BE ETERNALLY ON GUARD
Alaskans should beat* in mind at all times that the
United States is at war with a first class power, that any
thing is fair in war according to the Prussian standard;
that the country is swarmng with spies and potential
spies; that some Americans are lacking in loyalty, while
a few—God forgive them—are potential traitors, not only
to their neighbors, but to their country and the human
race itself and finally that any move no matter how hair
brained or seemingly improbable to destroy American
lives and property may be expected.

FARMING IN ALASKA
Alaska should not be overlooked in the developing
plans for mobilizing the agricultural resources of the
country. The engineers building the government railroad
have contracted with the farmers for 13,000 bushels of po
tatoes to be delivered this summer. The possibilities of
Alaska for crops have scarcely been scratched, and the
government is inviting homesteaders to settle in the south
ern regions.
The great territory is not all an ice box. It has a long
coast line on the temperate Pacific, as well as on the froz
en Arctic. Men go up there to mine and remain to farm,
or raise stock. In many regions the plow turns up gold
more easily than the pickax.
The government railroad is being built not to bring
out gold, but coal and copper, and for miles around it lies
a salubrious valley. It is a country that needs only set
tlers with the utensils of agriculture to produce, perhaps,
as much wealth as the coal and copper deposits represent.
It is cold in winter, of course—so it is in New England—
but it’s warm in summer. The weather records of the past
winter show that the temperature averaged milder at the
port of Seward than at New York. And they claim that
they pick strawberries in the Matanuska valley as early
as we do in Rhode Island. We are prepared to believe
anything of the wonderland, Alaska.—(Providence Jour
nal.)
BILLY SUNDAY SAYS
A revival is needed when the worldly spirit is in the
church of God. It isn't necessary to do something grossly
inconsistent. A ship is all right in the sea, but all wrong
when the sea is in her. The church of God is all right in
the world, but all wrong when the world is in the church.”
An angel of heaven couldn't come to New York and
live two weeks and loaf with the people you loaf with, and
then return to heaven without first being disinfected and
fumigated and given a carbolic bath.
You cannot find Christ’s representatives in the sa
loons and brothels; yet how few in the church really rep
resent Christ. If the disciples at Pentecost had been like
the church today there would have been no protracted
prayer meeting. No dances and parties interrupted Pen
tecost. No one pulled out a watch or was afraid to stay
after 9 o’clock.
I’m often asked why I don’t preach against the Catho
lics. I always reply: “I find too much dirt, cards and bot
tles in our own protestant backyards. It keeps me busy
with the muckrake."
The newspaper is irresistible if it lines up on the side
of right. It is as dangerous as a famine if it veers to the
wrong side. You can’t stop an honest newspaper any more
than you can dam Niagara with toothpicks and hairpins.
