pecting death, Father Herman dld not apply for relief to any mortal physician, but with ferv- ent prayer and tears he turned to God; kneeling before the im- age of the Blessed Virgin that hung in his room he asked her help and intercession. He prayed through the night. Then he took towel and having wiped the image of the Blessed Virgin with it he tied the towel around his neck. Continuing his prayer he was overcome with fatigue and fell asleep on the floor. He dreamed that the Blessed Virgin healed him. Having awakened in the morning he arose from the floor and to. his great surprise he found himself perfect y we'll. The swelling without coming to a hesd and the sore without break ing disappeared, leaving just a little red spot as if to remind hlm of the great miracle.
 On hearing of this wonderful recovery the doctors were incred- ulous. endeavoring to prove that it was impossible for the ulcer to disappear without discharge either by bursting or cutting. But with men this is impossible, but with God all things are pos sible". (Matt. 19: 26).
 After six years in "Sergief Pustln" Herman went over to Balaam Monastery which he low ed with all his heart, and later during his whole life recalled with warm love. At Balaam he left the kindest recollections of himself. The Hermitage where Father Herman lived is still call- ed the "Herman's Hermitage.
 In 1793 an ecclesiastical Mis- slon was formed from the monks of the Balaam Monastery and sent to Northwestern America for the purpose of preaching the word of God to the wild inhabit- ants of the country. Ten men were selected and among them Father Herman. God willed that he should labor in the apostolic work among the Aleuts much longer than the rest of his CO workers.
 The place where Father Her. man lived in Alaska was Spruce Island called the "Elovol Ost- rolf, named by hIm the "New Balaam". Spruce Island is separ- ated from Kodiak Island by a strait it is not very large, 1t IS covered by a dense forest and IS very picturesque. In the first days of his stay there he dug

KODIAK
 DIARY

Father Gerasim Schmaltz, who resides at Monks Lagoon on Spruce Island, where is buried Father Herman of legendary fame, is a frequent visitor to Kodiak.
 The story is told by many old timers here that whenever the annual pilgrimmagc of the local church body was made to Monks Lagoon, no matter if it rained before and after, that one day would always dawn bright and clear. On one of these pilgrim images some years ago booklet was presented to those attending, which recounted the life of Fath- CT Herman and recorded the mir aculous stor es of the powers of his religious faith.
 The booklet was printed years ago at Sitka, we found, although the exact date of it's publication is not known. It tells of Father Herman's prophecies and ex- plains the reason Father Geras'm has maintained his faithful devo- tion at the spot where Father Herman is buried.
 The story, as told by the book let, follows:
 He died in 1887; but he is alive even now. He lives in the hearts of the people, in the most hidden recesses of the human souls. His great exploit, hIs firm faith, his ar lent love of God and man, his warm kindness to the poor, neg. lected and unhappy people made his name immortal here in Alas ka and hls bright image precious and endearing.
 Father Herman was born in 1757 in the town of Serpoohof, District of Moscow. His parents were merchants. From his earli- est years he felt the call to the monastic life. At the age of Is he became an inmate of "Troitzs Sergief Pustin".
 How firm his faith in God was even at that time and his only hope in Him may be shown by the following incident that hap pened to him: On the right side of his neck, just under his chin g large ulcer appeared, The pair was very severe, the inflammation quickly spread all over his face and neck and disfgured his appearance; it was very diff cult for him to swallow anything. In this dangerous condition, ex-

Lesson
Texts: Exodus 20:13; Matthew
5:21-26, 38-45
BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, ID.

Few lessons could offer more
occasion for reflection, contro-
versy, and effort toward inter-
probation than a lesson on the
sacredness If human life at a
time when humanity is being
decimated by a terrible war.
The cynic might scott at the
anomaly of being concerned with
such a theme when by the mil
lions men - and women - are
arrayed to destroy one another.
But the thoughtful student OF
the Scriptures will realize that
it is precisely because the world
is at war that it is so important
to consider the sacredness of
human life. This war has been
brought on by those who scorn-
ed the teaching of the Bible, and
who were willing to kill, and
MAIN, and perpetrate all man.
ner of fiendish cruelties, in the
hope of grabbing something Tor
themselves in the manner of any
criminal bandit.
If the professions OF our coun-
try and its brave and self-sac-
rificing service men are to be
taken at their full worth, the
war is being waged with the
purpose of stopping barbarism.
1t is because they believe that
human life is sacred that they
wish to stop murder. If the pro-
lection Of human life and the
establishment of peace among
men is not our goal and purpose,
we are as guilty as the makers
of war.
