TURNING TO GOD
<• ' •
When the steamship Admiral Evans
was in port Thursday night a member
of the crew had a narrow escape from
death. He stared death in the face
when he was thrown into the air
against the mast and hung suspended
there, for had the cable given way a
little he would have fallen, undoubt
edly to his death.
As he recovered from the first shock
of being thrown into the air, the
words could be distinguished many
shrieked, and in the still night air his
blocks away. They were:
My God! Save me!”
Whether he ordinarily, in his every
day life, 'is a man of devotion and
reverence is not known. But it is
Immaterial. The fact is that as he
faced death, or thought he did, he
called on God f >r assistance.
What an example! How often it is
seen every day in life. We go along
through life, thinking little of the
hereafter, or the God rf the universe;
but let any of us be faced by death
and immediately we turn to the Su
preme Being. It was very noticeable
to the hundred or more persons who
stood on the dock Thursday night,
watching and listening to the poor
fellow, torn by fear and pain.
We live in a thinking yet thought
less age. A seeming contradiction,
yet a fact. The world thinks of the
material things more and more and
less of the spiritual, apparently.
Ketchikan, made up of good, whole
some, hard-working people, can not be
said to be a church-going public. Not
only that, but the number of young
people and children w’ho are never re
quired to go to church or Sunday ]
school is remarkable. Yet if the
adults do not feel it incumbent upon
then to attend divine services once in
a while, if not regularly, they should |
give the children a right start in life,
send them to church and Sunday
school, and when they grow' older let
them decide for themselves whether
by the majority of adults now living
they wish to continue. As it was done
in Ketchikan, so should they do by
their children. Tomorrow' is Sunday.
There will be services of all denomi
nations in all the churches. Just for
a change, attend. You will probably I
see and hear something interesting.
Certainly you will see or hear nothing
demoralizing. Ketchikan Chronicle.

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
-.
It would seem to us thht the Bright i
Lights ought to shine again here, just
for a night, at least. We are going
to look into the matter and see if we
can turn ’em on.—Fairbanks News
Miner.
Skagway will again go back to its
old habits, as the passenger conges
tion that has been on there has been
relieved. It must make some of the
old-timers of that place feel good
when the town fills up with Interior
people in the fall and spring. It re
minds them, we would think, of the
old times.—Douglas News.
