THE BIBLE

Question and Answer Column
 0. It seems plain from Luke 16:- 19-31 that when men die they go into hell fire or heaven. How do you understand that?
 A. The text reads as ollows: There was a certain rich man. which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptously every day; and there was a certain beggar named Lazarus which was laid at his gate, full of sores, and desiring to be fed with the crumb which fell from the rich mans table; moreover, the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abra- hams bosom; the rich man also died and was buried; and in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in tor ments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lag arus. that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for 1 am tormented in this flame" But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime

GREET SANTA CLAUS A4
 INSTITUTE XMAS TREE

Sequeals and whoops of joy and surprise greeted santa Claus on Christmas Eve when he arrived al Wrangell Institute to leavegifts for 23O homeless children who live there.
 Two weeks ago one of Santa de- puties wrote in 10 The Sentinel re- questing that We call attention of people of Wrange1l 10 the fact that Wrangell Institute had now been made an orphanage and about 230 little youngsters were in dan ger of being passed up on Christ mas if the people of the town did not get busy and cooperate with Santa. The response was terrific. with the result that not a child was missed in distribution of gifts.
 The Christmas tree was set up in the school auditorium, and the tree and festivities were a complete surprise to the children. Santa entered the auditorium and shook hands and talked to the children. but due to the many places he had yet 10 cover, he left distribution Of the multitude of gifts to the teachers. There were dolls, jump ing ropes, marbles. knives, toy dishes, doll clothes. - everything To bring gladness to juvenile eyes.
 In the afternoon the class rooms, from the first to the sixth grades had their own small Christmas trees and stockings containing nuts, fruit and candy were passed out.
 Following the evening party and distribution of gifts, Christmas carols were sung by the children around the Nativity scene arrang- ed by Mrs N Whitaker on the stage of the auditorium.
 Earl c. Intolubbe, Superintend- ent at the Institute and all the personnel wish to extend their sin cere thanks to the Red Cross, the various organizations in town and
 he people of Wrangell whose gen erous response and contributions made 220 little hearts glad, not only on Christmas but for many days to come with their wonder ful Christmas gifts.

 Abraham saith unto him, "They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them" And he said, Nay Father Abraham; but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent" And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead"
 Many believe this to be a rev elation of mans condition after death. However, this is one in chain of parables, as we shall see.
 If you were in the flames of hell fire, wouldn't you want better cooling system than the tip uf someone's finger dipped in water? That would be far from adequate. Furthermore, the Bible plainly states that, THE DEAD KNOW NOT ANYTHING" and when man dies, His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day HIS THOUGHTS PER ISH." Feel 9.5; Ps. 146:14.
 Christ vas meeting his hearers on their own ground The doctrine of a conscious state of existence between death and the resurrection was held by many of those who were listening to Christ's words. He used the prevailing opinion to convey the ieda He wished to make rrcminent to all. that NO MAN Is VALUED FOR HIS POSSESSIONS; for all he has belongs to him only as lent by the Lord. A misuse of these gifts will place him below the poorest and most afflicted man who loves God and trusts ,in Him.
 4 parable cannot be used in all it's phases to teach truth. Even as when some Pharasees told Jesus that Herod would try to kill Jesus He said, "Go ye, tell that fox. .. Luke 12:32. You would not under stand by this that Herod was coy cred with fur. moved about on four legs, lived in a hole in the ground, etc. No, you would draw from that parable that Herod was sly sort of person. So in this parable of the rich man and Lazarus, it can not be taken literally.

 Senator Norman R. Doe" Walk CT of Ketchikan was pushing for a special session of the Legislature. In a recent public statement Doc said he had an agreement from Senators Joe Green and L. P Dawes that they would support an income tax bill Both opposed such a tax in the last session. Juneau Chamber of Commerce also had done a little "sampling." It has asked various chambers what they thought about a special session. Of four replies, two favored 1t and two opposed Majority opinion seemed to be from various parts of the Territory that a specially con vened session wouldn't accomplish much due to the fact that it's mem bership would be the same as the regular session which had made appropriations of around II million against an anticipated revenue of six and a half million. There was no reason to suppose that the ma jority had changed their viewpoint Some thought that actually back of the move for a special session was a plan to continue the gross sales tax, proceeds from which now goes into the Veterans fund. This fund raised by April and according to present law, the tax will be dis continued at that time However, a special sesiosn could continue the tax and direct it into the general fund which is at present badly de- pleted. There were other reasons why a special session might be more costly thaH fruitmuIz One WAS that with the death recently of Os- car Gill, Speaker of the House, it would be necessary to hold a spe- cial election in the Third Division to fill the vacancy. This would run into considerable money in addi- tion to the actual cost of a session which is estimated to require from $5O,O0O to $8O.O00.

It was ex- pected Auditor Frank A. Boyle would seek reelection and report from Juneau said Harry DeLand, formerly with the tax department, had filed as a Democrat.

Under the present rule. adopted
at the 1916 conclave, club is re-
quired to keep all players for whom
they pay a bonus of 5000 or more
for signing.

drawback to the clubs, but 1t does
not work to the advantage of the

to bring the matter up for discus
sion at the annual meeting, and I
am hopeful of having support from
other clubs"
The Phillies have two promising
young pitchers that come under the
ruie-Curt Simmons and Charley
Bicknell. Pennock believes 1t would
be better if they had another year
of seasoning in class A or AA

That's 8 small measure of what

fable coach at Columbia, where win

but are not necessary.
The wolves don't howl at Colum-
ola. Many mentor has been
booted out of jobs elsewhere for
much better than the record Little
turned in from 1887 through 1914.
in that stretch the Light Blue won

for that sour spell were such years
as 1881 Glib, 1882 G-1-D, 1888

more games than they lost. He has
had seven losing seasons and one

In 1888, Columbia won eight and
lost one, the defeat coming at the
hands Of Fritz Crisler's Princeton
Tigers, only major eleven to boast
a perfect record that season. Prince

and fast and was led by brilliant
Bobby Grayson. But the Lions put
over a touchdown early that brought
an incredulous gasp from the massed
thousands and then held onto their
TO edge the rest of the way.
That was Columbia's biggest day
on the gridiron until last Saturday.
Before coming to Columbia, how
ever, Little had quite a reputation
as an upset artist. Probably the
