My First Sunday in Skagway
Ten thirty came, but no bell.
rang. Then eleven, but sti.ll iiq
bell. That seemed strange. I has
tened over to the church, only; a
few people were there—no ohildJren.
Everybody tunned around and stared
while I took a back seat im, a com-j
er next to my brother.. Bresenlty;
a wcman came in with a child I
judged to be tea or eleven. She
was a very prim, precise woman, but
a? i'-e child, hanging on to her
iiio; '.er's ami, turned her head at
"very third step, "sizing me up," tha
thought came to me, "X wonder
vvio that 'pawky' kid is!" No soon
er had she taken her seat than she
jumped up and came over to me.
"Hello, my name is Frances and
tiia''s your second name too, I
know, 'cause mother said so." Such
was her greeting. In the few
minutes beforg service began the
main facts impressed on my mind
were that she wag eight years old,
would be nine next year, and she
would call for me for school the
uext morning.
Church was filially over and. a
few children, came for Sunday
school. A tali, slim, dark girl was
introduced to mo as Gertrude Lld
dicoa'. "Gracious," I thought,
"T wonder if shell ever stop grow
ing!" Three or four other girls
then entered who were promptly;
»nd formally introduced1 after1 which
King Silence reigned, Looking out
of tlie window for something to,
sav ->\e spied a girl running at
full speed, jvith golden hair all
flying after Jier. "Oh, there's El
len with her hair in cu'rls," whis
kered Gertrude. "She's hurrying
today so she can meet the preacher's
kids before Sunday school begins."
We all laughed. The door opened!
«nd Ellen, not noticing me, whim
pered, "Where's the preacher's
kids? Gertrude sent out a warn
ing. "My, she must be an awfiul
tomboy!" was my next thought.
In a few minutes the ceremonies
were over and it was time for Sun
day school to begin. Seventeen was
thg number present. "In Seward
we had twice as many and it isn't
nearly as large as Skagway," I
s?id to one of the girls., She made
no comment. "Will I ever get used
to them?" I asked mysel. "There're
so different from Seward girls."
Needless fo say, my first impres
sions have all been, changed.
