came. He returned to Augustana col- lege, Rock Island, IT,, in Septem ber 1901. Rev. J. N. Sundquist then ac cepted a call Go Douglas and came here in August, 1901. He left here in the summer of 1902. In the summer of 1903 a lay preacher, Mir. J. A. Levin, begun his very important work here. He was ordained to the ministry in 1904. He began to build the Lutheran church at Douglas, July 23rd, 1904. He did a great deal of the work with his own hands. The building cost S2,363S3. or this sum the mission board con tributed sl,13O44, the Ladies' Aid s722 O2 and the rest was partly donated by Rev Levin and partly gathered by subscriptions here and all over the synod. When the church was fnished In 1905 the whole property was worth about S4,OOO. Rev. Levin continued his work here until October, 1907, Then the field was vacant till July the fol lowing year. Rev. c. E. Frisk, of Ia coma, visited Douglas once during this vacancy. In 1906 aud 1907 our mission suffered on account of that so many, not less than l3 families and many of ouy young people, moved away.
 In July, 1908, Rev. J. II. Warmanen and his family came here to take up the work. lie was able to serve also tue Finnish people in their own lan- guage. The beautiful hardwood pews in our church were put in in lolO A Young Peoples society was organized, but it did not exist very long. When Rev. Warmaueu came there was no parsonage, except two rooms in the church basement. This was not enough room for the family, SO he set about to build a parsonage in the form of an ad dition Co the church building The ad dnion cost S25436O This sam he gathered by subscriptions and gifts, and by the work of his own hauds In spite of great difficulties he continued his work until in October, 1913, when be moved to Seattle Then there was again a vacancy which lasted sixteen meeting months During this time Rev C. R. Swanson, from Vancouver, B. C., visited Douglas and preached here twice
 In 1914 the Mission Board called Rev. Martin L. Larson, of Seattle, to be its missionary in Douglas, Juneau, etc. He accepted tbe call and moved from Seattle to Douglas, arriving here Feb raary l4tb, 1915. There vas no church organized here when Rev. Larson came. We hope that our church now organ izad will grow in number, strength and usefulness aud in he grace of Jesus Christ. May the Scandinavian Luther. an people of our city unite themselves with OFT church and receive of the blessings which Sod has promised them who rally around the crcss of Jesus Christ, our blessed savior. May God iu his great mercy bless the Ev. Lutheran Immauuel church of Doug. las, Alaska. MARTIN L. LARSON.

 CHURCH ORGANIZED
 Thursday, July sth, 1915, was a happy day for Rev. Larson, the Lutheran missionary in Alaska. On that day the Ev. Lutheran Immauuel church, of Douglas, Alaska, was organized. It has membership of 6s adults and 69 chil- dreu. On the motion os the mayor of Douglas, Mr. Peter Johnson, the con- stitutiou recommended by the Angus lana Synod of North America was adopted.
 We will here give a short history of the work of the Lutheran Augustana Synod in Douglas. In the summer of 1000 Dr. s. P. A. Liudahl travelled in Alaska iu order to see what ought to be done in the way of missionary work there. ge fouud many Lutherans in Douglas end recommended thas a mis. sionary be stationed here. 4 student by the name of s. P. Holmberg was called and be arrived in DOGglas in Decemb mber, 1900. Our missionary work Was really started before that by Mir. A.. Forsberg, who was working for the Treadwell company. He held services among the Lutheran people. But when he was killed iu tue mine there was no one Go gather the people around the word of God before Mr. Holmberg
