Last Thursday l had the opportu-
nifty to hear one of the most dynamic
Baptist ministers. He was a speaker
who fearlessly dared to challenge all
present to prove that the Baptist
Churches were not failing and went
ahead to show that they were actually
losing members by means of figures and
statements. Rev. Smith of Heverhill
decried the method of book religion in
contrast to the more natural form
which he typed "heart religion" If
we only had more men of this young
mans calibre and courage, the Baptist
Churches could and would be saved
from apparent disaster.

Many Responses to
 lcke's Proposals

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24. - The Slattery program for colon- ization of Alaska got a big re- sponse, Interior Department of ficials revealed.
 Five hundred requests have been received since August 14, when Secretary Harold Ickes an- nounced plan submitted by his under-secretary. Harry Slattery, to grubstake settlers in Alaska by private capital
 Equal numbers of native Am ericans and central European pol itical refugees, as well as busi- ness houses quickly wrote for details.
 Prospective settlers expressed personal ambitions and a frant- ic dsire for a new chance in life's struggle.
 A New York bank clerk wrote his hipe was to find some oppor- tunity in Alaska for a young man with a wife and child. An unmarried New Jersey woman, despairing of economic security, said she eventually hopes to set tie there. An IoWan asked if AL aska is still open to Americans. and from Ohio came a rush for details as to Alaska opportuni- ties.
 "I am a married man and l might want to go there" wrote one.
 Ickes said there are still thou sands of applications for Mata- nuska. but he G-as aot believe the colony is capable of support ing more than 150 families now.
 Most responses contemplated Alaska as a possible empire or an overlooked pol.unity: most are confused on the extent of ad- vantages realized by agricultur- al settlers.
