ISOLATION of St. Marks church, was
packed Thursday at the home of Mrs.

way, and will reach that far away mis-
sion post in the Arctic Circle, "St Johns

The mission is in charge of two devot-
ed consecrated women of the Episcopal
church, Miss Carter and Miss Heintz,
who perform the manifold duties OF
teaching and preaching, as well as min
isterii1g to the sick. They are eighty
miles from any post, and in this remote
and desolate region they are doing
Gods service with praise and thanks
giving on their lips. Two or three
times year the mission is visited by
Dean Stuck who travels from 'spil1ar to
pos" giving bodily as well as spiritual
aid and comfort Then the great and
good Bishop Rowe goes his rounds in
this i1lhospitable land leaving blessings
where he tarries, and so Gods work is
being done Those of US who lead
lives of slothful east should feel the
deep sting of neglected opportunities in
not giving more generously to those
who are enduring trials untold and
hardships that the lives of others may
be lifted up, the kingdom of God
brought into their homes and ignorance

Why the Paper Keeps Coming.

Some people wonder why we con-
tinue to send them The Star after their
subscription date expires. Every
weekly newspaper in towns the size
Of Dolores is forced to do this. Should
we stop subscriptions when the time
expiers, nine times out Of ten the sub
scriher would give US ''calling down"
for insinuating that his credit was not
good. Rather than cast reflection on
the honesty Of a subscriber to pay q
small debt, 1t IL next to a necessity for
home paper to con ntinue sending the
paper after the time has expired. 1t is
not necessary for the city dailies or
weekIies to follow this rule, as their
subscribers live at a distance and are
not personal friends as Is the case with
majority of our subscribers. Our sub
scribers should deem 1t an honor to
know that we do not doubt their in
tegrity and continue to send them the
paper after the time has expired.
Should any desire their paper discon-
tinued, they should notify us and
remit to date II they have not already
done so. If the subscriber informs us
when he subscribes that be wants the
paper only till his subscription expires
it will be stopped at that time without
further notice, otherwise 1t will be sent
until he is one year in arrear at which
time the ruling of the pOstOffice de-
partment compels to stop 1t.
