Propose “Protest”
Organization
‘
KETCHIKAN, (/P)—A proposal
that all Alaska commercial inter
ests unite into a single organiza
tion to protest shipping tieups and
"Seattle disputes” adversely af- j
fecting the Territory was made
yesterday by W. A. Bates Ketchi
kan banker, before the chamber
of commerce.
He said he believed Seattle
groups doing business in Alaska
should maintain a top-salaried
man in the Territory, to work
with Alaskans on such problems.
The Alaska Governor’s office
has carried on such work for some
time but an Alaska-wide orgartiza
tion is needed to add weight to
such appeals, he argued.
Do It Now
How To Become A Christian
RECOGNIZE that you are not a Christian because you are do
ing the best you can, for God’s Word declares, “All have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God” (Rom. 3:23).
CONFESS that you are a guilty sinner in God’s sight, for you
have broken His commandments, and all the world has become
guilty before Him (Rom. 3:19).
BELIEVE the good news that Christ died for the ungodly
(Rom. 5:8). He therefore died for you and settled your sin debt
on Calvary’s Cross.
CALL on the name of the Lord Jesus, on bended knees, with a
sincere desire to be saved from your sins, for God has promised
that “Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
saved.” (Rom. 10:13).
