Beautiful Places Of Worship
America was founded by religious people and all
through its two hundred years growth its people have
taken pride in its beautiful places of worship.
Nome was founded by fortune seekers, yet from
its founding, churches have been prominent in its
growth.
Records show that the missionaries came before
the gold seekers and were already established in this
area when the gold rush began.
The first Lutheran missionaries stopped in what
was later to be Nome as early as 1894. Their work
spread to the north of Nome and into the villages of
Teller, Shishmaref, Teller Mission, Mary’s Igloo and
other places. As, the families from these villages
migrated to Nome for work, schooling and other rea
sons the Lutheran Church in 1943 decided to make
Nome its headquarters for its work in Northern Alaska.
Their church which is being formally dedicated
Sunday is a beautiful place of worship and one of the
finest in the territory.
All the people of this community, of all denomi
nations point with pride to this new religious struct
ure which is another step in the changing of the ap
pearance of Nome from a community of temporary
buildings to those of lasting and enduring construction.
Those in Nome who have faith in the future of
Alaska are investing in its growth and each new build
ing means a better place in which to live.
Pastor Knudson’s leadership in putting the pro
gram of Our Savior’s Lutheran Church into effect
and’ organizing its various groups has been largely
responsible for its steady growth and development in
■the community.

A Dog Can Teach Us Lessons
A man in Okemah, Oklahoma,
wishing to visit a town in Texas,
wrote ahead to the proprietor of
a motel for reservation, and
asked if he could bring along his
dog.
He received a surprising and
pleasing reply. It said: “We have
never had a dog fall asleep in
bed smoking, and burn our bed
ding up. We have never had a
dog spill alcoholic drinks all
j over the furniture and ruin it.
We have never caught a dog
leaving the premises with a bath
towel, or pillow case belonging
to us. Sure, your dog is wel
come!”
What a sad commentary that
letter is on the manners of human
beings! Its implication is that
dogs have better manners than
people.
The motel proprietor is not
alone in making that implication.
The Lord Himself often exhorted
people to learn valuable lessons
from insects, birds, and *beasts.
He said: “Go to the ant, thou
sluggard; consider her ways and
be wise: which having no guide,
overseer, or ruler, provideth her
meat in the summer, and gather -
eth her food in the harvest.”
(Proverbs 6:6-8).
We do well to ask ourselves,
“How well do I know my Crea
tor, who has given me life, breath,
l and all things?
Do I know His love manifested
in the unspeakable gift of the
Lord Jesus Christ? “For God
so loved the world, that He
gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish, but have ever
lasting life” (John 3:16).
Have I accepted that Gift, and
thanked Him? “As many as re
ceived Him to them gave He
power to become the sons of
God, even to them that believe
on His name” (John 1:12). Have
I learned my A, B, C’s, from
nature.
Charlie Jones To
Celebrate 83rd Birthday
“You’re just as old as you feel”
stated Charlie Jones who will
have his 83rd birthday tomorrow
“and I don’t feel old” he added.
Jones, who is secretary for the
Pioneers, Igloo No. 1 can look
back through the records of that
organization and remember those
members who pioneered to Nome
at the turn of the century. He
has been active in politics since
1900 and is one of the two living
members of the First Territorial
Legislature in 1913.

Russia and West
Germany Sign
Trade Agreement
! BONN, Germany, UP) — Soviet
| Deputy Premier Anastas I. Mi
i koyan signed today the first
! agreements between the Soviet
Union and West Germany.
One covered a 375 million
! dollar exchange of trade over
the next three years, another
establishes consular representa
tives in Bonn and Moscow. For
eign Minister Heinrich Voo Bren
tano signed for Germany.
Mikoyan is the first high Sov
iet official to visit since the
Bonn republic was established in
1949.
Mikoyan, the top foreign trade
expert of the Soviet Union ar
rived in West Germany in a Sov
iet jet airliner. He promptly
began a verbal campaign for “an
atmosphere of trust” between
Russia and Chancellor Konrad
Adenauers staunchly pro-Western
government.
Von Brentano met Mikoyan
and his 11-man delegation as the
Soviet official stepped out of his
Russian jet transport.
“We hope these talks will lead
us closer to the solution of the
great problems,” said Von Bren
tano in an obvious reference to
the division of Germany.
Moscow has insisted Germany
can be reunified only if fhe ri
val West and East German states
talk it over directly. Adenauer
and the Western allies refuse to
recognize the East German re
gime and insist Germany must
be reunified by free elections ar
ranged by the Big* Four powers.
