THE SUPERIORITY COMPLEX

Invariably people assume their
race superior to others. The idea
goes back to early times when a
certain race assumed Itself the
chosen people. The Greeks con-
sidered themselves cultured, all
others, barbarians. In Arlellca
we assume ourselves superior: 10
o'Eer races, particularly Tie
races OF the Orient and th.e ma
tive races of Alaska. Only g Jew
years ago, school. officials Of the

DEPARTMENT CHILD
WELFARE REPORT
193O-1931
(By Elaine HI. Talbot, Depart
ment Chairman, Child Welfare
American Legion Auxiliary

Since the visit of Miss Emma
G.. Puschner, National Director
Of Child Welfare for the Ameri-
can Legion, to Alaska last April
Child welfare has taken on new
meaning in our territory.
She brought with her echoes
of the White House Conference
at Washington, D. G. held last
November when Children's Char
ter was adopted. In accepting
the challenge of the children's
charter welfare organizations
throughout the United States
have pledged themselves to a
square deal for all children Gre
gardless of race or color or situa-
ton, wherever he may live un.
der protection of the American
hag).
In the past we have felt in
Alaska that we had no child
welfare problem inasmuch as we
understood our efforts to be con-
fined to children of veterans.
Miss Puschner emphasizes the
fact that unhealthful conditions,
both moral and physical, which
affect children in any of our
communities will surely, sooner
or later, affect our own children.
Thus our program has been en-
larged to include all children.
This does not necessarily
mean that we must expand our
funds, but that it will be the
duty Of our child welfare cons

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES

Doctrine of Atonement" was the
subject of the lesson-sernon on
Sunday, April 10, in all Churches of
Christ, Scientist.
Golden Text: He sent redemption
unto His people; He hath command
ed His covenant for ever: holy and
reverend is His name" (Psalms
HID.
Among the citations which COM
prised the lessOn-sermon was the
following from the Bible: "And this
you: that in the seventh month, on
the tenth day of the month, We shall
afflict your souls, and do no work
at all, whether it be one of your own
country, or a stranger that sOjOur-
meth amonf you:
For on that day shall the priest
make an atOnement for you, to
cleanse you, that ye may be clean
from all your sins before the Lord"
(Levitious 1929, 30).
The lessOn-sermOn also included
the following passages from the
Christian Science textbook, "Science
and Health with Key to the Scrip
tures," by Mary Baker Eddy Atone
ment is the exemplification of mans
unity with God, whereby. man re-
fleets divine Truth, Life, and Love.
Jesus of Nazareth taught and dem
Onstrated mans oneness with the
Father, and for this we owe Him
endless homage. His mission was
both individual and collective. He
did life's work Alright not only in
justice to Himself, but in mercy to
mOrtals-tO show them how to do
theirs, but not to do it for them nor
to relieve them of a single RESPONSE
bility. Jesus acted boldly. against
the accredited evidence of the SEN
ses, against Pharisaical creeds and
practices, and he refuted all oppo-
nents with His healing power" (p. |

Balmy spring days make a stronl
appeal to the tillers of the soil, anC
aside from that, work is the genera
subject of discussion. Excess ener-
ey stored up in the human system
during the winter months will more
than likely come back to normal be-
fore the summer is very far advanc-
ed. Well don't you think the times
look a lot brighter, and the year OF
1881 will be a decided improvement
over 1890? If the spirit of optimism
prevails in our fair land, surely
work will be pleasant, folks will be
happier, and the golden chariot of
prosperity will roll on to the heights
of peace and greater achievements.
Last Sunday was the beginning of
the conference year and a large
crowd attended the St. George M. .
e. Church. Our pastor, Rev. o. II.
COnnelly was returned for another
year, for which we are profoundly
grateful and wish him prosperous
year, as he labors to increase the
kingdom of righteousness among
men.
At the close of the sermon last
Sunday. Bro. Connolly issued a ring
ing challenge to the members of St.
Georges that each and every mem
ber win one soul for Christ during
the year.
Next Sunday our pastor will use
for his subject ''The Nature of the
Kingdom of God" The text will be
found in st. Matthew, 18th chapter
and 44th verse. Special music by the

tiOn of the return of the Frankford,

low frequently we hear people
n a complain Of indigestion" And
how seldom there is actually any,
thing wrong with the digestive or
ganS!
What most people call indigestion
is usually excess acid in the stomach.
The food has soured. The instant
remedy is an alkaki to neutralize
the acids. But don't use any crude
helps. Use what most doctors would
advise; use what your own doctor
prescribes in his daily practice for
just that condition.
The very best help is Phillips
Milk of Magnesia. You will find
nothing else so quick in effect, SO
harmless, so efficient. One tasteless
spoonful in water neutralizes many
times its volume in acid. Results are
