Church News
The Church School Sunday NOR
ming was fairly we'll attended. Sew
enty-nine teachers and scholars be-
ing present, This for the extreme
hot weather we are having, was a
good showing.
The lesson for the day was dis
cussed from all points and shows
that both the teachers and pupils are
deeply interested in the wonderful
lessons of the present quarter.
Phillip and the Ethiopion" is the
title. Let us see if after reading the
doings of this man if it will bring
to our minds and hearts more for
chilly what we should do.
Philip was a torch bearer for
Jesus and after the church had been
scattered by the stoning of Stephen
this man went forth preaching to all
to whom he came in contact. The
conversion of the Tthiopion was
only one act in the wonderful life of
Philip. He was an evangelist who
was ever busy in his Masters
cause.
The teachers who should have the
church school at heart should be
able to learn some useful lessons
from the life of Philip.
The part which the teacher in the
church school should have in bring
ing to the minds of their scholars is
that portion of the scripture which
relates to the early conversions of
girls and boys at an early age and
the great work which they did for
the Master. This should be a work
of love on the part of the teachers
and should bring to them, not only
a greater love for Jesus but a love
for their scholars and an intense
desire to see them converted and
not be satisfied until this is ac-
cOmplished.
The morning sermon was preachs
ed by Rev. Otis Jefferson, pastor of
the M. E. Church of Chincoteague,
Va.
His discourse was based on Mat
theW's gospel, 14th chapter and 28th
verse. Faith" was his theme. 1t
was a wonderful sermon and held

FORMER SEWARD MAN, 0LOT|MER 0F NORTH, 5.
 W. WILEY, 1s CALLED

The sad news was received in this mail by MT. and Mrs. E. Crawford of the recent death of Samuel Will son Wiley, one of the best known 1 of Alaskan pioneers and resident of Seward for many years. MT. Wiley, who was "A years of age, passed away at the home of brother, w. E. Wiley, a few miles northwest of Creighton, Ill. A sis ter, Martha F. Lockerby of Vienna, Virginia; and two brothers, Selwyn of Calumet, Oklahoma, and w. E., of Creighton, also a cousin, E. c. Wiley of Creighton, mourn his passing as do hundreds of old friends throughout the Territory of Alaska.
 MT. Wiley was born October 19, 1856 in Monee County, Ill.,, and died March 4, 1881.
 He came to Alaska in 1898 and prior to moving to Seward in 1902, he lived at Valdez. His activities in the Territory were mining, dog musher and other lines. Once, in 1927, the Outside beckoned, but the lure of the North was in his viens and the following year he came back. His health, however, was fail- ing and in 1929 he left for his old home in the East where he remain ed until the end.
 Epitomizing the esteem in which he was held, local instance is re- lated when little boy heard that his friend MT. Wiley had been call ed. The boy broke down and cried as if his little heart would break; between sobS he said to his mother; He was the best friend we ever had"

FACTS ABOUT EASTER

Easter Sunday, tomorrow, April 5, is observed by Christians Ill commemoration of Christs resurrection put not as an actual anniversary it's date varies from year to year, in accordance with method of computing 1t adopted by the Council at Nice in the year 325
 The custoing of celebrating Easter is really an out growth of the Jewish Passover There no trace of it's observance Christian festival in the Testament in the writings of the apostolic fathers In fact neither Christ the apostles the keeping of the or any other festival.
 But as most of the early Christians were derived from the Jewish church. many of the old Jewish festivals continued to be observed by them and gradually passed into the Christian calendar.
 The name of Easter is derived from Easter the An- glo Saxon goddess of spring, and many customs which have marked the days observance drawn from the pagan sources In the ancient church the celebration of Easter lasted eight days but after the 11 century limited to three later to two, and finally to one.
 The proper time for the observance of Easter has been the subject of bitter controversy among various Christian groups In the year 197 Pope Victor excom municated Poycraes, bishop of Ephesus and his entire Asatic following for not conforming to the Roman GUS tom The Greek chrch did not adopt the Roman date un til 1923 that only during the last eight years has the entire Christian world observed Easter simultaneously
 According to present usage Easter can not occur earlier than March P later than April 25 The last time fell March P was in 1818 after which some three centuries must eapse before so early again. It fell on April 25 the last time in 1S43 but will not occur so late ill any year of the present century,
 Of all Easter customs the use of Easter eggs is the most universal This is also of pagan origin the egg having been considered symbol of immortality by the ancents
