VALUE OF LOCAL INSTITUTION
_ %
It is customary to consider a religious institution’s
value to a community in spiritual terms, but a glance at
the purely material side of the Methodist Episcopal
church of Seward reveals a condition of which Seward
should be proud were there no other valuable computa
tions.
The Methodist church came to Seward 22 years ago'.
Its mission was, not to build up a strong denominational
church, but to serve the community as a moral and spirit
ual institution. This is indicated by the new sign which
lately appeared on the church building—Seward Commu
nity Church.
During the 22 years of its existance in Seward the
Methodist church has put into the community more than
$40,000.; it owns property valued at about $10,000; ex
pressed in a beautiful church and parsonage, which
have evoked remarks of appreciation and admiration
from many toursts and prominent personages, among
whom might be mentioned Senator Frank B. Willis of
Ohio who on last Sunday attended the services, and in
strong terms, expressed his appreciation of the services
and his enjoyment of the same.
The church has proved a valuable agency, especially
to visitors accustomed to regular church worship, princi
pally among tourists during the summer, who return
home to all portions of the States carrying a message of
praise for the completeness of Seward’s institutions, in
cluding its church facilities.
The pastor of the Methodist church is the only per
manet resident minister in the city. He is called upon fre
quently to perform the marriage ceremony; he buries
the dead, visits the sick and those into whose lives sorrow
has come, and is the friend of all needing a real friend and
svmpathizer; not only that, but he becomes “one of us” on
arrival and takes interest and participates in the civic af
fairs of the citv and labors for its best interests, being
found among the best boosters of the community.
In the Sunday school the children and others m attend
ance are taught the important truths of the Holy Scrip
tures.

Lee Home to Seward, in the building of which the
Woman’s board has put $125,000, and to maintain that in
stitution at the present time is expending annually about
$30,000. In addition, as a result of this institution a $20,
000 school house is being erected for the children in the
Jesse Lee Home district, and that by Seward contractors.
On the recent visit of the church dignitaries and ded*
ication of the Jesse Lee Home a zero milestone was erect
ed. This, it was announced, was the beginning of greater
things to come.
These are some of the things that make of the Meth
odist church in Seward a thing of importance from a mat
erial standpiont; and added to this is the spiritual bene
fits accruing, as have accrued in every community which
maintains religious institutions.
For these reasons the people of Seward may justly
lend their influence to this institution and take note of
the good work the church is doing in the constructive
work of Alaska

NECTION WILD LIFE
Dr. T. Gilbert Pearson, of New
York City, president of the National
Association of Audubron Societies,
and a member of the Camp Fire Club
of America, and of the Boone and
Crockett Club, is a distinguished vis
itor in Seward today. Dr. Pearson is
making a tour of Alaska and has
just come from an enjoyable visit
the McKinley National Park.
The nature of the splendid activi
ties of the organizations of which
Dr. Pearson represents, in connection
with the protection of the wild life
in America, is fairly familiar to the
majority of Alaskans. He is making
a study of Alaskan conditions with
reference to his choosen work and is
anxious to meet with representative
Alaskans to dscuss with them on
these matters.
William L. Finley, who two years
ago spent an entire summer to the
Westward studying wild ibird and
animal life and who is greatly in de
mand as a lecturer on these subjects,
has been a member of Dr. Pearson’s
staff for several years. During Dr.
Pearson’s stay in the city—he leaves
tomorrow for the South on the S. S.
Alaska—he is a guest at the Van
Gilder hotel.
Up to the time of going to press
the passenger list of the S. S. Aleu
tian had not arrived.
A total of 61 children at the Jesse
Lee Home had their tonsils removed
during the past week.
