Last evening at the Methodist
Church, licv. Duane Karl Carter con
tinued his series of sermons on The
Parables of Jesus. The subject of the
discourse was, “The Two Founda
tions." The parable is recorded in the
seventh chapter of Mathew, verses 24
- 27, inclusive. It is told as a condus
on to the long: and masterly discourse
known as the Sermon on the Mount,
lesus says to his audience:—
“Every one therefore that heareth
these words of mine, and doeth them,
shall be likened unto a wise man, who
built his house upon the rock: and the
'•ain descended, and the floods came.
and the winds blew, and beat upon
that house; and it fell not: for it was
founded upon the rock. And every orv'
that hearoth these words of mine, and
docth them not, shall he likened unto
a foolish man, who built his house up
on the sand: and the rain descended,
and the floods came, and the winds
blew, and smote upon that house; and
»t. fell; and great was the fall there
of.”
* J»i one sense these two men built
upon the same foundation, said Rev.
Carter. “The sand has practically the

that the rock is the sand cemented

dash and beat in vain. The rock is im

(M es.scd a communieaton to the city
council, which was read Saturday
night, stating that he did not believe
the city needed a regular attorney,
nd a’so paying a do ?p compliment to
City Clerk Estes. The communication
vas as follows:
The Honorable Mayor and Members
)■' the Common Council,
Town of Seward, Alaska.
Tintlemen:-*
in the opinion of the undcrs’gnca.
the affairs of the Town of Seward do
not require the services of a regular
ly retained attorney. I am willing to
render any assistance and give ad
vice to the various officials of the
Town in matters effecting the com
munity and make the usual and ordi
nary charge for such services, render
ing a statement monthly of any ser
vice so performed. I will also , for the
established fee, present in Court de
linquent tax roll, and generally super
vise any sale of the property for de
linquent taxes.
The proposition contained herein
is made in the interests of economy
and because of the fact that the ex
perience of the City Clerk, of the past j
year qualifies him to act without be- j
ing compelled to refer to a City At- j
torn°y the many innumerable matters
of detail upon which I was called to j
give advice during the last year.
I have prepared for your consider
ation a resolution directing the Clerk
of this Town tq cause tQ be published
*hc delinquent tax roll for the year
lUii). 1 suggest you p~s» die same un
der suspeiis.on 01 the ru»cs so that the
thirty day peiiod of pubntavion will
lun at once, and th.»t the .on may be
submitted for adjustment and order
of sale durmg the May term to be
held by Judge Brown at Valdez.
Yours Respectfully,
