brotherhood Week

And certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him,
saying, Master what shall do to inherit eternal fe?'
And He, answering said "Thou shalt love the Lord Thy
God, with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with
all thy strength and with all thy mind and thy neghbor
myself"
Certainly, think of Brotherhood Week, we
shall make effort to advance it's cause but should
it be restricted to week? Would it not be better if
emphasized everyday brotherhood? Would not our
lives be effective indcatives of Christ if we daily
tried to love neighbors as ourselves?

There are specific ways of advancing the of
Brotherhood Regretably the Christian church tardy
in answering the challenge in the movement toward real

We, as individuals, be instrumental in the real

You ask what then? Can your mind conceive the

Several weeks ago in summing up the situation on

of beer beverage From this article came number of
of liquor?"that is, beverages of an intoxicating
nature In answer to these inquiries, I'd like use this
weeks discussion to anayze the situation as see it, on
the liquor question.
In the beginning, I'd like to state that all of the

In the under discussion it would seem to me
that the question should deal with the WISE liquor
rather than the fighting of it's existence number
people and organizations have done unsuccessfully
throughout the years Liquor taken in moderation adds
to mans pleasure and happinessand quite often

agent. Of when its is abused tragedy can

life? Fire may be protective agencies in the hands
of soldiers and other defenders of andbut in the
hands of wanton killer they become instruments of evil
So also is the story of much of the drugs and medicines

After looking these facts it would seem that
parents Christian leaders, and others who seek to help
people to make the best of their lives could render
splendid program of service to those whom they seek
help, by initiating campaigns projects that deal with
teaching people the need of drinking in moderation-par

Bag Limits for Waterfowl Almost Same as in 1853

The 1854 waterfowl hunting season will open Sept. every where in Alaska except the First Division and the Kodiak-Afognak Islands, according to advices re- ceived here.
 Regulations and bag limits for this year are almost identical with those of last year. The season will close Nov. IA.
 Bag and possession limits, ac- cording to the summary of the 1854 regulations received here, are:
 Game ducks: Seven a day and IA in possession; geese: 3 and G.; mergansers: 25 and no limit after first day; old squaw, harlequin, scoter, and cider: 10 of each or total of all kinds and 20 of each or total of all kinds; brandt: 3 and 6.
 The season on jacksnipes runs from Sept. l to Sept. 15. The bag limit is eight, and the possession limit is the same. There is no open season on other shore birds.
 Hunting hours also are the same as they were last year: from noon to sunset on opening day, and thereafter from a half hour before sunrise to sunset.
 It still is unlawful to shoot waterfowl with a rifle or pistol, but bow and arrow is legal weapon. Shotguns must be plug ged to maximum three-shell capacity.
 Hunting from power boat dn- cluding outboards when the motor is attacheO or a sailboat is pro- hibited, unless the boat is fasten- ed within or tied alongside a sta- tionary hunting blind.
