Mattern ScOuTS
 Arctic Ice for
 Russians, Fails
Flying Difficult in 400-Mile Hop-Canadian, Rus
 sians Prepare

POINT BARROW, Alaska, Aug. 21.-A search for the missing Rus sians and their plane by Jimmy Mattern was fruitless in a 400-mile flight over the Arctic Ocean.
 Mattern arrived here yesterday at AIS D. m. landing three miles north of the village, and soon took off on his first search.
 Mattern reported, after his Arc tic flight, that flying conditions were difficult. He flew low most of the time. He found landing places inn possible. He said he flew north out of Point Barrow, then west until his gas began to run short. He landed here with his tanks empty.
 Bob Crandall, Canadian pilot, today began preparations for an Arctic search for the six Russians who have not been heard from since they hopped off from Moscow more than a week ago on Polar flight to the United State.
 A Russian hydroplane, piloted by Zadkoff, which is preparing to take off to cover the coast to Aklavik, thence to Banks Land, is refueling here.
 Pilot Zadkoff and his crew spent the night here. Eskimos, hearing old stories of early days when Rus sians are supposed to have killed natives, were at first afraid of the Russians.
 The ice cutter Krassin, fighting ice few miles off this village. has progressed about five miles in the last fifteen hours.
 Zadkoff said the vessel will pro- ceed as far north as possible to act as base for three Soviet planes equipped with skis.

 Sir Hubert plans to make his base at the mouth of the Copper Mine River. His seaplane has a cruising radius of 4.000 miles and can re- maia in the air 20 hours without re- fueling.

A Gospel Message In Verse

BY T. A. Hall
o! that Home. that Home,
That beautiful bright Home.
That land SO wonderously fair.
Where God Is the light,
And there's never no night,
o! Lord, how want to go there!
Some day He will call;
Then l shall leave all
To be with my Lord over there,
To enjoy that sweet rest
At Home with the Blest
With never a sigh nor care.
There are many 4 love
In that bright land above.
And / long to be with them up there
They are waiting for me,
Just over Life's sea,
To guide me up Heavens bright
stair.
When the day does break,
Ny flight l shall take,
And I'll bid farewell to the world
AS 1 fly through space
On wings of His Grace,
And, my coming. bright Angels will
herald.
Don't you want to go there,
To that Home bright and fair,
Where Gods Saints are singing al
ways,
Where God is the light.
And there's never no night,
But a continuous, eternal, bright
day?
If you'll now accept Him,
And turn from all sin,
You may start on that Journey to-
day
For His mercy Is sure
And will ever endure,
o, man, can't you see 1t will pay
0, yes, it will pay,
So what do you say
About taking him now at his word
The door is open wide,
And He's waiting to guide
To life that's as free as bird.
Yes, free from the srares
That catch unawares
All sinners in the world like you,
And there are many that go
TO the regions below
Because Gods will they will not do.
But it pays to serve Jesus,
Yes, it pays to serve Him;
t will pay when this world is on
fire.
I pays to live holy,
And it pays to hate sin
f you ever expect to go there.
10 why not turn now,
IN your knee to Him bow,
md yield all of your life to His
care.
Tou can trust Him to keep,
awake, or, asleep,
md some day you Will meet Him up
there.

Old MOtneT NATURE.
CIRCUMSTANCES govern judgment
~ in all sorts of cases. This Is
especially true Of mans judgment OF
his neighbors in feathers and fur. He
is all too often willing to base his
Judgment on circumstance alone. and
not bother to get at the facts. The
result is that very often he places the
blame on those who are wholly in
nocent. 1t happens over and over
again. So the innocent suffer, while
the guilty go free. That happens
among human beings, too, but not so
often as among the little people Of the
Green Forest and Green Meadows
This Is because mans knowledge Of
them all too often Is far less than he
thinks it is. Then, his judgments are
based on ignorance or misunderstand-
ing. Always it Is too bad for the
victim
The telephone rang early one morning
in Farmer Browns house. Farmer
Brown answered it. When at last he
hung up, his face was very grave.
