ROMANCE:
A six week’s romance ended i- Sew
ard last Thursday night at P o'clock
and it was not until yesterday thai
the secret of the affair leaked out.
Six weeks ago Elizabeth C »rmne
Van Slyke, a young lady of IP who
arrived in Seward seve n meet
met Clarence George Alexand. .
electrician at the radio station at the
head of the bay. Dan Cupid did
even have time to draw his an*
it was a case of love at first
and the aforesaid Dan tossed up h:s
hands and just said: “gosh. It started,
it is on and it has ended, sath'.u
orily.” And Dan did not have to keoj
watch either for he knew full well
that two hearts were beating as one
and two persons had but one though!
and the deal was cinched.
Last Thursday night the two onovo
mentioned individuals, aceorr- >nnie 1
by J. P. Hannon, Margaret Romig
and Mrs. Van Slyke went to tho oT'c
of Acting U. S. Commissioner Dr.
j. H. Romig, secured a marring*1 ’’ ,rin
se and then Dr. Romig officiated a*
the tying of the proverbial knot. Pm
mum was to he the word for Alex
ander had a bet up with Adams, o<
the Radio station that when h- did
get married he could keep it secret
longer than 15 minutes, as in Adams
case. Then again, the newly weds did
not want to make announcement un
til Sunday, anyway. Andeven then the
announcement did not come elT
expected. Mr. and Mrs. Alexando
intended to slip out on yesterday
morning’s train and upon their return
last night make the statement that
“they were one”. Put the “one” miss
ed the train, they were caught and
there will probably be the noise of tin
cans, etc,, at the raido station tonight
by the boys from the V. S. S. Saturn.
Mr. Alexander denies that V' wa
trying to race with Adams to se
which one would secure the last re
maining cottage at the radio station.
Mr. and Mrs. Alexander are well
known among the younger set, the
bride having taken part in many
social functions. Mr. Alexander has
been in the service ten years and 'mi
been stationed at the radio static"
since last November. If Mr. Alexand
er is transferred, the newly weds wi”
probably make their future home in
Portland.

“Christian Science, the Liberator
of Mankind," was the title of a lec
.uve delivered at the Liberty theatre
Vest *rday afternoon at 4 o’clock by
iom Uandnll Dunn, member of the
board of lectureship of the mother
chuivh at Boston. Mr. Dunn is nuik-,
1 injr a tour of Alaska and the lecture
hmc was under the auspices of the
Christian Science Society ot Juneau. I
Mr. Dunn is a most able speaker, has
I ,i : plendid voice and fluent- delivery.
I i he lecture was introduced by T. T. |
i it m.se, of the IT. S. S. Saturn.
The following experts are from the
I*?: ture given yesterday:
The widespread interest in the sub
jeet of Christian Science, .in this and
: ether lands, is traceable directly to
| the fact that enslaved mortals* are
1 finding in its spirtual teaching that
j liberatir graphically p ictured. by
Isaiah as sent “to preach good tidings
! unto the meek; . . .to bind upon tho
brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to
I’he captives, and the opening of the
prison to them that are bound." The
attempts of some misinformed critics
to prove that Christian Science is not
this liberator, that the sick are not
healed, the sinning reformed, nor the
A
oivowing comforted through its rnin
i.nations, ait* of course if little mo
ment in the presence ot an ever in
casing host of witnesses testifying
10 liu1 iact that whereas they were
hound physically, mentally, or mor
ally, now they are experiencing
through the teachings of Christian
•science a greater measure of health,
freedom, and happiness than they
have ever known.
What would those who fancy viiem
• elves opposed to this spirtual teach
ing have its students do ! Would ihoj
ask the man who states, and whose
tumily coroborates his statement, that
he has been freed from the torments
of alocholism, to go back to his appet
ite and his bondage? Would they bid
the infidel who through Christian Sci
ence lias become a believer,in and lov
er oftlie Bible, discard the holy volum
and tread again his cheerless, godless
load? Would they bring back painand
anguish which in the cases of thou
sands of men and women and little
children has been banished by the
touch of this healing evangel? Surely
this is- no time* to oppose uu vuming
to saddened humanity of a spirtual
message the certain effect of which is
the uplift and comfort ot mankind.
It might he recommended, therefore,
to those whq feel called upon to rid
icule and revile the Christian Scient
ists, that perhaps the safest and most
Christian attitude lor them to assume
is to he found in Gamaliel s sound ad
vice to the would-be persecutors of
the apastles as recorded in the fifth
chapter of Acts: “And now I say unto
you, Refrain from these men, and let
them alone: for if this counsel or this
work be of men, it will come to
