THURSDAY, MAY 19, 1888

THURSDAY, MAY l3, 1858
 Astrologers read this as fortu- nate day, although there may be more enthusiasm than logic in cer- tain impulses. There should be fore sight and energy imparted by the planetary influences.
 The United States Navy will focus attention and its officers will gain fame before the close of the sum mer, if the stars are rightly read. Good feeling may permeate busi- ness circles and there is likely to be increase in the volume of do- mestic trade.
 The planetary government is fa- vorable to men of affairs and should encourage them in the expansion of enterprise. Oil now comes under | less uncertain direction of the stars.
 Warning again is given against the increase of class consciousness caused by labor troubles in the Un- tied States. Evil portents are seen as likely to eliminate in serious clashes and the spread of Commun- ism.
 This is not lucky day for per- sons who appeal to the public mind. Groups are likely to be actuated by prejudices and self interest.
 Girls are warned that this Is not an suspicious date for making new friends among eligible young men. College students may find this a dull day for amusements or re- creations.
 Accidents may be numerous and safety lessons should be accepted with a resolution to apply them Young persons may be victims of airplane and automobile crashes and should be unusually cautious.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of happy days in which many will travel and all will be able to make progress in fin ancial accumulation.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be fond of change and ad- venture. Subjects of this sign ot Taurus may have strong inclina- tion toward independent effort and may be difficult to direct.
 Carl Ethen Akeley, explorer na- turalst and inventor, was born on this day 1864. Othere who have cele- brated it as birthday include Samuel G. Blythe, author, 1888; Johns Hopkins, financier and phil anthropist, 1795.

ROTARIANS REFUSE TO ACCEPT
 DEFEAT

Juneau Rotarans have decided to make another attempt to get the district conference of Rotary for Juneau At it's meeting this week the local club voted to extend an invitation to this years conference, which will be held in San Francisco in connection with the annual convention of Rotary International to hold the sessions here in 1939
 Whether the clubmen successful remains to be seen but in view of the unhappy situation which attended the transferring of the district conference this year from to San Francisco the Rotarians certainly are showing the sort of undaunted spirit which fails to recognize and usually gets results.
 The bringing of a convention of from 1000 to 800 delegates north entertaining them for three days and sending them away happy is no small task. The Rotarians are of it, and at the time they are unanimously in favor of trying it. That spirit of refusing to accept defeat will see them through fine example of effort toward service to the community and Alaska.

The lessOn-sermOn also includes
the following passages from the

dom and love may require many sac
rifices of self to save us from sin.
One sacrifice, however great. is In
sufficient TO pay the debt of sin. The
atonement requires constant SELF
immOlatiOn on the sinners part.
We know that a desire for holiness
is requisite in order to gain hOli-
ness; but if we desire holiness above
all else, we shall sacrifice every
thing for 1t. We must be willing to
do this. that we may walk securely
