CHURCH NOTES

Gcd wants willing workers in His
Kingdom. If we do the Lords work
in the spirit of discontentment the
Lord cannot bless us. We see

1t is great privilege that we may
serve the Lord. He can, fcourse get
along without US, but we need Him
AID His blessings. 1t is the Lords
blessing that maketh rich.
am so often reminded of the two
great seas in Palestine. One of them
receive water into it, but does not
give out any; it has no outlet-that =
the Dead Sea. The other sea takes in
water also, and from it water is con-
I ..ually running out into the different
| lrts Of the country, where it serves
tla earth in giving moisture to the
fields and vegetation-that is the Sea
o. Genesareth.
Our lives can be compared with
them. Are we giving out rivers OF
living water to humanity? Or are we
salfishly just thinking of ourselves
and forgetting the needs of our fell
low men?
"Give, and it shall be given unto
you" says Christ.

KAS THEORY WHY HERRIh|C FAMILY
 STUNNED INLET
FISHERMAN SAYS WATERS MUD DY WHEN GREAT MiGRA
 TICN WAS ON

One reaon assigned for the lack of the herring run in the Cook Inlet district this season is muddy water according to J. F. Johnson of Nunalcak who says that when the great run started the fish founld conditions bad at Cook Inlet because of the rains that just prevailed at that time.
 There is the probability, in his opinion, that the tribes of the herr ing family that were scouting along the coast looking for a place to light, turned their noses up when 1 they sensed the 1nurky waters coming out of Cook Inlet and decid- ed to move on Westward where they apparently met some of their cousins and they all decided on a big convention at Unalaska. Any way it is reported that there were so many herring out there that the Pacific ocean was crowded LID on the banks.
 Johnson has been fishing to the Westward for a number of years and has just returned after a trip Outside. He expresses great faith ln the Westward country, declar- ing that there will be a number of different fishing lines develop ed, permitting activity in virgin fields to supply the World-call for fish food and taking the pressure off of Soptheastern Alaska until the fish tribes there replenish themselves.
 He is also strong proponent of the Iliamna road as truck highway to permit a quick and easy outlet to the Iliamna and Bristol Bay country This would neceSsitate a new line of boat communication from Seward to Cook Inlet, he maintains, but would be justified by the increas- ed traffic that would surely en- sue
