All Obligations.

by, district superintendent DR.. 5. G.
Bronson of Carrot Biblical institute,
Chicago, delivered the sermons at
both morning and evening services.
The subject of the morning sermon
was The Relation of the Church to
the Community" In delivering this
subject DR.. Bronson pointed out five
characteristics of the early church as
revealed in the first part of the Book
of Acts: Evangelism, beautiful COM
munal life, benevolence and fraternal-
ism, healing ministry. and safeguard
ing Of religious reality.
The Social Program Of the
Church." was the subject of the even
ing sermon. DR.. Bronson outlined
this program as follows:
Extension of privileges; equal rights
to all; a living wage; safe guarding of
life and health; best division of pro-
ducts Of industry that can be devised.
The preacher pointed out that, in
the industrial world lives seem cheap
er than dividends and declared that
the church can not sit by and keep
silent. Its program, he said, seeks ad-
vancement, not final solution of the
industrial and social programs. The
church is not working for ends but
for progress, he said.

Fears Are Entertained That Gener-' --s '.' it. '-. tfai al Strike Will be Called to Help

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 21.-The strike situation here is growing more serious and is causing the govern ment considerable alarm. Many workmen have been arrested for en- gazing in rioting and encounters be- tween the strikers and police are of daily occurrence.
 Business of all kinds is prostrat- ed and there is little hope of an immediate settlement. as the ranks of the strikers are being augmented by dissatisfied workmen from every trade. A general sympathetic strike isa4hreatened to enable the railroad employees to enforce their demands The freight handlers have refused to unload cars which were hauled by non-union train crews and teamsters have notified their employers that tlle the freight.
 The demoralized condition of traf- tic has caused many factories to close, throwing thousands of work men out of employment, who have joined the ranks of the strikers. Up to the present the police have had little difficulty in Keeping order, but as the ranks of the strikers continue to grow the situation grows more serious and acts of lawlessness more frequent.

CLOSED SEASON
 |S EXTENDED
Order Issued Protecting Sea Otter in Afognak Island Reserve for
 Three More Years

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The de- pertinent has issued an order which changes the term of years during which the taking of sea otter near Afognak island, Alaska, is prohibit ed. Under the old order the otter were protected until 1915 but the time has now been extended until 1918.
 In past years there were many of these valuable animals killed ev- cry season and they are now nearly extinct. The government hopes that by extending the closed season they may again become more plentiful. The island was formerly the home of great numbers Of sea otter but they were killed off by native hunt CTS. Many trading companies sent out schooners outftted with native hunters, who were paid big prices for the skins. The price of the fur has increased enormously and many of the traders were preparing for the opening season, when they expected to realize big profits from the busi- ness.

 Many of the prisoners had form erly been in the ranks of the rebels and had deserted to join the federals because they were offered positions as officers. They had accepted the chances and had suffered the fate of traitors to the cause. He believed the rebellion would soon be SUD- pressed by the rebels being able to overthrow the federalists, if it were not for the fact that most of the soldiers cared little for which side they were fighting.

BIRDS DIED BY
 THE THOUSAND

FAIRBANkS.-That birds of all kinds died by the thousands in the Totatlanika country during the severe snow storm of August, is the report of James Haney, the we'll known To- cal mining man and prospecior, who arrived several days ago. The snow fell in the mountains and in the foot hills to $; depth oftwo or more feet and drove all the summer birds away, many robins perishing in the cold and snow before they were able to hie themselves to more southern climes. Ptarmigan being the most numer- ous, many more of them died than of other kinds of birds, although a number of dead grouse of all kinds were also seen by the prospector. At the time of year when the storm oc. cured. the winter food of the deni- zens of the forest was not yet ripe and it is thought they died from star vation, although it is also probable that some of them succumbed with cold on account of the fact that they were not fully feathered for the win ter.
 Concerning the sheep in. the To tatlanika district. MT. Haney states that great number of young lambs perished in the storm. The sheep: both young s.Aassid. were s4fiysni s M of the high mcuntains during the biis gard, their food being obtainable on ly in, the lowlands and creeks of the country -"

FISH COVERED WITH FUR
 DISCOVERED IN ARCTIC

Boston, Mass-Polar trout, the on ly fur-bearing fish known to natural history, is the latest contribution of the Arctic regions, according to John Bunker, of Northwood Center, N. C., who has reached Boston from two months exploring trip in Greenland. He brought photographs and actual specimens Of the strange fish, which he has called polar trout This pe- culiar denizen of the polar regions resembles square tail trout in shape and gameness, and reaches ten to fifteen pounds in weight. The skin is covered with a hne brownish fur, the texture of moleskin. This fur. is slightly spotted with white, .as is young seal in the spring. Bunker says this fact led him to call the curiosity a polar trout. Bunker caught in all three specimens, two in a river and one in small headwater pond, about 200 miles north of Baffin's bay.

STORE MAIL

Commercial Club Would Help Cant Run and Never Wilr
 Road to Beat Contract

A recent Fairbanks paper tells of the efforts soon to be made by the Fairbanks Commercial Club to have the second-class mail stored at Chiti- ma in place of being held at Cordova.
 The reason for the request, says the News Miner. is that the Coppe: River X Northwestern railroad is ire quently blocked to such an extent that the mails do not get through to Chitina for weeks, whereas, if the mail was all brought to Chitina in place of lying at Cordova, the stages could bring their limit each time, re- gardless Of whether or not the rail road was closed to operation. It is stated that building for storing the mail at Chitina has been offered to tic government free of charge by the railroad company.
