THIS COINTK1 GO TO
CHl'KCH. WHY DO.VX
VOL'
TLc example that is set when, a
ttrcue-, successful m;iu goes to
church Is more poteut than the
most eU<juent sermon.
And, to the credit of the strong,
successful men in this country, let
it V said that the great majority
t:o to church. Whon, you go to
church next Sunday take a look
about you. You'll find that the
I yws are occupied by the real wort
while men of the community.
Still, there are rnea who will in
ornate that the church is for wonie
ai.d weaklings. Those who stay
away are the weaklings. The gretl
leaders in every line of endeavor
invariably have been men of deep
re'.igious convictions. Som© of
thi mej who are disposed to treat
1'i.atlv the go to church) movement,
wheu asked if they belitve iu God,
become indignant. Of course they
he Uve in a Supreme Being. They
will no; deny that the church is the
hruse of God. Still, with their p.o
i s-sed belief in a God and their
■i-Kriovledgment that the church, is
trie House of Gcd, they uo not go
to church. jjj i
G^i.ig to church do-.'s net entail
any grea: inconvenience. It doesn't
r 1'iire any groat sacrifice. All that
is required is a ve.-v small part of
oua day in seven. Theman or wo
rn in w: o profe-.sca Christianity and
do. ? not go to church Sunday is no
rru.-iiea; in his belief. Ask any
!>pr«on who is a regular attendant
hon he feels when he misses di
vine worship.
Therp isn't a hamlet in the Un
ited States that has not been reach
ed by the go to church' movement.
The response to the go to church
appeal was spontaneous;. Hundreds
of thousands who. while they never
lost i eir religion, but had grown
ca, t'fss and indifferent, were rous
ed. X^w that the praiseworthy
mcvemctt is swinging, keep it so.
Be as enthusiastic today as
jou were on the first day that you
f-u:c!led in the go to church, move
ment.
Taik ud go to church every
rhnnce that offers.
Church attendance moans better
citizenship.
So rrnny contradictory reports
have teen sent broadcast about
the German merchant diver, Bremen
t'iat editors are becoming leary
about publishing a story with the
mce Bremen attached.
External evidence cf Skagway's
being the Garden City of Alaska,
will have to be shifted to the
hot house, if this kind of weather
ke?t>s vp. Jack Frost nipped a
few iholce bud3 around the gar
dens last night.
What, has happened at Cape St.
E'.ias In the way of providing aids
to navigation should happen at all
cf the dangerous points in waters
where Alaskan boats ply.
There Is no better way to keep
your cemmunity before the general
publle than by the use of the
newspaper. It is a forcmner of the
condifons and happenirgs In your
city. The Dally Alaskan reaches (
poln's from the Pacific Coast to
lie Atlantic. Any successful
tewspaper must have the co-opora
lon of its readers, advertisers, and
he sentiment oj the genral public,
o whom it carriea its daily mes
age.
The domestld sciencs classes of
he Skagway public school ore
urniug out some mighty fine cooks,
xoou cooks usually mean, good;
lousekeepera and) good twus^keep
srs, lu 'he majority of cases, means
i well balanced and,1 happy homo.
Teaching boy* to> become useful
iud educating them to the usq of
tools a ad tb<* manufacture of use
!ul articles to be used in the
lome, business and community in
whirh they U*e, is the work that is
aeiu^; done in, the manual training
:lasses at the public) schools. Ser
•uteea bright, young felloiwa aro
sutered in the classes training for
this branch of citizenry .
Let us ho*pe that the amalgama
tion of two of th« big steamship
;ompauies operating on the Pacific
Ccas» will mean increased efficlono

HI CHURCH
WES CHANGE
Three years agoj the Protestant
congregations in) Skagway united iu
asking »he Pre^byte<rlan, the Epis
copal, and thej Metliodistj Episco
pal Home Mission Boards to "get
•ogether" and seudl a minister to
ttii# place, pledging suppoit aud co
operation for a term of tlwee years.
Before united action] cculd be t^Ji
eu, Bishop> Cooke had announced
he would re-opeq tliq Methodist
Church here, and a little later sent ,
'ha present pastcu\ Th? three year
period has now about expired.
When the Homq Mission Commit
tee of *he Alaska, Pret/byte-j-yJ visit
ed this pi-ace last summer, a care
ful inspection of Skagway caused
them to recommend! their Church
resume local work lor a number of
reasons, among which are: the
large increase of residents mem
bers of that Church, their material
«nd personal co-operation, in, carry
ing on .Church work and that Skag
way ia peculiarly strategic and im
por'ant to that Church. Thg Pres
byterian Church is expending albout
eighty thousand dollars in Alaska
thlir year; and «■£ active and effe
cient Church! in this place jvill aid
their whole Alaska^ work because
of the large number of tourists
stopping here who are members of
and contributors! to that Church.
Arrangements have been made
between the superintendents of eac
of the above! churches in Alaska;
and the Methodist Churchl does
not appoint a pastor to Skaagwy
this year. Beginning with October
fir J. tomorrow-, the Presbyterian
Church resumes its work in Skag
ws» pleasant arrangements have
been consummated for the Sunday
and other services continuing with
out interruption! in the Methodist
Church building. Rev. Mr. Ped
ersett, who has beenj the pastor the
past three years, has been asked to
fill the pulpit pi the Presbyterian
Church, and has consented to do
bo tor a year as a "supply;" he
■till ni?intalns his official relation
to the Metnodist Church. Up to
Augus* 12th he expected to move
to Ketchikan the first of October.
Serv.'ces will continue as here
tofore, the only changes being soma
slight ones iu the machinery of
the local Church. Plans for the
winter and enlarged/ activities for
the coming season, will be announc
ed iu due time.
