ALAsKA's GOVERNOR.
John C. Brady Once Missionary-His
Actions Criticised,

Actions Criticised.
A recent dispatch from Alaska calls at
tention to the fact. perhaps not generally
known, that Governor John C. Brady OF
that territory was once street waif and
later missionary. Says the report:
Governor Brady's biography reads almost
like romance. His parentage Is unknown.
He was picked up a homeless waif on
the streets of New York, where he sold
papers. and adopted by man named
Brady, whose name he took. He secured
university education by his own efforts
studied law, entered the ministry and went
to Alaska fifteen years ago as a mission
airy. When Mckinley became President
tthe missionary influence at Alaska pre-
dominated at Washington, and Brady was
chosen governor. He is now serving his
ninth year. In his reports he has devoted
much attention to missionary work, the
schools, the native tribes and -heir welfare,
hut very little to the important mining and
industrial undertakings.
For several months Gov. Brady has been
under cross-fire of criticism, accusation and
ugly rumor. Last spring, while President
Roosevelt was considering the matter OF
reappofnting him. these complaints and
charges were brought to his attention In an
effort to defeat the appointment That this
effort was not successful was due to the
powerful influence at Washington Of the
Presbyterian board of missions, under the
direction of which organization Governor
Brady first went to Alaska as missionary
1t was the missionary influence which se-
cured him the appointment as governor
eight years ago. reappointment In the face
of strong opposition four years ego. ana
again last spring.
One OF the charges made against Gov.
ernor Brady Is that he Is unprogressive.
has no sympathy with the efforts OF big
capitalistic interests to develop the district
along modern lines, and exerts his influence
chiefly In an effort to retain Alaska for tho
benefit Of the degenerate and decaylng ma

The Lesson.
It is the glory of the Christian religion
that 1t has introduced into the world the
idea Of the fatherhood OF God. and the
related idea. which must necessarily fol-
low where the first is believed, Of the
brotherhood of man. For II we are in
truth the sons of God" as we are given
the right to believe, then "alI We are
brethren" That it ts true that this grand
idea, which. more than any other single
force, has lifted and Is lifting the whole
wcrld from the slough Of s1oth and dog
radiation and despair. that 1t is true that
this was the gift of Christianity to fha
