Of the people that God has blessed

His wishes in their lives.
II. Do Nothing to Cure the Ills OF
Earth.-How prevalent those ills, COM
mercial ills, political ills, industrial
ills, and ills racial! Since time and
space forbid a discussion Of all these
ills, let me call special attention to
the ills Of race relations.
"What must | do to Be lost?" Do
nothing to cure the ills Of this country
as they relate to its white and black
citizenship, I wonder how many Of us
have thought our personal salvation
depends upon the sincerity, persistence
and enthusiasm with which we labor
to bridge the chasm between the white
people and the Negroes Of this country
who must live BY their side? If you
will reflect upon the lynchings, pro-
scription, exploiting and other unfair
treatment under which the Negro lives
and will consider that in proportion as
he is able the Negro resents and hates
back, you will decide that any man
who fails to do his bit in promoting
better relations between the races en-
dangers his own soul
If you are white man and engaged
in the enactment or enforcement OF
laws to keep the Negro from enjoying
the full measure Of citizenship enjoyed
BY yourself, you are making the most
positive investment in your eternal
destruction. Even if you have had nc
active part in such injustices, you still
cannot escape unless you have lifted
your voice against them. You are
guilty just the same for having allowed
them without your protest. Look a
the sorrowful face Of Jesus as He says
'Inasmuch as We did il not to the leas
Of these (Negroes) ye did it not untc
me" and get the evidence that doing
nothing to remedy the racial ills of ou
beloved U. S. A. is sure way to b
lost.
But the white man is not the onl,
American upon whom responsibility
rests in the matter Of race relations
The Negro. too, is equally responsible

What Must 1 Do to Be Lost7


"How shall we escape if we are in

Much has been said and written on

church members, social leaders, and
many Of those who are counted among
the best people Of every community,
yet who fail to engage in the activities
which make for the betterment Of the
community where they live-to con-
seriousness Of the peril to their souls
occasioned BY indifference to known
duties. Many good people, people of
wealth, culture and refinement, are in
danger Of hell's torture, not for doing
that which is evil, but for leaving un-
done that which is good. Answering
the question: What must | do to be
lost?" let me say-NOTHING.

Jesus will enter into no mans life who
will not invite Him in. Though He
knocks constantly, if you do not open
the door, He will never come in. II
He never comes in, you are lost

so absorbed in household, industrial
business, professional and even social

RACE RELATIONS SUNDAY,
FEBRUARY "a
Cooperation Of All Church Groups Is
Asked

The Federal Council Commission on
the Church and Race Relations is
asking that February 10, 1924, be OBJ
served in all the churches of the coun-
try, white and colored, as Race Rela-
tons Sunday. Since this subject holds
so vital place just now in the effort
to make Christianity really effective, it
is felt that in every pulpit at least one
sermon a year might well be devoted
to it, and also one program in every
Sunday School, Young Peoples So
ciety and other religious group. In
1928 the day was observed in a great
many churches. 1t is hoped that in
1924 its observance may be practically
unanimous. The results for good, il
is believed, would be immeasurable.
The Commission is publishing a
booklet suggesting programs, topics
and materials suited to the occasion

WRANCELL BUSY
 SEASON POINTS
 TO GREAT YEAR
Town Experiencing One of Busiest Seasons, Says
 Editor of Sentinel.

Wrangell is experiencing one Of it's busiest and most prosperous seasons, according to J. ". Pritchett, editor and publisher of the Wrangell Sen tinel and one of the most prominent citizens of the town, who. with Mrs. Pritohett, arrived here last night on the steamer Northwestern. All of the industries centering there are active and will show considerable progress th's year. he said.
 The sawmil operated there is cut ting to capacity. In addition to it's local orders is doing considerable export business, shipping during the first part of the season some 400 900 l feet of clear spruce and recently 1 loading an additional 100000 feet for export through Seattle brokerage house.
 The eanneries in Wrangell and vi cinity are running at capacity and a plentiful supply of fish for them is reported, said Mr Pritchett. A fresh ] fish business is being built up through tho efforts of the Wrangell Commercial Club which secured ice for packing such shipments, a number of which have been made to Seattle recently.
 The cannery road from the town has been virtually completed and traf- fife is moving over it. This was con structed by the Bureau of Public Roads and is of material benefit to the town, he said. Plans for the con struction of the Wrangell breakwater have been drafted by the local engi- neers of the Board of Rivers and Harbors and submitted 10 Washing ton for approval and it is expected that work will be started on this project in the near future.
 The citizens of Wrangell this spring put on real cleanup and paintup campaign which frightened up all kinds of property and put the town in good condition. It now presents very creditable appearance. Wrangell celebrated the biggest oc casion in it's history in the recent visit of President and Mrs. Harding and their party. said MT. Pritchett Many out-of-town visitory came in for the day and aided in the greeting extended to the Nations chief execu tive and his guests. Petersburg citi zens, with banners and flags, came 1 by excursion boat and many people came by small boats from the West Coast The event passed without a
 single regrettable incident

 to Wrangell on the steamer Admira

 is expected to remain for severa days.

year if is planned to put in two more stations. at Fl McMurray and Ft Simpson, in the Mckenzie river country. When the installation of these stations is completed the old Dominion telegraph line will be dropped.
 It is believed that the installation of wireless stations and the abandon ment of the land telegraph system will save the government $250.000 year and better service will be given. The latter system now costs the government s275,000 a year to keep up. Service is uncertain as in the summer the line is damaged by firest fires and in the winter it is damaged by storms. asf sI
 Amends Constitution.
 In a bill introduced by Captain Black an amendment was made to the Constitution of Yukon. greatly in creasing the rights to trial by jury and the right of appeal in mining cases, and action for divorce and legal separation. The law in these questions, in Yukon, is now the same as in all other Canadian Provinces
 Considerable agitation has arisen in the past few years ill Yukon over these questions. The provisions of the Constitution previous to the amendment, were made in the early years of the country. with little right to jury trial because of the impossi- bility. on account of the sparseness of settlement to obtain jury for trial.
 Capt. and Mrs Black plan to spend the summer in Mayo and Dawson and will return south, in the fall.

PROHIBITION IS
 FARCE, DECLARES
 YUKON'S MEMBER
Capt. George Black Assails Policy Prohibiting Yukon
 Liquor Shipments.

With a liquor cargo for the season valued at s150.000 at Vancouver, awaiting transportation to the North, Yukon has been dry since early in June because of the United States law which prohibits the transportation of the cargo from Skagway over the railroad to the border, according to Captain George Black. member of Parliament from Yukon. Captain Black. with Mrs. Black is passen- ger on the steamer Princess Alice enroute to Dawson, after attending the last session of Parliament at Ottawa
 Tn my opinion the United States is making a farce of the enforcement of prohibition in the United States and 1t is a selfish policy to prevent the Canadian government taking a cargo of liquor across the United States territory, a distance which can be covered in a few hours when the liquor will be in bond and under heavy guard" declared Capt. Black
 q spent a short time in New York City recently and saw liquor served openly. My observation has eonvine- ed me that liquor is used freely in the United States, and that the Yu. kon should be deprived of it's liquor supply because the panhandle of Alas. ka breaks into the transportation be. tween Canadian points by such a short. distance as that from Skagway to the summit, appeals to me as an unfair game on the part of the United States government.
 Last winter repres tentative of the Canadian government was sent to Washington to take up the question with the authorities there. He was advised to have the purchase of the seasons supply made and that there would probably be no interference in the transportation of the cargo over the United States Territory to Cana da. After the purchase was made and ready for shipment from Van couver no change in the existing reg ulations was made"
 Capt. Black said that the Canadian government officials are hoping against hope that the matter may bs adjusted to permit shipments Into the Yukon from British Columbia. The Hon. J. H. King, Minister of Public Works for Canada. representing the Canadian government, will place the matter before President Warren G Harding, when the President passes through Vancouver on his return trip to the United States from Alaska Capt. Black said.
