rally in Governors Hall on the
State Fairgrounds. He told the
audience of more than l, 100 per-
sons that mankind is in a state
of futility and Illustration be-
cause much of the world is try
ing to live Independently of God.
The General asked what makes
the difference between people
who practice deceit and the five
Missionaries who were killed by
primitive Ecuadorian Indians
while trying to teach Christian
hy. He answered his own ques-
ton by saying, Jesus Christ,
that's all that makes the differ
encew He pointed out that per-
sons who sin are not without
hope The debt of sin was paid
once for all by the Saviour on
the cross. He paid with His life
the wages of sin which is death,
the general said. But God rails
ed Jesus from the dead and sent
Him to unite God and man for
ever. Jesus offers salvation from
sin, but this gift is of no value
unless we accept it. Yes. the
General is right, the price has
been paid, redemption is pos
sible, but we must personally
apply for it by acceptance of
Jesus Christ. Tell me, have you
yielded your life to Him?

Erskine Collection Of Rare Documents Includes Signatures Of US. Presidents

Collecting old letters and docu- ments bearing the signatures of many important names in history was the hobby of Wilbur Julian Erskine, a fact well-known to those familiar with the former business man of Kodiak.
 Erskine, who died in 1948, left an estate valued at $335,000 Collect ing autographs of presidents and other great personalities was his hobby. The documents were kept in a suitcase in the former Bank of Kodiak, now a branch of the Ma tional Bank of Alaska.
 What happened to those docu- ments and other rare papers is told in story appearing Monday in the Anchorage Daily Times. The article is printed in part here
 David, Pree, Anchorage attor- ney, left the other day with his briefcase packed with a collection of rare documents. Pree will de liver them to heirs in San Fran cisco.
 Pree said no value was estab- ished for the autograph collection. Other Erskine properties were sold and the funds divided among the heirs. Delivery of the rare papers will terminate the liquidation of the estate.
 The documents include:
 George Washington's signature on a letter in 1779 to a friend who had sent him dictionary the friend had complied.
 Benjamin Franklin's signature appears as notary on a petition for bankruptcy in Philadelphia in 1787.
 James Monroe as president and captured by the Union army It is in answer to questions about the soldiers condition and location. As
