4 GOOD MAN
 GETS w BAD

Many good man has gone wrong. Sometimes it is an in- satiable desire to get rich quick. Sometimes there is a woman mixed up in the case. There have been instances where supposedly honorable citizens could not re- sist the temptation to smuggle. There have been cases where men of high standing seemed to have no compunctions of conscience
 about killing game out of season if they could only do it without getting caught. But never until this week did we ever hear of a hunter of wild game declaring l l war on poultry ranch. A few days ago residents of the upper end of town had their attention
 attracted by several gun shots. The gun was in the hands of
 Chas. A. West of the St. Michael Trading company dock. Just as this modern Nimrod was raising his gun to take another shot one of the neighbors cried out, Don't you know those are Loftus' tame geese?" The tragedy of it is
 he didn't know it, and three fowls had already been slaughtered. When the owner of the fowls learned what had happened it
 looked as if there was going to be
 serious trouble between him and West. But the matter was finally l adjusted in a peaceful manner, as is shown by the following docu-
 ment:
 Wrangell, Alaska, April IA, 1919.- Rrrriurh from Charles A. West,
 the sum of Eight Dollars (3.M) in full payment for the destruc- tion and loss of one ''Tommie, ''
 a tanned wild goose. and two only ducks, the sole property of one
 Johnnie Loftus of Wrangell
 The payment of this sum ab- solves the said Charles A. West and his legal heirs from any fur 1 ther payment, liability, pugilistic
 assaults, or other personal inju- 1 ries.

It is getting time of the year for a general cleanup of rubbish. A cleanup day is necessary, not only to improve the appearance of the town, but for sanitary reasons. Old tin cans and other rubbish are a menace to the health of the community. There are many spots in Wrangell which are now covered with rubbish that could be made a delight if the rubbish was removed and flowers planted. As soon as the date for Wrangell's cleanup day is set it will be announced.

who achieved many victories under

The rumor at the time ran that

chosen you, and ordained you, that We
should go and bring forth fruit, and
that your fruit should remain" May
1t be to give you another opportunity
to glorify his father by bearing fruit,
that you are still here?
1t may be you are waiting to be
perfected. / ought to explain this, be-
cause there is a sense in which every
true Christian is perfected the momens
he accepts Christ as his Savior He
Is perfected In that he Is both justified
and sanctifled; his sin is put away, and
by the Holy Spirit he himself is set
apart for God forever. The New TesI
lament is very clear on this; notice
Paul's words In his epistle to the Co,
lossians, for example.
What, then, do we mean by saying
we may be waiting to be perfected
Do we mean the attainment of state
of sinlessness this side of heaven? No /;
for If Christian lived to be as old as
Methuselah, would he not still require
to pray, "Forglve US our trespasses as
we forgive those who trespass against
us?" We only mean that perfectness,
In the sense of a ripeness for the
sickle, which comes In the lives of
some as If crown of glory had been
vouchsafed to them even before they
passed into the unseen.
And so may 1t be with some of you,
Though now your pruning. your digs

are over. yet the quiet but potent rays
Of divine grace are accomplishing

your Christian life never viii have

you depart hence. I'VE all do fade as

Within ife's book another leaf is turned;
Today face a new and unued year.
Its secrets and its purpose all unguessed
No hand may lift the veil that hides from us
Success or failure and no feet save ours
May tread our pathway, do our several tasks.
We step into the New Years outstretched arms,
And wonder if with all her Turing charms
Truer she'll prove than one we leave behind
What we have gained from wrestling with defeat
Mayhap will give strength new foes to meet
With greater courage. Come, them storm and stress
Defeat and failure, or joys magic SPELL
To each or all the new year holds in store
We reach our hands in welcome, for we know
Our truest blessings from our failures grow,
And that share of happiness will be
What we acquire through self-mastery
