GODS PART LEADING MEN
Large Audience Hears Last Nights
First Baptist Sermon.

First Baptist Sermon.
The meetings yesterday. both of
which were regarded as parts Of the
evangelistic campaign now being con-
Quoted at the First Baptist church,
were we'll attended and the centers of
much interest The morning topic was
Jesus as the Lamb of God" and the
evening theme was Gods Part in
Leading to Conviction for Sin" De-
spite the storm, one of the largest au-
diences yet assembled at these meet
iEgs was present and the interest
deepened with every moment. The pas
tor took his text from John GA, where
Jesus says mo man can come to Me
except the Father which sent Me draw
him" "a man cannot become a Chris
tian just whenever he chooses" Dr..
Reed said. 1T is just as possible for
me to become the heir of some wealthy
man whenever l take the notion. But
such a desire never was yet success
full. II is not for me to decide to be
the heir of the rich man. but it is his
privilege 10 decide who shall inherit
his money. When God calls us to give
ourselves to Him. He impresses on US
the thought Of our sin and leads US to
desire to become His follower. Such a
desire never arises naturally in the
human heart, and when IT is felt il is
sure evidence that God is drawing the
soul TO Himself, and that there is a
warm welcome awaiting his coming"
The topic for the meeting this even
ing will be God Leading Men to Re
pentance."

A DOUGLAS CLUB

The Sourdough wishes to propose the organization of a Douglas club.
 A year or two ago, there was organ azed here, an organization known as the Douglas Island Mems club. It was in many ways success while it lasted. Its first meeting was especially success ful. It gave dinner, and following the dinner, there were toasts by the governor and number of Douglas men. There is no question but that it was thoroughly enjoyed.
 The completion of the Alaska Labor Union ball will give Douglas island an excellent place to hold such meetings Its banquet room is amply large for such purpose. Such an organization should combine the features of Com mercial club, and would undoubtedly get the business men of Douglas, and the boys from Treadwell together once a month It is idle to say that com mercial club is not helpful in a growing town, and where one is a success, it is combined with some feature of this kind.
The Alaska sourdough., 1911-10-10
ALASKA-HOME

The Sourdough does not altogether agree with all that Rev. G. N. Ed wards says in his sermon printed on the first page of this paper, but he is in full sympathy with any effort to make Douglas "a home town.
 Many people do not realize that Al =aska has come to stay. Douglas will, in all human probability be a thriving town, when most of us have gone, not below but above. The idea of regard ing the place as temporary, IS too much of a fad. It is as permanent com munity as Butte, Montana, and prob ably Seattle. In every Alaska town, more or less, there is too much thought of grabbing money and getting away, instead of making better place to live out what is, in many respects, the best place on earth.
 Except to "mollycoddles r Alaska has climate which is, for the most part, capable of being thoroughly en- joyed. There are, it is true several days in every winter when only the hardest enjoy the out of doors, but they are but few. At it's best, for thousands of men and women who are yet to come, Alaska has, most of the for those whose ideal of life includes a hammock and palm leaf fan, to realize 1t.
 There is more fun in a cold winter than in warm one, if one knows how to enjoy it. The first requisite, of course, is good house in which to live. Already in Ketchikan, they are begin ming to build houses of concrete, and the Sourdough confidently looks for ward to time in the immediate flu sure when concrete, instead of our wet and shrinking frame houses, will be the rule with new houses in all thriving Al aska towns.
 Good houses will pay in. Douglas, as well as anywhere else in the. world. A good house, built for a real home, is , an excellent investment. This is a country in which freplaces should be the rule, and because the winter even ings are especially long, houses should be especially cozy and comfortable. Houses built in Douglas, or any other Alaska town where the future is as sure as it is here. should be built to last long time, whether the builder expects to remain a short or long time. It is a safe assertion to make that no one who has built house in Douglas and then sold out and went below, has lost money on the Investment.

DULUTH UNION LABOR
ENJOYS new REVIVAL
Building Trades Council Commit
tee Wins Honors-Gives a
Splendid Entertainment.
Many Prominent Men Speak.
Mcnamara Crimes Condemned.
Council In Fine Shape.

One Of the biggest. most enthusi-
astlc thoroughly profitable labor
meetings ever held at he Head of the
Lakes took place Thursday evening
of last week at the Bricklayers' hall,
Nineteenth avenue west and Superior
street.
1t was an open meeting of the
Building trades council and many
took advantage of the opportunity to
attend. There were stirring and op
perfume speeches on the live labor
questions of the day, cigars were
passed, there was a fine program of
music by the Svea Glee club and a
most satisfactory evening ended with
refreshments.
William Murnian Of the Electrical
Workers union presided
j. H. Baker told those assembled
of the early days of unionism in Du-
luth. Mr.. Baker has been a member
of his union since 1856. He is a
carpenter and is and always has been,
untiring in his efforts to aid organi-
cation in all branches of labor.
Hugh Todd of the Bricklyaers'
union, who has been a member for
"a years and is proud of it, in a neat
little speech, told of how in his opin-
ion the days of strikes and boycotts
are over. The men and the employ
ers can get together these days and
What is the way it should be-" he
said.
William Towner, secretary of the
Bricklayers' State conference, joined
his union in 1876. In a stirring talk
he stated that it is time for union
men of all branches to get together
and pull together.
Richard Jones, former president of
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1911-12-16

the trades assembly told some good
stories that got under the mems
hides in good shape. Dick has a
happy faculty of tickling from be-
hind and his talks are always ap-
preciated. In a burst of enthusiasm
for unions and the union cause, he
ended up with the statement that the
Mcnamara cases will not hurt or
gained labor
"Unionism is built on solid rock
and it will take more than a. mere
flutter to shade it," he said.
George Allen of Superior repre-
sented the Superior Trades council
at the meeting. He advocated a.
closer relationship between the labor
organizations of Duluth and Superior
and stated that he believed that the
McNamaras were in the employ of
capitalists . -
The Svea Glee club rendered sew
eral delightful numbers during the
evening. The club is led by Chris
Walin, prominent member of the
Plumbers union.
w. E. McEwen delivered a lengthy
address, most ,aof which was pub
lished in the last issue.
The meeting was the best held at
the Head Of the Lakes in a long time.

GOVERNORS VETO DID
NOT KILL s HOUR BILL

BEAUMONT, Tex. Dec. 14.-An g.
hour bill was passed in the closing
days of the last legislature. together
with mass of other bills
Under the state law the governor
has to act within twenty days after
the adjournment on all measures or
they become law.
A large number Of these bills the
governor vetoed, among them the
eight-hour bill.
The governor did not count Sundays
in the twenty days allowed, and in
action before the supreme court that
judicial body decided that Sundays
must be reckoned in computing the
twenty days. ,
As a result the S-hour law has been
saved.
