In his sermon at the Presbyterian
church sunday morning, the pastor.
Rev Or. j. A. Burnett, took his
theme from the words in Genesis
24:63: Isaac went out 10 mediate
in the field at the eventide." from
which he painted an Interesting
word picture of what he termed "A
Lost Art" In the course of his re-
marks he said:
This is the story OF a lovers
evening meditation and is placed
here because il is so divinely hu-
man. 1t is the twilight quiet that
settles over the turbulence of life.
We know little Of Isaac excepting a
few incidents which are recorded.

The few gli.s2ses given Of the

such men in the world, those who

This picture is distinctively orr

Of life largely lost in these days of

Our Lives Are Superficial.
The need Of this lost art is es-
pecially great in religion. Our lives
are superficial: we are content with

our spiritual natures are not nOu-

strengthens our bodies; not what
we read that develops our minds;
not the sermons we hear that deep
ems the spiritual life, but we must
assimilate that which we receive.
and this is done in the secret pro-
cesses of our being.

Isaac Went Where God Was.
IT was in the field that Isaac med

Channel Athletics in Brief
(By M. S. Perkins,

Gastineau Channel. From the time the towns Of Juneau and Douglas | were first established there has been i intense baseball rivalry between them. --rr .-. From the first an annual series of games for the championship of the Channel was played between teams composed of the young men of the [ two towns. Afterward the Douglas team dropped out and a team com. posed of the employees of the Tread. well Mine took up the cudgels for the Island side of the Channel. The series of summer games have been continued until the present time. In 1913 Treadwen was the winner of the series, but Juneau turned the tables the following year, and in 1915 the Treadwell aggregation again won over their rivals by a margin of one game in fourteen game series.
 During the 1916 season baseball has been more or less disorganized. An attempt was made to organize a five team league on the channel, but, season. it was found impractical this summer. For that reason the base ball for the past season has been confined mostly to scattered games between teams from Treadwell, Doug. las. Thane Perseverance and Juneau.
 A series of games between teams from the Thane and Perseverance camps 0i the Alaska Gastineau Min ing Company resulted in a victory for the mine team, and they were awarded the handsome solid silver cup donated for the series by Charles Hayden, president Of the Alaska Gold Company. The Tread well and Douglas teams played a short series of games, resulting in a victory for the former and two games played between Treadwell and Jul neau resulted in a draw. each team winning one game.
 Next year it is very probable that at least five teams will be in the field and a regular series will be arranged. Each of the towns and camps to be represented had a team in the field this year and the nucleus for some excellent baseball; aggrcga- tons remains for the teams to be organized EeXt year.
 Next in importance to baseball come basketball anl bowling. With the advent of the Arctic Brotherhood Club in the sporting field at Juneau. q basketball rivalry was at once worked up. The Treadwcll Company athletic management has for a num- Der of years conducted a five team interdcpartment basketball series among their employees. with the team from the Mexican mine and the one from the Cyanide plant usually carrying off the honors. Last win. ter after the Mexican mine team had won the championship of the Tread

 their headquarters while travelling in Southeastern Alaska, and others for outside houses, who have no of- 1 flee here, but make Juneau their real home.

CASTlNEkU Channel with its O surrounding and closely allied
 towns and mining camps is the principal home of athletics in Alaska. Other par:s Of Alaska have their sports which are peculiar tc their locality. as the great, annual dog race at Nome. but nowhere else will the wealth of sporting blood and athletic material be found as among the Channel miners and residents. -..
 Nearly every kind of sport known Is indulged in on the Channel in the proper season. starting with baseball Tn the summer. running the gamut of tennis, rifle shooting, trap shoot. ing. football. handball, bowling. in. door water sports, boxing tourna. ments. basketball, and field sports held by the employees of the various large mining companies.
 Rosters of employees of big mining companies contain the names of many men who have made names for themselves on the athletic fields of colleges and universities in all parts of the United States, from the Universities of Washington and Cali. 1ornia, on the Pacific to Cornell, Yale and Harvard on the Atlantic sea coast. These men are holding rpSnnncihla ppc;t;ope ,hn ing companies of Alaska and they are a powerful factor for good clean sport on the Channel. Many of the younger ones among them still take an active part in the contests staged, while others content themselves with directing and managing the athletic attractions.
 The outlook for future sports on Gastineau Channel is particularly bright. For a time baseball had q tendency to drift towards profes. sionalism. but during the past sum. mer this has been stopped and no players were imported from the states for any team. The teams NOOh pdll were composed strictly of players resident in the town or mining camp which they represented. and the result was a. good naturcd. friendly, but spirited rivalry.
 With the advent of the Arctic DrotherhcCd Club in Juneau in the field during the winter of 1915. the prospect for winter sports for the future Is particularly bright. It is very probable that regular ontcsts in bDxiag. water carnivals and other indoor sports will be arranged be- tween the members of that club anI the members of the famous TrCal- Club. All sports held under the aus pices of either club are strictly anna teur and no taint of professionalism Is allowed to creep in.
 Without any question baseball takes the lead among the sports Of

trip from Unalaska. There were twenty-one passengers on the ship. and they were just sitting down to dinner when she struck. In speaking of the incident, recently. Mir. Caro- said: ''In my entire experience. have never seen an other such display of courage as was shown by those passengers In spite of the pounding of the ship upon the rocks. the fact that none of us had any knowledge as to the extent of the damage to the hull and the momentary danger of her sinking. with all on board, men. wo- men and children stuck to their places at the table. until the cap tain sent down for us to come on deck preparatory to entering the life boats." There was no loss of life in this shipwreck, but the en- tire ships company was rowed five miles. over a very rough sea, to Kodiak, where they were compelled to remain for about thirty days, when they were picked up by the Aloha, on which Mir. Caro re- turned to Juneau.

In later years Juneau has become largely a distributing point for the rest of Alaska. During 1915
 there was shipped to Alaska from the United States and foreign coun- tries, $23,793.6S7 in merchandise, of which amount approximately one sixth was received at the port of Juneau.
