ON GOING TO CHURCH
We have been asked by a reader to write an editor
ial on the reasons for going to church.
Naturally, most of us are religious and intend to
become members of some organized religious group.
We should be affiliated with the religious organization
that expresses our own religious ideas, if possible. We
should identify ourselves with the church that seems
to us the best for the development and strengthening of
our own faith.
There are, in Nome, as everywhere else, scoffers
who sit on the sidelines and relate the defects of indivi
dual members of the churches. They find excuse for
their own absence from organized religion in the lack
of perfection that is commonly exhibited by the mem
bers of any church. They do not belong to a church,
they say, because they are not good enough, or because
they are not hypocrites, like certain individuals they
mention.
These reasons, it seems to us, are not so weighty.
They are usually the expressions of those who have, in
their own minds, a conviction that being in a church
will interfere with the lives that they lead. It would
seem to us that any individual could find a church group
from which to draw inspiration for a better life if that
is desired. We doubt if the same source of strength
can be found on street corners and loafing stands any
where.
Members of churches are not perfect. In fact,
many of them are bitterly aware of imperfections. They
seek—the majority of them—to live better lives and
look to religion to supply strength as well as inspiration.
Millions of men and women testify that this is the truth,
so far'as they are concerned, wheher it is so with oth
ers or not.
Organized religion has done much to improve hu
man existence. It has gradually broadened the horizon
of men and women, developed the spirit of human bro
therhood and generated in many hearts an abiding love
for humanity. True enough these same results have
been accomplished, often enough, outside of organized
religion but such instances are the exception and not
the rule. With all allowance for criticism an individual
in most American communities, will be running with
the best people of his race when he attaches himself to
some church and becomes an organized supporter of
religion as a great factor in human life.

Arctic Huts Are
Entered After
Period 34 Years
'Bv The Associated Press)
MOSCOW, Russia, May 14, —
After remaining more than 30
years in frozen silence, the huts
which sheltered Evelyn B. Bald
win of the United States and his
men on their unsuccessful attem
pt at the turn of the present cen
tury to reach the Norh Pole, and
also the huts of Anthony Fiala’s
polar expedition, have again
been entered by human beings.
Mihail VodopyanofT, Russian
aviator, reported by radio late
yesterday to Moscow that he had
landed in his plane on Rubolf,
one of the northernmost group of
islands of Franz Josef Land.
Found Group of Huts
The airman who sent his re
port from Tikaya Bay, declared
he found the huts used by the
Baldwin party of 19 members in
1902 and those used by the Fiala
party of 39 members in 1904. The
aviator asserted that the Baldwin
huts contained stocks of food, but
that the Fiala huts were buried
in solid blocks of ice and that
he could not get into the old hab
itations to see what they contain
ed.
