Government Uncle Sam paid out a Good To little more than 80 to Citizens allow five persons to
 vote at Nenana, which shows that the rights of a citizen to vote is considered of much i'm portance by the federal government.
 According to the returns received here, there were only five votes for delegate cast at Nenana which is taken to mean that amount was all that voted there. Probably many more could have voted, had they taken the trouble to do so but the fact remains that it cost the gov ernment the expense of maintaining one voting booth for a day to per init five people to vote.
 There are three election judges. each of whom is paid by the gov ernment s10 for the days work There are other minor expenses, but those are not definitely known.
 It is probable that the United States would go to even much more expense in order to let man have the chance to exercise his citizenship rights.

Text, Matt. 16: 10, al will give unto
hee keyes of the kingdom of heaven. "
He brought out the fact that man s
heart is the kingdom, and the gospels
are the keys which unloeks the door
of the heart. He said Christ never
gave Peter the keys of death and hell,
so the binding and lOosing on earth
and in heaven shows God sanctions the
Apostles doctrines binding and loOs-
ing under the apostles were more than
it is under our Christian power. Peter
bound Simon, Paul bound James and
Jambus. 1t was the remission and
retention of sin by the apostles as
Christ gave them that Paul says I have
delivered such a one to Satan. Power
given and when he had said this, he
breathed on them, and said, receive
ye the Holy Spirit, whatsoever sins ye
remit, they are RENTED unto them,
and whatsoever sins ye retain thy are
