Christian missions are useless

RoMe, OF Alaska, in an address be-

op Powe stated that his sixteen
years experience as missionary work

worth while among these people

sources, history, and people Of Alas

cnccs and clear cut descriptions of
tho region above The Arctic. He
exploded the common belief that
Alaska is not an agricultural country
by saying that all important grains.
and agricultural products can be sue
cessfully grown there. Bishop
Rowe quotes tho director OF the en-
pertinent station OF Alaska as saying
that the products OF her soil could
feed three million people. His dc.
