A CONVL_S SERMON
r- -* '" m •• *;; v i >
The subject of the Sunday evening
sermon by Rev. Duane Earl Carter
was “The Evolution of a Sinner.” The
evolution might call it a reversion to
vpe; if w it was not to the type of
man created in the image of God. hut
rather to the low order of being that
is wholly selfish, seeking only to grat
ify low and covetous desires. The char
acter taken for the evening study was
Arhan, one of the Hebrews sent out
by Joshua to capture the city of Ai.
He saw a Babylonish mantle, and two
hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge
of gold of fifty shekls weight, he.
coveted them, took them and hid them
in his tent. Nothing is said about the
character of the other men, but Achon
represents the type of men who briiv
failure to any good enterprise.
“We do not all agree upon a defi
nition of sin, perhaps," said Rev. Car
ter, “but the one that seems to cover
the ground fairly well is sin ia selfish*
ness. Achan’s place was ia the battle
against the enemy. At such a time the
good soldier would see only the ways
and means for gaining a victory. Even
if Achon had chanced to see the gleam
of gold and silver as he deployed to
meet and resist the enemy the sm u
not in that but in his selfish and cove
tous heart. It has been aptly and tru
thfully said that a man sees what he
brings, means of seeing. Aehan
brought no broad vision of the welfare
of his people or either of his own im
mediate family. His heart Was wrong.
He was seeking selfish gratification of
the moment. which is as fleeting as
the snowfall on the river and thereby
bringing defeat to his people and de
struction to himself and his entire
family. Unfortunately for the^inno
cent sin in its effects never stops with
the one who commits it Paul had the
true conception when he said Whatso
ever things are true, whatsoever
things . are honoralie, whatsoever
things are'just, whatsovere things are
pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report;
* . i ■ • • •
if there be any virtue, and if there be
any praise, think on these things.”
Last night there were several new
faces among the Rev. Carter’s congre
gation; but even With the new addi
tions there were not enough people
This should Wot be. The Rev. Carter
delivers good sermons. They are time
ly. They dovetail with the actual
things we are living today. An hour
spent on* Sunday /evening with the
Rev. Carter is well worth while and
there is no single person in the town
of Seward who cannot be benefited
by attending the services. The movie
habit is much easier for some people
to develop than the hahTTof attending
church, but with the Liberty theatre
running two shows every Sunday
night there is no eicuse for any per
son not going to church if she or'he
really desires to do so. Noniater what
your retigious beliefs’ aie, whether you
are a Baptist, a Methodist, a Catho
lic, a Presbyterian, a Christian Sdea
ee advocate or a Mon-beUew you cat
not afford to sidestep simply because

dissipating the narrow, bigoted, ideas
that existed regarding religion prior
to the conflict between the nations ol
the world. Millions of young men of a
dozen different religious beliefs were
gathered together in hundreds of ar
my camps. Catholics and Jews, Protes
tants and Christian Science. diciples,
infidels and non-believers gathered to
gether on Sunday and listened to the
sermons that were preached by the ar
my chaplains. The Jew listened to the

dozen different creeds and sects who
gathered in the Y. buildings every
Sunday. The universal religion of Bro

rated religion of pre-war days. Today
these men who served in the war go to
church where there' Happens to be a
church, regardless of what denomina
tion the church represents. At the
present time we have one church in
Seward that is open and one miniate)

• When you, are /mJBsfied with yow
success here in Seward you've retro*
graded. No man or woman in this
town should be satisfied to take a rest
at the present time. You cannot do
your best if you rest. The tomorrow
for Alaska will be full of wonderful
opportunities. The government will
adopt a mighty program for the de*
yelopment of the resources of the ter
ritory during the coming year. Mew
ideas will upset old . ideas, intention
will ripen into invention, hew blood
md new capital will come to every
section of Alaska no matter how re
mote. Seward will have her phance
with the other places and a great deal
depends upon our attitude when the
opportunities arrive as to whether we
will get our due share or not. If we do
not get together and pull as one we
will awaken some day in the neav fu
ture with Failure for a pillow mhte.
Let's get together and stay together.
What say ?
DRY TOAST
I drink to thine eyes and thy lips
^nd thy hair, I drink to thy heart and
the love dormant there, 1 drink to thy
soul and the treasures divine that en
wrap and enshroud and around thee
entwine. I drink to thy presence each
night, and each day, I drink to thee al
ways, when a drink comes my way.
Advertising shortens the distance
between human minds just as the rail
road shortens the distance between
places.
When the competition in Seward
grows so keen in all lines of business
many of the merchants who do not ad
vertise at the present time will be ob
liged to do so or quit busiifess. The
very sheet you are now ignoring will
some day reach thousands of people
, r 4
instead of hundreds and your compet
itor who does advertise at the present
l
time will have laid a foundation fo.
future business that will enable him to
grow. The best as sett you have in
Seward today is your newspaper. Ft
of you apparently realize the fact So

do not advertise must believe that you
have achieved your utmost, but within
i short year or two competitors whose
names you have never heard will be

methods that you have used which are
ffoponsible. for your success may in
time prove . . to be fatal stumbling
blpcks. Speed is now the watchword.
The entire United States has its eyes
focused on Alaska at the present time.
The new administration at Washing*
ton and throughout the territory will
create a new era in Alaska during
the next few years. You will have to
'.earn to move with the new speed. If
you do oot youll be run down. If you

Saw a couple of Kiddies yesterday
standing in front of a store on the
main street looking at a display of
dolls, mechanical and other toys. One
was a boy and the other a girl. “Gee,”
said the boy, “I guess this is the place
where old Santo Claus gets all of hi*
Christmas presents for the children in
Seward. ” The little girl sighed. A
dotted line was running from her eyes
to a doll. “Bobby”, she said to the boy,
“Do you thing Mrs. Ellsworth would
let me put a note in the dolls hand so
the Santa Claus would know which
one I wanted the most” Can't wonder
why the kiddies were fadnated if you
11 take a peep in the window next time
you hit the main stem. The display is
really good and the variety is large
enough to satisfy any kid in town.
This earth isn't the same days lim
ning. The modem gait is hard and
stem and swift and unrelenting.
Speaking of Kiddies, mid the things
most appropriate as Christmas pres
ents for the ones who have reached the
reading age, there is nothing more
welcome than a book. Not the old style
childrens book that we grown ups used
to get when we were kids, the linen
sheeted, cant't tear ‘em, A. B. C. books
but the up to the minute kind of the
present time. If your child has reach
an age, where he or she will sit con
tentedly in the big Morris chair and
read, oblivious of everything except;
the contents of the book that holds
their attention, you can rest assured
that the book has been written by one
whp understands children. Today
many well known men and women
writers are devoting their entire time
to the writing of childrens* books, and
* . v .. ' .. -
the result of their doing is seen in the
large and varied assortment of child
-.i •• i .
rens books new being published. The
Seward News Company has received a
. shipment of these books and it will be
well worth your while to look them ov
er. The supply is limited and they are
selling rapidly. George Phelps has
them hidden away in the rear room,
but if you insist upon seeing them you
will undoubtedly be surprised and its
a ten one bet that you will insist upon
.%.*• • • • ;• * 1 * v - * • •
buying one or two. Nothing more ap
propriate can be found in Seward to
day for the boy or girl who likes to
read.
BOOZE POURS INTO CHICAGO
AND PRICE TAKES BIG TUMBLE
Huge Shipment Put on Market at $105
. « Case. Officials Learn.
CHICAGO, Nov., 15—Booze— soap
boxes full of it— has been comirig into
Chicago lately, federal officials dis
covered today.
Disguised labeled and billed as
soap, it is now on the market at $105
a case. Its arrival caused a distinct
bearish movement on the whisky
board of trade.
The problem of the soapy booze is
the first case to be solved by Jesse
R. Brown, successor to Maj. A. V. Dal
rymple. The first tip reached Chief
Prohibition Enforcement Officer
Brown today.
The whiskey comes from Canada. A
new carload came on the market to
day, it is understood, and will be dis
posed of tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the federal inquiry into}
illicit liquor traffic continued merrily.
A dozen new witnesses went before
the grand jury, and there wele nu
merous conferences.
. There also came to light a little
matter of a $31,000 draft which was
Sent to the Old Grand Dad Distillery
Company at Louisville, Ky., some time
ago.
. “Mike de Pike” Heitler purchased
1,000 cases of liquor from theGraed
Dad Company. He came to Chicago
where arrangements had been made
with certain? saloonkeepers to buy the
booze. It arrived and policemen held
up the trucks.and took it away from
the saloonkeepers. That much is his*
