Qeological 8urvey Department
Defines Rook at Request
of IVIiner
The United States Geological
Survey is one of the most use
ful and active departments of the
government. There is scarcely
any class of information or map
of the different sections of the
country which is not readily fur
nished on application with more
than the usual promptness of
government departments.
Miners are beginning to real
ize I his fact more fully and are
taking advantage of the oppor
tunity to secure information on
subjects about which Uiere has
been some discussion.
Mr. John Kinil, of Valdez, wrote
the department concerning sev
eral matters and asked for a de
finition of t,he term "graywacke,"
which is described as follows:
"(Sraywacke, about which you
inquire, may be defined as sand
stone in which the particles in
stead of being almost wholly
quartz cemented by calcite are
quartz, feldspar and dark colored
minerals or small particles of
slate, etc. The rock is usually
dark gray in color and sometimes
takes on a cleavage like slate.
Around Valdez bay slate and
graywacke beds are interstrati
tled and many of the hard round
ed boulders and cobbles of the
streams are graywacke. It does
not split up so easily, as the slate
when pounded about in the wa
ter and for that reason is pre
served better than slate. If brok
en, so a« to show a fresh sur
face, the rock will be seen to bo
much coarser grained than slate
and to be made up of fino parti
cles. Black patches of slate are
sometimes found in it, some of
which may measure an inch or
more across. Slate and gray
wacke may grade into each oth
er so that specimens may be tak
en which it would be difficult to'
designate a« either one or the
other."

SERMON FOR
STAY-AT-HOMES
Sermon Delivered in Congrega
tional Church 8unday Ev
ening
The Rev. J. Hunting Johnson
took for his subjeet Sunday ev
ening, "Genuine Religion." His
text, "God is a spirit and they
who worship Him must worship
Him in spirit ami in truth."—
John iv:24. The Lord Jesus had
traversed a long distance in the
great heat of I he Eastern sun
and at mid-day reached Jacob's
well, where lie sat down to rest
while His disciples went into the
town nearby lo purchase some
food. In the inlcVim a woman of
Samaria came to draw water. The
Master accosted her for a drink.
She was astonished I hat He, be
ing a Jew, should ask a drink of
her a Samaritan woman, for
there was no dealing between the
Jews and Samaritans, consequent
upon the fact that the Samaritans
were heathens sent from Babylon
to colonize Samaria after I he
Jews' captivity, who, through tlie
influence of the few Jews re
| maining and by the trading of a
priest, adopted the Jewish relig
ion, but never really fors -ok their
uiolatri us practices. Thus when
!.;.<• larger body of Jews returned
from captivity and b"-*cn to re
build Jerusalem, the Samaritans
olTered assistance, but they were
snubbed and would not be recog
nized in any way. Thus a bit!.e»*
enmity sprang up that increas
ed as vears went by, so that at the
time of Christ, the Samaritan wo
man was amazed that He should
speak to her, much more ask a
favor. This gave the Master a
'-aluable opportunity to instruct
tile t.rring woman in the true
principles of vital religion. In
reply she made much of tradi
tions, place and custom,. Jesus
revealed lo her that forms and
places were of no importance. But
that facts and experience were all
important. God was nol confined
lo persons, places or ceremon
ies. (Sod was a spirit, not a cor
poreal or material presence. Hi1
was vital life, supreme intelli
gence, unerring in wisdom, un
fathomable in love, rich in mercy,
almighty in power, infinite in
purity—the eternal Jehovah.
To know whom we must place
ourselves in the right attitude of
mind and heart. Places, tradi
tions, forms, ceremonies would
not bring us into vital touch with
the living God, but attitude of
ii11iki ana neari would. There
must be reality, sincerity. Thus
Jesus revealed to the woman her
true character until she abhored
herself and turned from herself
to Him in genuine confession and
acceptance. Whereupon she went
into the town testifying that she
had found the Messiah, who had
revealed to her her own real life
and made known to her God in
verity. So today there must b<5
reality in religion. A coming in
to personal touch with Christ, a
realization of our own true con
dition, a turning from ourselves
to the Christ whom we accept as
our Savior and go forth testify
ing by our changed characters
that we have come into personal
contact with the living Christ.
What was neded in tho world
| today was not forms, creeds,
coromonies or theoretical relig
ion, but a practical manifesta
tion in our daily walk and con
versation that religion was a vi
tal force in our lives. The world
was sick of shams and make-be
lieves and wanted reality.
Thorefore let us show our re
ligion by our practices and then
men would believe in our genu
ineness. Accept the Savior not
only as our redeemer, but as our
lifo and example, manifesting
His, character by His spirit op
erating through us. This can on
ly be exemplified by sincerity and
reality on our part. Sincerity in
repentance, sincerity in faith,
sincerity in practice.
