PUBLIC FUNERAL
IS TRIBUTE TO
BEAD DEPUTY
An ebullient eulogy was delivered
xesterday afternoon at the Arctic
P.rotlu rhood hall by Rev. J. L. Hughes
at the public funeral services of Isaac
Kvans.
•*A good man has passed out from
us." said Rev. Hughe-. “T1'' was a
great officer, and stood io» law and
order, lit* has answered the call « *
dut\ from Wrangell to Point Harrow.
He always stood square and no bette
friend was even known. He was gif *
od with rare conception. He made \
host of friends and they are tod"
paying tribute to his memory. H a
death gives us a true picture of a man
who died for his country. Vie died for
liberty and as Robert Service has said:
‘he played the game.’ Ho died as 1 “
had lived clean, and brave and true.
As a husband his life was the highest,
h»* being loyal, tender and true, fo the
wif»> out goes our true sympathy."

• The choir of the Methodist Church
gave their usual song service last ev
ening. A goodly number of people
were present and all thoroughly ap
preciated the service by the choir and ,
the solo by Mr. W. Engberg.
The church service was conducted i
by Rev. J. L. Hughes who lias recently ,
returned from over seas where he
served his country along with many
of tin* other hoys in the endeavor to
make this earth a happier place to
live, and now that the war is ended he
is continuing to help the world and
especially the people of Alaska by
giving tjiem messages of good cheer
from the life and teaching of Jesus
Christ.
The scripture lesson read by Rev. j
Hughes was from the second chapter*
of the second letter of Paul to Timothy
who was being instructed to tak«’ up
and carry on the work which Paul was 1
soon to g/vo over to other hands. The |
words of the text were. “Remembe
Jesus Christ.”
Rev . Hughes gave a brief an I
practical outline of the characteristic* ■
of Jesus and also touched uj%n some i
of tin* points in the life of Paul. It j
was the kind of message that helps to j
Pinko life blighter for all who take
advantage of the opportunity to re
ceive the message.
