Rev. FreShIey Points Out How
Christ Led Continuous
Life of Prayer.

That prayer is the one great
thing of the world for the Christian
was the point pressed by Rev. w.
II. Freshley. pastor of the First
Evangelical church Sunday morn
ing IN his sermon on the subject
The Praying Christ" lie spoke
of prayer and its value. saying in
part;
Our Lord was a man OF much
prayer. The secret of His power
was His prayer life Ills disciples
said Lord. teach us 10 pray but
they never asked Him TO teach them
TO preach. If we want TO study the
prayer life OF Christ We must go
10 the gospel Of Luke. which treats
of His manhood The manhood of
Jesus is brought very near us when
we remember that He got hungry,
weary. thirsty. and that He slept,
wept and prayed. Jesus prayed, He
prayed often He lived a life Of
dependence upon God. a life of
submission 20 God. We learn from
His life that the highest, hottest and
purest life needs special times Of
retirement and prayer. Jesus never
got where He could get along with
ont prayer How can you and l
afford 20 do so?
DO we say we love God and vet
very seldom talk with Him in
prayer DO we say we love Him
and yet neglect to read His word e?
Do We say we love Him and yet
take very little interest in His
church and kingdom? DO we say
we love Him and vet never teil
others of His love-
"Christ's prayer-life teaches us u
pray as a rest after work or service.
Before Jesus preached or perform
ed a miracle He prayed. and often
after a very hard DAYS work He
went into the quiet place 10 spend
the night in PRAYER.
III our Lord needed prayer after
work. how much more do we? Our
work may harm Us. disturb US.

and waste Us. How we need feI-

were several OF them) and the Won
derful preservation OF the Bible dur
ing days OF hunted persecution is
far more marvellous than the story
Of even The Fala ba Bible.
To-day there is a false fear. OF
reverence. or superstition associated
with religious things which has done
great deal Of harm Many people
seem to think that by some uneX-
planned process the ownership OF a
copy Of Gods word and its dusty
display on the lower shelf or even
on top or a center table will save
their souls and attest their religious
faith in the community. IL will
never even help to do so. unless that
dust IS stirred often enough for you
not only 10 commit the substance OF
that book 20 your mind. but also
live its religious principles in. your
heart. The Bible must be person
ally appropriated in order to become
spiritually effective. No mere owner
ship and display can make it a per-
sonal possession in any real sense.
Follow Its Teachings.
You must not only know some
thing about what is in the Bible
know much of it's contents. but also
endeavOr 20 follow its teachings
Make it the engrafted word. for
indeed only so is 1t able to save
your souls. Much of the popular
talk of religious education fails just
here: for by its insistence upon edu-
cation about the Bile it is not in
position TO bring pupils into living
fellowship with the unseen. which
should be the objective in all relig-
ious education. My plea then is for
each of you TO enroll in some Chris
tan Bible class TO learn concerning
the word of God which is able to
save your souls by personal appro-
priation. Make it your spiritual
possession. Exalt its teachings in
your conduct and secure a charac-
ter which may be comparable to
that revealed through its pages in
the personal life of Jesus Christ.
Live the saved life in fellowship with
Him. This is indeed to receive with
meekness the engrafted word which
is able TO save your souls"

lature and somewhat of dog-unchel himself, will endeavor to drive the contraption to Juneau.
 The machine was tried at Nome this fall, and it created considerable amazement among the sourdoughs. It is said that one of them who was coming to town to east his vote at the election, after seeing the device skit- tering through the atmosphere, changed his mind and his vote for prohibition.
 The one disadvantage that Alas kans can see about the machine for travel in accessible places is the vast amount of gasoline that it consumes. They contend that when the fuel sup ply for a dog team runs short they can take a rife and replenish the sup ply from the caribou herds or what other game animals happen to be around. But gasoline stations are ex- tremely scarce in the remote places, and therefore, for the present, the airsled will be used only for trans portation along well-traversed routes.

SCOTTY ALLEN TO COME
IN AN AERO-SLED

A. A. Allen, better known as
 "Scotty," canine expert par excel
 lence, who has been elected a mem Der of Alaska's Territorial Legisla- ture, which will meet at Juneau next March, instead of crossing the 1,5OO miles of ice and snow between Nome and the Territorial capital by dog team, will use a new mechanical con trivance, known as an auto-sled, says the Seattle Times. It is a combina- ton of the airplane, automobile and the Yukon bob-sled.
 Northern seers, gifted with prOph- ecy, forecast the passing of the time honored malamute dog team, and pre- dict that Seattle drummers, who have to make winter trips in the North in a few years will be travelling in deluxe airsleds, much the same as the residents of outside cities travel in automobiles.
 Allen sold 43O malamute dogs to the French government and spent several days in the Vosges mountains teaching the French chasseurs how to- drive them. He rode from the coast to the fighting front in an automobile and while on the way observed 9 squadron of airplanes engaged in making observations. Why not the the airplane and the Yu- lon bobsled be combined into an eff fcient machine. He decided to try it and spent last winter in Berkeley Calif., in experimental work. Tho machine which he built was taken t, Nome last summer, and this winte' Allen. and Nate Coombs, also a rep. | rescntative, in the Territorial Legis |

 Well, this is the finest country I ever saw. It beats California and even England for scenery. The pc-- pie are so kind and polite. All the land here is worked. That's what counts.
 Some of the boys who worked for the Guggies were down to see Us the other night.

EXAMPLE OF WHAT
 "PULL" CAN DO
MINING EXPERIMENTAL STATIONS MAY BE AUTHORIZED FOR sE-
 ATTLE AND FAIRBANKS.

According to a report, Fairbanks and Seattle will get a government mining experimental station. Adviees given out at the office of the secretary of interior, F. K. Lane. indicate that government station will be establish ed in Alaska this year, and that an other will be placed in Seattle later.
 The law authorizes the establish ment of ten of these tsations under direction of the United States bureau of mines, at different points in the United States. Three stations are to be established this year, three next year. three in 1918 and one in 1919.
 Secretary Lane is said to be im- pressed with the imperative need ot a station in Alaska for the purpose of studying the variegated minerals of the territory. He indicated that an other plant will be installed at Seattle later.
 The Alaskan station probably will be situated at Fairbanks, where some work along this line already has been accomplished by the citizens The Uni versity of Washington campus doubt less will be the site for the Seattle station, as the government already has large amount of equipment there for mine rescue work and all of the eq- uipment in the school of mines will be available.
 In the opinion of mining men here, the government could not have chosen places that need the stations less, with the exception of Nome. A min ing school in any of the Coast towns would result in more benefit and to a larger number of people in the ter ritory than either of the preferred places mentioned, said an experienced mining man this morning.

CAPT. JERsEN IN CHARGE
 or GERMAN SUBMARINE

FORT TOWNSEND. July 15.-That Capt Fred Jebsen, former Seattle shipping man who succeeded the first year of the war in running supplies to the German cruisers then on the Pacific, was in command of the Ger man submarine last year. was the news given out by Capt Eckert mas ter of the American steamship Justin, which docked here on her way from Shanghai, China, to Seattle
 This is the first definite news ob- tained regarding Jebsen since he dis appeared from the Pacific Coast, fol- lowing his spectacular exploit in run ming food and coal to the German cruisers cut of San Francisco. Last year Captain Eckert was first officer on the steamship Portland when she was captured first by a German sub marine and later by British warship. The submarine in question was com manded by Jebsen. Eckert says that Jebsen boarded the Portland and gave l excellent treatment to her officers and i crew.
 Late last year vague rumors were re oeived in Seattle that Jebsen had been placed in command of German submarine when he left the Coast and that he had lost his life in the sinking of the diver.
