ed at home. Not all the study of ap-
proved methods of leading men tc
Christ can count for as much as n
vital experience of Christ. The heart
overlooking with love to Him testifles
most effectively. AS say the familiar
lines:
Thou must be true thyself, ere thou
the truth canst teach;
Thy Heart must overflow ere thu
another's heart canst reach;
1t needs the overflow of heart to give
the lips full speech"
One of the familiar anecdotes that
never will outlive it's usefulness relates
how an inconsistent man was giving
testimony in a prayer meeting. The
preacher interrupted him with, Loud

Some persons simply cannot make
speeches or give public testimony in
words, or talk to strangers about the
faith that is so dear and deep in their
hearts. But a timely book or leaflet
or poem serve the same end. Testi-
mOny may be borne by a silence, by a
tear, by a handclasp, by a look. All
of life becomes vocal with the witness
to Christ when the heart is aflame
with love to Him.
Overstated testimony hurts rather
than helps a cause. They who speak
for Christ must be careful not to
speak beyond that which they know.

Seal Hunters Jobs
Destroyed BY treaty

The qusdrilateral treaty for the pro-
lection of seals in the North Pacific
and Boring sea was made effective by
the exchange of notifications Dec. Il,
the parties to the treaty being Great
Britain, Russia, Japan and the United
States. Under this treaty pelagic seal
ing is to terminate and the taking OF
fur seals will be regulated by the four
governments.
One effect of the treaty is the taking
away of the occupation of Al Canadian
sealing schooners now at anchor In
Esquimalt harbor, British Columbia.
The owners have put in claim Of
$3.50, 900 for compensation. The claim
will be cut down materially. Probably
tho sealers will be converted into fish
ing vessels.
Twelve years ago the United States,
through its members OF the joint high
commission considering the seal indus
try. offered the owners of IS Victoria
Iditarod pioneer., 1912-02-24

schooners S450,000 if they would go into
some other business, retaining their
vessels. The japanese seal hunters,
1000 in number, have petitioned par
lament 10 give them 3,750 each, or
50, 750, 600 in all, for taking away their
means of earning livelihood. This is
aside from the claims made by the
owners of vessels.
A TOXIC paper in November an
nounced that the Japanese government,
after counting the seals on Arazashi
islet, would permit the killing of $50
head next season. Part of the money
obtained for the skins will go toward
compromising japanese sealers. Sim
ilarly 30 per cent. of the value of such
seals as are killed on the American
rookeries will be paid the Japanese and
Canadian sealers.

McGoyern objected, saying it was
not recorded anywhere in party his
tory who're a Republican meeting had
instructed in favor OF an anti-Repub-
lican candidate. H. NJ. Keys agreed
with McGovern, saying such q pro-
ceeding would be utterly unprece-
deuted and out of order.
Chairman HoXsie said he did not
want to be tied, and did not want dis
sessions introduced in the meeting.
Mir Nerland said the delegates were
elected first and it would be unfair to
impose such conditions on them after

There was much sparring, without
very much disgruntlement, ard the
matter rested without coming to a final

LIVELY MEETING
o. RIEpUBL,L!CALLHElS|j

That was a bully little Republican
meeting held at the Budweiser parlors
Tuesday night. To the uninitiated it
presented surprises: T4fl's name was
not mentioned, while Roosevelt's was
applauded; the Hoggatt Shackleford
machine was scored, while Delegate
Wickersham was lauded. 1t was Re-
publican meeting, but more practical
good sense than partisanship marked
the deliberations.
Judge A. E. Maltby briefly stated the
objects of the meeting, hen Charlas
doxsie was chosen as chairman and
Is dore Goldstein secretary.
The first business was the selection
Of delegates to the territorial conven-
ton. Charles WOrden, A. Z. Mlltby,
Andrew Nerland Sam Bsyles and F. A.
Cleveland we're placed in nomination,
Ind balloting resulted in the election
IF Worden. Maltby and Nerland. The
delegates are uninstructed.
j, r. McGovern suggested that the
delegates send their proxies to Fair
banks, blank, TO be voted by Fairbanks
delegates, ard counted with the major
tty vote Of the convention. Not know
ing who the candidates may be, he
would have the delegates unpledgea
either for delegate or for President.
Chairman Hoxsie said it would be
practical to send proxies to Fairbanks
0 be voted by the delegates from
here, thus recognizing the unity of
interest between the Tanana and the
[ditarod. He said everybody should
vote and take an interest in the affairs
Of the territory-or else refrain from
kicks and criticisms; that good dele
gate to congress should be elected and
then listened to and supported. Mr..
Hoxsie said he would be willing to sup
port such man regardless Of party;
he would prefer to have the best man
nominated; failing in that, the party
would have poor excuse for complaint
if the nominee is repudiated.
BayIes Wanted to Know
Seeing the drift OF the chairman's
remarks, Sam Bayles hurled the thun-
derbolt that was destined to clear the
atmosphere when he said: 81 want to
ask if this is a gathering of G. 0. p.
standpatters or of insurgents?"
The chairman said he hoped that
matter would not be gone into. Get a
good mana broad man-one in favor
of an elected legislature, he advised,
and he hoped the Cordova convention
would look at it this way, too.
Here Tommy McSmart INTERCEPTED a
protest against voting the Iditarod
proxies with the majority as had been
suggested by Mr.. McGovern. The
chairman thought the delegates will
use good judgment in giving their
proxies if they cannot go themselves.
Here James Wilson entered the room
and Mr.. McGovern suggested that as
