Is it any wonder that we are enthusiastic over the prospect Of a new lighting system when the powerthat has been flowing past for years is tobe harnesSed?
 All this time it has been here waiting to be used but because the church withheld the two thousand dollars needed to turn the 'powerinto light we have been compelled to expend much more of her money and much more labor foc a poor quality of light. What an illustration this is of the human way ofdoingl An all wise Creator has placed the pow CT of knowledge within reach ot all. yet many wear themselves out in dark ignorance ratherthan put forth the required effort at an opportune time to grasp the power that will give light. A divine Saviour has offered par don to a sinful world and power to live a clean, strong life but ,,,,,1t;trdaS even of those who believe in Him, wear their lives out fighting their own sins in darkness rather than simply to lay them at His feet and to take the power offered and live in the light. We of the Sitka Training Schoolrejoice that the Presbyterl- an Church through the Woman's Board of Home Missions has made it possible for us tOproceed to use the power so long at hand to drive our dynamo and shop machinery. We believethat de- creased labor in securing physi- cal light will enable US to be of greater efficiency in continuing the service our school has al- ways endeavored to render-that of leading the native people Of Alaska to know and to use the Power that turns them from darkness into mental, and nor al and spiritual light.
