate. 1t has
political branch of the union. but always
In the secularization of the religious eIe-
ment. The union of church and state under
Constantine the Great. In the fourth CEN
fury. which lasted for nearly $50 years,
was fraught with disaster. The churches
were filled with soldiers. whose thoughts
were more filled with conquest on the
bloody battlefield than of the conquest of
souls for heaven. men whose minds were
OCCUPIED with widening the boundaries of
the empire. rather than spreading the
gospel Of Christ
THE church cannot be the commander
in chief of the armies of the world. The
church appeals not to strength of arms,
too often is like one crying In the midst OF
tumult whose voice is not heard, or, II
heard. not needed
Our mission Is not only to arouse but
to displace. To find the world In the heart
OF man and then to drive 1t out. This
work is impossible apart from the spirit OF
the living God. We cannot prevail by using
the methods Of the world. the chariatan

WORK OF SIGNAL CORPS
ESTABLISHMENT OF A TELE-
GRAPH SYSTEM IN ALASKA.
Longest Wireless Section in the World
Connecting the Philip
pine Islands.

Cen Greedy, chief signal officer OF thu
army. in his annual report. gives an in
teresting account of the work performed
by his corps in establishing an ali-Amer-
lean telegraphic system in Alaska. saying
the undertaking Is unique In the annals
of Geographic engineering. The cables
used in the Alaskan system would reach
from Newfoundland to Ireland. and the
land lines from Washington to Texas,
there being 2O79 miles of cable. 1.43e
miles of land lines and lot miles or
wireless lines. Gen. Greedy says the
United States has brought southeastern
Alaska. the Yukon valley and the Boring
straits region into Geographic communi-
cation with the rest of the civilized world.
A selected force of men. he says. has been
so trained that today the Signal Corps OF
the army is competent to operate in war
emergency a submarine cable OF any
length. Repairs in Alaska are main
tained." the report says. by parties sta
toned at log cabins about forty miles
apart, one Signal Corps repairman with
two assistants from the line of the army
and dog team being at each cabin. The
men meet the terrible conditions of hard
ship and privation uncomplainingly and
with fortitude characteristic of the Ameri-
can soldier.
The Nome wireless station has daily and
uninterruptedly transmitted the entire tele-
graphic business of Seward peninsula, five
thousand words being exchanged in one af-
ternoon between Safety Harbor and st.
Michael. The Signal Corps Of the army.
Gen. Greedy says. is now regularly operat-
ing the longest wireless section of any COM
mercial telegraphy system in the world.
Speaking of the Philippines. he says the
sixteen most important islands OF the ar
chipelago are now connected by cable.
which lines he adds. are recognized as in
dispensable both by the military and civil
authorities. The report says 1t is a matter
of the utmost importance that signalling
apparatus of suitable character be installed
at the more important military defenses
along the Atlantic and Pacific coast to per-
NIT of REORGANIZATION between the
army and the navy.
It is strongly urged in the report that
steps be taken by the United States to adj
here to the international telegraphy union
and that International regulations govern
wireless telegraphy in time Of war be
adopted
Speaking of the detail system, he says 1t
L. believed that while In many respects 1t
is valuable. in other ways It is not: that in
fact 1t previously failed In the Signal Corps.
where It was tried for twenty-five years.
