THE DISCOVERY OF ALASKA -
 Boring Guides Good Ship Gabriel Along Foggy, Ice Bound Siberia Shore

consequently this proves that an iSthmus is highly improbable"
 The captain looked to the skv always dark and heavy with clouds.
 We will hold our course for two more days" he went on, "and if by that time nothing occurs to change matters we will return. We have had bad weather, but the heavens above hold even worse and I'm not sure the GABRIEL. can take much more. And If that very ice under discussion should close in behind us, gentlemen, we will have to spend winter on those barren Shores"
 Both of the lieutenants made as if to speak, but the captain raised his hand to silence them. That" he declared firmly, lis the way it will be. And remember what said about sending you back to St. Petersburg"
 The young officers lapsed into silence, and this marked the be- ginning of truce that would even- tually mold into friendship as the years passed.
 On the evening of the second day, August 26th, Boring called his lieutenants far consultation.
 He pointed to a map that he had brought from St. Petersburg.
 According to this," he observed with trace of humor, we should be in the middle of the Siberian tundra.
 It is one of Joseph DeLiSle's creations, and as wrong as can be-" The captain raised his eyes Gentlemen, we are now at lati- tude 68 degrees and IS minutes north. We have sailed far enough along this coast to convince me that, as Alexi thought possible, we are not in a bay of any kind. This is the westward course of the Siberian continent. If we proceed far enough we will reach the mouth of the Ob River - impossible be- cause of the ice" Vitus smiled. T declare our mission accomplished, and we will return at once
 "If," commented Spangberg, we can."

 Before the protesting eyes of all, the great ice pack was moving toward shore directly in the path of the GABRIEL. Retreat was cut off

 The weather proved very bad for voyage of discovery. As the GABRIEL slowly groped through the choppy waves, none of the crew saw the Diomede Islands, although they did see St. Lawrence Island, and named it after the saint of the day.
 It was foggy much of the time, and one of the strangest facts of exploration resulted from this. Many times during their passage through Bering Strait, the voyag- CTS could have seen Alaska had the weather been decent. AS it was, they made the entire trip without ever knowing how close they had come.
 After several weeks of slow and patient navigation, Captain Boring rounded the Chukchi Peninsula, whence the GABRIEL course changed more to the west than north This indicated that they would be sailing away from Amer ica, since so far as anybody knew for all was guessWork, that con- tinent lay somewhere to the east.
 T think" said Spangberg, that we have proved the issue. The coast of Siberia obviously follows west, and an isthmus is very un likely
 But" objected Chirikov, i've should sail to the north more. We might be in large bay, or a con- tour of coastline leading to an isth- mus"
 Spangberg sneered. There is nothing out there but a continent of ice!"
 And what the Dane said, cer- tainly seemed true. A great mass of ice had been threatening the CAB REEL for several days. There seemed no end to it as 1t stretched north like a vast, white prairie for as far as the eye could see Bering had to skirt the lonely Si- berian shore plainly visible in the near distance.
 Alexi Chirikov's stubbornness came to the front. We don't know that it's all ice," he insisted. q believe we ought to find a way through"
 This brought a scowl to Spang berg's brow, and he rOared that if the expedition were left to Chir. ikov they would all be dead. Fur. ious, the Russian retaliated by say. ing foreigners were towards - ( statement that made him bite hi: tongue immediately. He had groWr to respect Vitus Boring, and hac no wish to offend him. | The captain heard the quarre and stepped between the combat ants.
 This is what we will do, gen. tlemen," he said, to keep the peace among us. If an opening appears ir the ice we will attempt to pas. through. I must add that I think this is polar ice and that il stretches clear across the polar cap. If so, we will not be able tc investigate it any further. Anc

Dillon Asserts Spending Rate Is Slowed

WASHINGTON LP - Secretary of the Treasury Douglas Dillon, a Republican. said today federal spending has grown at a slower rate during the Kennedy Admin istration than during the last three years Dwight D. Eisenhower was in the White House.
 In an exclusive Associated Press interview, Dillon said "It is hard to put spending tag on one ad- ministration as compared to a pre- vious one with that sort of record unless you are ready to attack de- fense and space"
 Dillon served under Eisenhower as undersecretary of state and was named to his present post by President Kennedy.
 He said he still is optimistic about chances for passage of the tax cut bill, which he said will do more for our economy and more for curing the balance of payments than any step I know"
 Dillon said he is counting on in creased public support in the next few weeks to speed Congressional action on the tax bill, which would provide for a reduction of about $11 billion in individual and corporate income taxes.
 Dillon believes that Brookings Institute report, which forecast that the basic imbalance would be corrected by 1868, was overly op- timistic on the trade side. Conse- quently, think we might do bet ter in some of the other areas as diverting more foreign aid buy ing to the United States
 Regarding the tax bill, he pre- dicted the most important support for 1t during the crucial Senate consideration will come from or ganlzed groups - the business community, for instance, and labor"

SOviets Dissect
 Ice from Space
By ANTHONY WHITE

MOSCOW R = Using the most modern scientific aids, Soviet ex- perts are busily trying to solve the mystery of the chunk of ice that fell to the earth last month. The most popular theory: It came from far out in space.
 Tass reported Saturday that a Complicated isotope analysis" could provide the final clue to the origin of the ice. Scientists have rejected theories that the ice fell from a high-flying plane or formed in the atmosphere.
 They are now working on the assumption that it was part of a huge lice meteorite" which sur vived entry into the earth's at mosphere
 The ice, weighing II pounds, hit the ground near a peasant woman working in an orchard at Domo- dedovo, near Moscow, Aug. 27, ac- cording to Soviet reports. It shat tered into several fragments which were preserved by covering them with rags.
 Tass said yesterday team in- vestigating the origin of the ice includes astronomers, glaciologists and geochemists.
 There are grounds to believe that the ice is of space origin, , they said. Science, it is true, does not know of any precedent.
 Theoretically, a meteor body of ice can exist in space. Latest studies confirm that there are frozen bodies in space.
 If we are to make an assump- tion about the space origins of the ice, then 1t might have flown from the outskirts of the solar system and rapidly disintegrated as it approached the earth.
 Under this theory, this chunk of ice is only an Insignificant frac- tion of the original mass"

WATCH AND PRAY:

w ~ ~AA AAANA< Ak@
1t is plainly stated here
that the day of the coming
of the Lord is unknown. It
is unknown by man. 1t is un-
known by angels. 1t is un-
known by the Son. Only the
Father knows when the Son
of man will return. The CON-
ing of the Son of man can be
compared with a man who
went on a long trip and left
his estate in the hands of serv-
ants. The doorkeeper was in
structed to stay on the watch
because he did not know when
the master would return. The
master could return in the
day, in the night, in the early
morning or late in the even
ing.
The return of Jesus Christ
rests in the hands of God the
Father. 1t is the Fathers good
pleasure to let Christ return
whenever He gets ready. The
important thing then is not to
get excited because the hour
of the return of Christ is not
known but to live in such a
way that no matter when
Christ comes you will be
ready to answer when He
calls.
PRACTICAL POINTS ON
THE LESSON:
In our lesson today Jesus
predicts the fall and destruc-
tion of Jerusalem, and also
tells of His Second Coming.
Jesus made it clear that the
time of His Second Coming
was uncertain. No one knows
when Christ will return but
the Father. Jesus suggested
two things to do until Christ
returns. The first thing was
to watch. The second thing
was to pray. We need to live
on the alert. To do this we
must stay awake. We must
stay awake mentally, spiritu
ally and morally. When we
are awake in these ways we
can discover when the things
which Jesus commanded us tC
observe are in danger of be
ing attacked and destroyed by
the forces of evil. We must
also pray as we watch. We
must pray that Gods will be
done on earth; that we will
accept Gods will in our owr
lives and let Him use us as in
StrumentS in His hands that
through us He can bring His
kingdom in earth.

not know the time of His
coming, it is well for men to
take heed to that which Christ
has said. Also, to watch and
live in readiness, and then to
pray that he may be counted
worthy to escape those things
which are to come to pass on
the earth.
1t will be great privilege
and honor to be ready and be
caught up to meet the Lord in
the air without dying.
THE SECOND COMING
OF THE SON OF MAN.
We have here a very vivid
picture of the return of Christ.
AS recorded here, preceding
His coming there will be a
period of tribulations. There
is to be the darkening of the
sun and moon and the falling
of the stars. This will take
place because the very power
in the heavens will be shaken.
We must not get so involved
in looking at the things pre-
ceding the coming of Christ
that we forget that Christ said
here in our text that He would
return. Jesus will return with
great power for all power,
both in heaven and on earth
was entrusted in His hands by
His Father after He rose form
the dead. In that day we
shall see Christ in all His
glory. He will command His
angels to gather fro mthe ends
of heaven and earth ali those
who accepted the free gift of
God, which was eternal life,
That life was made possible
through Jesus Christ Gods
only Son. The early Church
believed that Jesus would re.
turn. We believe today that
Jesus will keep His word, that
He will return and take from
labor to reward His glorious
Church.
A PARABLE OF THE FIG
TREE:
This very short parable was
used to help the disciples see
what Jesus was talking about
when He told of the deStruc-
tion of Jerusalem. This is
why Jesus said to them, when
you see the branches of the
fig tree become tender and be-
gin to put forth leaves, you
have the assurance that sum.
mer is very near. Likewise
when the disciples would see
their nation involved in wars,
led aStray by anti Christ and
false prophets and suppressed
by the Roman powers, they
could be sure of the destruc-
tion of Jerusalem. ALI other
things might fail, even heaven
and earth would pass before
the words of Christ would
fail. What Christ said about
the destruction of Jerusalem
could be depended upon. 1t
was the truth, Jerusalem was
destroyed. The signs of the
time are still visible today.
IEverytime right, justice, good
ness and mercy suffer this is
the handwriting on the wall,
this is evidence of the COM
ing destruction of a great ma
ltion. A sober mind will see
the signs of the times and
turn to Christ who is the only
hope and salvation uf all gen.
erations.
