STRONG SERMONS

The gospel sermon preached by
the Rev A f. Wardner Of Nowata,
at the First Presbyterian church last
night was without doubt one of the
most forceful discourses heard i'll
Guthrie since the days Of some OF
the big union revivals While Dr.
Wardner does not claim 10 be an
evangelist in the common accepta-
tion of the term, he certainly has
the faculty for pressing the truth Of
his message home TO the hearts OF
his hearers in very forcetul man
uer The sermon was directed more
especially to the church members Of
today and the Inconsistencies in the
lives of some modern ~rofessed
Christians were very strikingly por-
trayed
Consistent Christianity is the hope
of the world said Dr. Wardner The
world is watching the professor to-
day TO see if he is making good at
the job Of being IA Christian
The afternoon topic today is The
Greatest Work in the World " Night
topic: "Fightng a Winning Fight "
Mrs Knshton will play Count

Is YEARS MORE IN ARCTIC
Stefansson to Learn More of
Race He Discovered.

Tacoma. Wash, Sept 10.-Vihiamas
Stefansson. rosy faced and strong. after
five years in Arctic wilds. starts tonight
for New York 10 compile his scientific
data into readable form. after which he
will return to the Arctic region by way OF
Edmonton trail and the Mackenzie River
He has planned 10 devote twenty years TO
Arctic exploration. and has stll fifteen
years work ahead. He believes he will be
able to learn much more about the print
tive white race he discovered before trad
ers and Others reach their habitation and
corrupt them.
Every attempt TO lead Stefansson into
talking OF hard3hips OF the Arctic region
has brought forth this answer: There
are no hardships.'
During his five years in the Arctic
region 5tefansson's rife brought down
nearly sixty tons OF meat. During that
time he travelled on foot ten thousand
miles. or twenty miles for every one
travelled by Amundsen, Peary or other
explorers. anu mapped large portions Of
the country. Maps OF the top Of the
world. he says. are grossly inaccurate
Rivers which are marked on charts have
no existence and mountain ranges ap-
pear where the country should be nat.
He found Amundsen's maps generally
correct.
