 Golden Text: Jeremiah. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith. the Lord
 The following selections are taken from the Lesson-Sermon:
 From the Bible: And I saw an- other mighty angel come down from Heaven. clothed with cloud; and the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to Heaven, and sware by him that liveth forever and ever that there should be time no longer. CRevelation)
 From Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. by Mary Baker Eddy: "One moment of di- vine consciousness, or the spiritual understanding of life and love, is 2 foretaste of eternity. This exalted view. obtained and retained when the science of being is understood would bridge over with life diseerned spiritually the interval of death and man would be in the full con scfousness of his immortality and eternal harmony, where sin, sick ness and death are unknown. Time is a mortal thought, the diyisor of which is the solar year. Eternity i Gods measurement of soul-filled years. Cpage 598)

Foster Letter
 Don c. Foster, recently deposed head of the Alaska native service wrote to MT. Heurlin at Barrow, in- structing him to proceed to Vain wright, Point Law, Point Hope, Xiv alina, Noorvik and Noatak and to get the voting precincts established. He would be advised later, the letter said, on the proper procedure. The letter also instructed him to de- liver the information to the teachers at the stations he visited. That was all taken care of and they all went away with the votes as instructed.

At Anchorage on August 28 the Territorial highway engineer, addressing the mayors conference, asserted that we must double the fuels tax and this position was like wise affirmed by the Democratic treasurer of Alaska, Henry Roden. His main reasons seem to be that he would like to spend more money and that the various states collect higher gas taxes. As seems to be customary with Democrats, no men, tion was made of the high cost of
