VALUE OF CHURCH

The Value Of Church Member
ship" was the subject OF very I'm
pressive sermon delivered Sunday
morning by Rev. L. s. Davis 20 his
congregation at the First Baptist
church. Rev. Davis I'm making clear
his subject laid stress on the fact
that no greater honor can come 10
any one than TO be a co-worker with
Cod. The sermon i'm part
The measure Of value Of an or
ganization or institution IS the meas
ure OF service u renders 20 man
kind. on this basis We determine
the value OF the lodge. the club and
the church.
Church Has History.
THE church, however. has his
tory that makes 81 easy 20 get an.
estimate Of it's service 70 humanity.
Tn the light of that history We are
free 10 say that no institution has
done so much for the progress OF
society as the church. The church
represents that orEa nized force
which Is seeking the establishment
Of the Kingdom OF God. All mem
bers Of the church are co-workers
With God for the establishment Of
teousness in the earth We hold
that no greater honor can come to
any one than 20 be q co-worker
with God
"Net many people do not estimate
their membership i'm the church
high enough. our city-wide cam
vass brought TO light hundreds who
are members OF churches i'm other
I cities. They brought everything
I with them except their church let
7 ter. They have never made them
I selves known 20 tho church OF their
/ faith. They are denying the faith
and hindering the cause they profess
/ to believe in. There IS no hindrance
TO the church like a dead church
member.
NOn-AttCndance Problem.
Another problem is the non-at-
| tendance OF church members. Mem
bers who belong but never attend
their own church. Such people
/ persuade themselves that member
ship in a church is salvation. But
not according 10 the teachings OF
Christ. No one can grow spiritual
~ unless they learn the laws OF the
spiritual life. No one can grow spir-
itually unless they worship. The
church is the instructor in the
things of the soul. The church by
its worship cultures and enriches
the soul. Sunday IS tho souls brood
ing day. No one who neClects his
church will long maintain q spiritual
/ life. Continued absence from the
/ church Will in time mean death TO
1.-THE spiritual life.
The Churchs influence in the
I community depends upon the reg
ular and constant attendance Of the
members. a we'll attended church
/ is an inspiration. 4 poorly attended
church is a discoura cement. The
greatest need today is a church

Willis became Col lector of Customs. He promoted MT Garfield to the position of Spe. cial Deputy Collector at Juneau. MT. Garfield retained this position dur ing the two administrations of Mir. Willis and was retained in. it by John F. Pugh and John w. Troy during their terms of office. He re. signed from the service February 1, last. and retired month later.
 Active In Public Service
 MT. Garfield has always been ac. tive in matters of public concern. He was one of the organizers of the Alaska Fish and Game Club, of which he was secretary and very active member. This club maintained, among other things. the experimental fish hatchery that afterward was turned over to the Territorial Fish
 
 Commission. When the Legislature organized the Territorial Fish Com mission Mir. Garfield was appointed to membership on it. and became its secretary. When he quit the Gus toms Service recently the duties of the Superintendent of Hatcheries were added to those of the secretary. and Mir. Garfield has been serving in that capacity.
 MT. Garfield has been a member of the Executive Committee of the Juneau Commercial Association for the last several years.
 There Is no part of Alaska with which Mr. Garfield as not famiiiar. His duties in the Customs Service have taken him over all the main roads and some of them that are not so well established. He is widely acquainted with the people d the Territory as well as with it's resources and possibilities.

those in attendance thought the frank
discussion would serve to clear the
atmosphere and pave the way for some
kind of compromise. Several gov

sent at the conference and were called
into the discussion. The big black
board which was set up in the room
some days ago for the working out
of valuation problems was in frequent
use, and one senator said whole box
of chalk had been consumed during
an afternoon. None of those inter.

according to the income tax report for
1919 just released. Five of these pie
thoric ones admit their incomes ex-
ceed $5,O00,000 each-how far in ex-
cess no one knows.
There are lS9 more who get in the
exceeding 100000 class" and, COM
putting the entire number who admit
incomes in excess of $90,000 there is
a grade total of 6,639 who may prop
erly be classed as 'millionaires, $780,
600 being six per cent on $1,50O,OOO.
1t is pointed out that in 1860, the
year before the start of the civil war,
the imperfect Investigations of that
time revealed but 10 persons credited
with possessing money and property
actually in excess of $l,0OO,OOO, while
80 years later, in 1890, the National

Road Construction
Enormous Business
One of Nations Greatest
Industries, 100000
600 Men Employed.

WASHINGTON-R building is
one of the nations largest industries,
according to statistics compiled by
the bureau of public roads, United
States department of agriculture, and
surpasses such great industries as the
manufacture of steel and iron as we'll
as the production, sale and repair of
automobiles. In December, 1920, less
than 100000 men were employed in
the steel and iron industry. 1t is esti-
mated that last year something like
10000 men were engaged in making,
selling, and repairing automobiles. AS
compared with this an army of ap-
proximately 100000 men labored last
year throughout the road-construction
season in building and repairing the
country's highways.
Fifty million tons of stone and grav-
el will be required by the $4,000 miles
of Fereral-aid roads either completed
or under construction in the United
States at the end of the present fiscal
year. Some idea of the quantity is
given by the fact that it is equal to a
million carloads. If the material were
piled in one place in the form of a
cube it would approximately be 1000
feet in each direction, or nearly twice
as high as the Washington monument.

New Regulations
Help Stock Men,
National Forest Fees can
Be Paid in Install
mentS.

WASHINGTON-As a measure of
relief to livestock owners who have
suffered from the widespread depres-
sion in the cattle and sheep industry,
the secretary of agriculture, on the
recommendation of the Forest Service,
has waived the requirement that graz
ing fees on stock using National For
est ranges be paid 80 days in advance
OF the beginning of the grazing period.
Under the new regulation stockmen
this year will be permitted to pay the
amount of fees due in two installments,
first payment to be made on or before
the date the stock enters the National
Forest, and final payment on or before
December |, 1922, without interest on
the deferred amount
Grazing permits will be issued at the
time of first payment, but each per-
NIT will contain stipulation that fail
ure to make final settlement by De-
cember will be cause for the revoca-
ton of grazing preference, together
with the institution of legal action for
the collection of the value of the for
age consumed.
In 1921 over $4,000 livestock own
ers grazed 2,129,500 cattle and horses,
and 7,455,6OO sheep and goats largely
in the National Forests of the western
states.

Business Slowly

Almost Every Industry
Shows Steady I'm
provement

WASHINGTON-On the whole,
the figures received by the Survey of
current business" during the past two
weeks, says a statement by the depart
ment of commerce, further emphasize
the progress which business has made,
compared with six months or year
ago. Nearly every industry shows
slow and steady improvement and re-
turning confidence.
The increase in the pride of farm
products is having far-reaching effect
upon industry in general Current re-
ports reaching the department indicate
that the trade of mail-order houses
and of other distributors, largely de-
pendent upon rural patronage, is al,
ready feeling this Improvement.
Distributors continue to purchase
cautiously and in small quantities, but
in many lines these purchases are be.
ing made at more frequent intervals
The monthly business and financial
review by the federal reserve board
says "the recent rise in the prices oi
farm products is considered of great.
er significance than any other deve.
lopment since these prices broke ir
the fall of 1920. The deadlock, which
has existed as result of farm pro.
ducts falling faster and farther thar
other products, has been broken and
the change has frightened the busi.
ness situation"
