and il alone, meets the. deepest
spiritual and ethical needs of the hui
man heart.
The natural tendency of man is TO
make his gods in his own image. A
searching question concerning a per-
sons faith is this one: "Is your God
a little God or a great God?" Even
within Christianity We notice occa-
sional efforts to reduce God to man
size. Only yesterday heard a dema-
gogue addressing a Christian Endeav-
or convention, who, with flippancy
and cynical "smartness' appeared to
be bent on reducing the Infinite
Jehovah to the level of a clay manikin
on Chinese god-shelf. The ineffa-
bic glory and grandeur and greatness
of God is the supreme article of the
Christian religion.

what We may call the geographical
consequences IF the present war will
be very great. Among them will be
the opening of the Near East to the
western world. Where there used to
be one traveller to Bible lands. there
will be Il hundred. l do not dwell
upon Zionism, and The present plans
1t Is making for the devout Jews of the
world after the war. With peace, and
the complete overthrow of the Turk
ish empire without which any peace
would be premature), order and safety
will come to these places of sacred
memory
Then We may look forward to pill
grinages over the scenes of Paul's
labors. Sunday school students by
the thousands will visit the six cities
studied during TIE last three months
the ruins of old Phillipi. where Paul
established the first church in Europe;
romantic Salonica, or Thessalonica
its ancient religious significance;
Athens. always . world capital, and
still a shrine for lovers of beauty and
history; the little city on the isthmus
that was old Corinth; Ephesus. per-
haps the most interesting of all the
ruined cities of earth; and everything
Jerusalem. home of the hearts of a
host of friends of God. Step by step,
We may go over Paul's experiences.
The geography of the journey will
illumine the inspired narrative. And
as we study. there will emerge a new
conviction of the power of the Per-
sonality behind history; and we shall
get new conception of the living
truth that God cares for His own; and
that no man who lives for Him and
works for Him is ever a failure.

Homes for working people Is ques- ton in Gastineau channel cities just now. It Is interesting to note that the character of the workmen coming to Alaska has undergone a radical change in the last half a dozen years. For merly most of them were single men, who were content to live in 4x6 room with bunk in 1t. Most of them were foreigners, who took little or no inter- est in churches, schools or even bath tubs. But now the families are coming
 An indication of the extent of the change Is found in the fact that the Treadwell company has recently cut up one of It's large boarding houses into flats for families. This has af- forded temporary relief on Douglas Island, but 1t Is only temporary. An other encouraging feature Is that many are seeking to own their homes, an indication of their intention to be- come permanent residents. The price of lots in Douglas has more than dou- bled in the past two years. Home building continued all through the

LETTER FROM MIR. ROCHE.

Dear Editor state in the
columns of your valuable paper that
some young men from the city were
hunting on my lands few nights ago
and caught my pet thirteen pound
'possum. My lands are advertised,
and the thirteen pound 'possum was
a great favorite of mine, and I am
very much grieved at the way have
been treated. If these young men
will see me at once with the proper
credentials I may overlook this
seeming discourtesy, especially if the
'possum is returned unhurt. Unless
they do, 1 would like to see you in
your law office on next Saturday at
$50 P. M.
Yours truly,
Patrick Roche.
