A., as a result of the sermon broadcast from Seldovia a few months ago by Rev. Thomas Philip Graham of Seward.
 The news article on the Sermon and the Hearst article have no bearing toward one another with the excep- tion-one paints the Territory in scar let letters while the sermon article of Rev. Graham's was to the effect he had never met a more law-abiding class of citizens than it had been his pleasure to come into contact with since his arrival in Alaska.

Stwell, connected with the Board of Missions and Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal church, who is in charge of the pub licity department. In memo from Rev. Stowell to George L. Search Comptroller, Rev. Graham is advised that the news article of the Sermon has been sent out to all of the Advo. cates thru the World News Service and the Church bulletin, and that the attention of the Methodist people throughout the country will be called to the article. MrM. Search stated that he, himself, used the story several times already giving addresses on the work of the Board of Home Mission and Church Extension.
