to impress upon the minds of his disci
ples the imperative necessity of so
preparing themselves that they will be
•ver ready to meet any conditions that
iuuj arise. To illustrate his point Jes
ts gives them the parable of the Ten
Virgins, using for that purpose a dc
cription of an occurrence with which
ihey were perfectly familiar.
•‘Five of the virgins, said Rev. Car
re* . “were said to ho wise because they |
had been fore-handed and ready for \
the event anticipated. Five are term- j
i d foolish because of their failure to
provide in advance the things that
would give them entrance to the fe.-t
vitios the y wished to enjoy.
“The lesson to be derived from this
parable, is not that God arbitrarily
huts men out from the enjoyment of
he higher life, hut that men themsol
\c< by neglecting to cultivate their
spiritual natures gradually but surely
.suffer spirtual atrophy. They have
closed the door by which they might |
have entered into the joys of the high
it life. As it is elsewhere stated. “For;
whosoever bath, to him shall be given,
*\d he shall have abundance: but who
mever hath not. from him shall be,
taken away even that which he hath.”

I LI AT NKNANA
Work has practically boon shut
down on the government railroad at
Xonana because of the prevalence of
influenza in the camps of that divis
ion. This is according to advices
brought out by passengers who passed
hrough on the Alameda. The influen
za is iu a mild form and no fatalities
are reported. Engineer in Charge,
Frederick D. Browne, is one of the
victims.
GARDENING IN SEWARD
Guidon truck was planted in many
Sewaid gardens yesterday, the wcath
r being ideal for out ot door work.
Larger gardens seem to be the plan
u Seward this year and potatoes and
•egetables will be planted in greater
quantities. Onions seem to be a staple
product for the coming year as both
Brown & Hawkins and Gus Borgen re*
port they have each sold 100 pounds
>f onion sets.
IMPROVEMENT AT NOME
The Alaska bureau of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce is advised by
Lieutenant Colonel J. A. Woodruff of
die United States engineers that there
will be available for the improvement
,>f Nome harbor this summer approxi
mately $115,000, which will construct
the west jetty and complete dredging
of the inner harbor. The engineering
dcpaitment is prepared to push this
work with all possible speed. Engi
neer K. L. Carpenter will leave for
Nome on the first boat. This im
p-.ovement will afford a safe landing
for small craft at all times during
the open season. Nome is only 140
miles from Siberia, and her merchants
are alive to the golden opportunity
