Captain Bernard, Who Studied
Here, Tells University Mu-
scum Of Voyage
BOUND BY ICE TWO YEARS

After passing more than two years
imprisoned in the ice at Taylor island,
Victoria Land, which is the northern :
most part of the middle Of North Ameri-
ca. Captain Joseph Bernard. who Is
well known in Philadelphia. has written
the University Museum letter which
barely hints of the hardships he endured
but which is rich in promise Of one Of
the most complete archaeological col
lections OF the far north ever gathered.
Six years ago, after an arctic voyage
Bernard visited PHILADELPHIA and sold
his chronological collection to John
Wanamaker. In 1915 he obtained In
struction in scientific collecting at the
University Museum and sailed again for
the northland in 1916.
The letter is important because it in =
dicates that for the first time region
hitherto unknown save in the baldes,
deatils is likely to become scientifically
understood. Stefansson spent some tim,
In part of the region, but his writings
disclose that he did not penetrate nearly
so far as has Captain Bernard.
The letter of Captain Bernard is here
given just as writttn, but as he is a
French Canadian the spelling will be
excused:
Having a opportunity to despatch
mail to the States, the first in three
years, thought / would write you a
few words. We got frozc in at Taylor

Ten Thousand Churches Report
Increase Of $4,000 In the
Last Year
FINANCIAL REPORT GWEN

Ten thousand Presbyterian churches
throughout the country report a net
increase of $4,000 communicates for
the last year, as compared with the de-
crease Of nearly 1900 reported by the
churches one year ago.
These figures are from the stated
clerks annual statistics and were
announced yesterday by the Rev. Will
liam Pugh, who has been at work the
last few months upon the records in the
Office Of the late Rev. DR.. william
H. Roberts in the witherspoon Build
ing. &
II Is the largest increase Of member
ship reported since 1917, which marked
the beginning of the great slump In
membership reported by all denomina :
tions during the war period.
The Presbyterian Sunday schools have
an enrolment of 1851 ,260, as COM
pared with / .319, ,416 last year. The
1887 ,105.
Presbyterian contributions also made
big forward jump in the year, the total
being SAB OH .072, whereas the sum Of
S32. .S04, ,70S was reported in 1919.
Much credit for this must be given
to the New Era propaganda which has
sought to increase the interest Of church
members in all lines OF church activity.
Upward of $4,000, 900 was given for
home missions, an increase of about
81 100000 over last year. Foreign
missions received upward of $500,

tion from $500. 900 to $3.50 900. and
freedmen from 5000, 900 to $500, 900. ! +
Only in temperance work was there
decline in contributions, probably
because most persons believed that with
the coming Of prohibition the church, g
activities along that line would be less
pressing. Whereas S254, 900 was given
by the Presbyterian churches to tenn
peranee in 1919. there was only S226. :

Presbyterians gave S25. .T60, 900 this
year. as against S21 ,O97 900 last year.
