Northern Light comes was purchased
for the UnalakleetKskimoSchool.lt

to publish the paper monthly atUna
lakleet in the interest of the schools of
Alaska. Wc will do our Lest to make
it worthy of its name. However, you
must remember we are not familiar
with the art of printing a paper,and
the pupils who will set the type and

PRESIDENT WILSON
AND THE DOLE
It means much to any nation to
have a man of God at its head. Not a
nominal Christian merely but one
who says, “I am sorry for the men
who do not read the Bible
e.'e'ydiy.” But President Wilso i
believes not only in reading the Bi
ble but in teaching it for in the great
mass-meeting held at Tienton, he is
quoted assaying: “no great nation
can ever survive its own follies that
does not indoctrinate its children in
the Word of God, so that as a school
master and as Governor I know
that my feet must rest with the feet
of my fellowmen upon this founda
tion,and upon this foundation only,
for the righteousness of nations like
the righteousness of men must take
its source from these foundations of
inspirations. ’ ’
Queen Victoria held that the se
cret of England’s greatness was Eng
land’s faith in the Bible. One of our
greatest Americans said that the
American Constitution rested upon
the ten commandments,the Apostle’s
Creed and the Lord’s Prayer.
Woodrow Wilson is evidently a
man of like spiritual discernment. ’
From—Temperance Educational Quarterly.
In this age of progress many 1 eli
eve we should have a new religion,
a new thought and set aside the in
spiration of the Bible as being a little
antiquated.This might be true had
not God in the beginning launched
this perfect plan of personal salvation.
