MISSION AT ST.
 JOsEPH'S CHURCH

The Re. P. J. O'Reilly. S. J., of Fairbanks, will conduct Mission beginning on Sunday, October IA. and ending the following Sunday, October Fist. The mission con- sists of series of instructions and lectures on the truths of Christi- anity which are handed down from the days of Christ and his Apos- ties, to our own.
 Fatehr O'Reilly has travelled ex- tensively in the States. from the Atlantic to the Pacific, for a period Of sixteen years in this special line of conducting Catholic missions.
 The instructions are given at the close of the morning massas and the lectures in the evening at 7:30. Our age is one of investigation in every line of modern research, and one of the most puzzling investi- gations to the thinking man is that which concerns his final destiny. Whence have I come. why am ' here, and whither am bound, when all is said and done, Is the practical reflection that confronts the human mind. while man is struggling with the real issues of busy, work-a-day life. Man may ignore such reflections as they come unbidden in the midst of his daily round of toll but do what he may in trying to avoid the issue of question that is full of wondrous import. the time eventually comes when he looks for a solution of problem which revealed, truth alone can solve.
 This solution is given in the course of lectures that go by the timehonored name of Catholic mission.
 Wherefore the Public is invited irrespective of their denominational affiliations. to attend the lectures and find out for themselves what the Catholic Church teaches and what it does not teach concerning the most momentous question of every mans life. A household say ing in America is: Hear the other side" This is true in politics, it is also true in religion: and it is only when both sides of any issue are studied and understood that man is in position to form sound judg- ment
