WILL HOLD MISSION
IN ST. PAUL'S, BERLIN

Father Harrison, of the Order of
the Holy Cross, will hold mission
in st. Paul's P. f. Church. Berlin, be-
ginning Sunday, January Goth, and
ending Sunday. February 5th.
Those belonging to the Order of
the Holy Cross cannot marry, have
any money, or do what is contrary to
the will of their Superior in the
Order.
They are monks and live under
very rigid rules, having their monas-
terry at West Park, New York. Hav-
ing no worldly possessions and no
wife or children to look after, they
are tied to no particular place, but
are free to go and preach the Cos
pei wherever they may be sent, ask
ing nothing in return. And as they
are entirely subject to the direction
of the Superior of the Order, they
are sent where it is thought their
work may be the most effective. Their
whole time is spent in doing the
work of Christ and His Church. AL
most all of it is passed in prayer,
study. and the holding of Missions
in parishes where their assistance is
requested.
The Order was founded in 1884,
when the Rev. J. o. S. Huntington,
son of Bishop Huntington, was pro-
fessed by Bishop Henry C. Potter,
Bishop of New York. that is, he open
~ declared his vows before the
Bishop. All belonging to the Order
take life-vows of Poverty, Chastity,
and Obedience.
The General Convention of the
Episcopal Church has passed a canon
accepting the life as factor in the
church and providing for its official
recognition.
Another Order in the Episcopal
Church. very similar to that of the
Holy Cross, is that of st. John, the
Evangelist, from which the church
has drawn two of its Bishops. One
of these was the late Bishop Grafton
of the diocese Of Fond du Lac, who
gave to the church his entire fortune
Of about half a million dollars;
and the other. Bishop Hall, Bishop
Of Vermont, who is considered the
greatest theologian Of the Episcopal
Church in this country.
The church in Berlin hopes that
not only those belonging to its own
congregation. but the people Of the
town and vicinity. generally. will at
tend Aae services 4 e eight

 The rich and large showing uncoy- cred by recent developments makes it the most important on the Alaska side of salmon river. The railroad is being built to open up what is now believed to be the greatest mining camp the world has ever seen. The Premier, that is developed by three tunnels, has, roughly speaking, be- tween eight and ten million tons of ore in sight on two claims.
 This mine IS now producing over five hundred thousand tons a month with 300 miners at work, yielding about $500 per diem GO the man.
 Developments in the New Alaska and Big Missouri, which is as large and rich a mine as the Premier and the recent strike of twelve feet or ore in the Indian group, four feet of which is steel galena running about 400 ounces to the ton, is guarantee that the railroad will have paying business from the time it is ready to carry freight and pas sengers.
