K|-:v. COOK PUKACHKS
\\ Ii \ r IS PKKil APS HIS
LAST SKKMON HKKK
The choir of the Methodist church
maintain.- high standard by mean.*
>f it; tegular members notwithstand
ing the fact that that the singeis win
have been in the town oecass:on:ii!\
and kindly given their services arc
necessarily gone.
Mr. Engborg, last evening, very or
fectiveiv rendered'the solo. “0 Jesus,
Thou Art Standing.”
Kev. Cook read from a scripture
lesson a part of the 25th chapter of
Matthew, the parable of the talents.
He took bis text, however, from the
book of Numbers, and his theme was
‘‘what will you do with the solemn
lays?” The solemn days were to the
Hebrews also festival days.
“Xhe days,” said Kev. Cook, “widen
I shall speak of as solemn days, are
first, -the day upon which a child is
born. It is a solemn day because a new
life has come into the world and in it,
are bound up great possibilities for
both good and evil, and a solemn obb
re ion rests upon parents and teachers
lo do all that is possible to nurture the
good and repress the evil tendencies.
“The day we leave the home an-1
<(a:t out in life more directly for our
selves is another solemn day,” said
Kev. Cook. “Mother and father give us
heir blessing and wish us well, an*
few there bo. if indeed any, that on
irely forget the early instruction of
tho mother.
“The day or marriage, sam iv* ••
Cook,” is also a solemn day, because
>f the possibility of happiness or i’n
lappiness that is hound ur> itt t '»»t '!«*. •
“Then, too. the day which sooner or
Inter comes to us each anil ad, too de
wlv n we pass on into the broader lire,
leaving the material body to return
icnin to the elements from which It
;t was taken, is a solemn day, but
should also be a day of beautiful ac
cent ure, as it is sometimes termed.
Whether these days shall be sail days,
when remembered, or whether they
diall he days of joy, will depend large
’v upon whether in life we have fol
’owed the linos of honesty, righteous
ness and service to mankind, or have
through life neglected the opportunit
ies for service that have come to us.”
! a ;t evening was probably the oc
asion of Rev. Cook’s last Sunday ser
vice with the Methodist church of this
til ace. His eye sight is again failing
md he feels that he must leave on the
next boat for the States. Rev. Cook
has won the favor of the people of
Seward and has begun a good work
hero which is expected to be taken up
by another man in a short time.

A few minutes afterwards, Mrs.
Davidson wanted to know where Char
dey was and she was told he was out
side on the deck. She looked out )m
did not see him, then the three reca'l
i*d what they thought had been cries
for “Oh,Dob.” The cries had been re
peated several times and were prohah
ly intended for Dr. Simpson.
Dr. Simpson cruised about for haT
an hour but tlu* weather was foggy
and the launch was turned towards
Juneau. Where Davidson is believed
to have fallen overboard from t?»e
launch, the outgoing tide is strong.
