route to his home in Anchorage,
and thus avoid the unpleasantness
of passing through Cordova and
Seward. And thus the Territory
could have saved .$40,000 over and
above expenses for what Mr. How
ard himself called “Useless expendi
ture of money.”
MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL
Alaska cannot afford to lose such
a sterling, fearless preacher of the
Gospel of Christ as Rev. H. E. Busli
who was recently removed from his
pulpil in the St. Johns Episcopal
Church by the Rt. Rev. Rowe, Bishop
of Alaska. So far as we can learn
the only criticism that the good
Bishop had to make of Rev. Bush
was that he “was not respectful to
the Bishop/' which might or might
not be a serious crime, but which
might result in a severe set-back
to the cause of Christ. However that
might be, we suppose that the dig
nity of the Bishop’s office must be
upheld no matter what the cost.
We have been well acquainted with
many ministers and ordained mis
sionaries during our thirty years in
Alaska, and can say that of the en
tire number, H. E. Bush was the
peer in point of consecration, fidelity,
learning, ability, and force of char
acter of any of these. While at
tending his church, we found his
theology so broad that we would
forget that we were in an Episcopal
church for to him there seemed
be no church lines. He preached
“Christ and Him crucified” and
righteousness and did not flinch or
apologize to any one as is sometimes
the case.
The love of the community goes
with Mr. Bush and his fine family,
and a hope that his successor will
carry on the work so well begun.
HONEST MAN

should have his salary raised for

tor and I will hold our regular
prayer meeting next Wednesday (‘ve
iling as usual.”—Christian Register,
