the chapel, - He left on the St.Paul for Seattle and the east
sets to raise in a short time $10,000.00 for.his work.
We rejoice to note that Hr. Henry A. Pevear of Lynn, Mass, is to build,
equip, and endow a home for orphan boys. The endowment will yield $10,000,00
yearly. What a saving of strength, labor, and worry it would "be to our..
faithful officers in Boston, if some steward of the Lord's money would endow
this orphanage with $100,000.00. Why could it not be"done? Will you help?

Thousands of people will go to Nome this spring. The great majority of
them would be better off financially, morally, physically, and mentally, if
they would give their money to the mission cause and stay at home, Those who
ought to know say there will be little chance for a new.goner except as a
laborer. The whole country Is staked some of it many times.
