In the, February number of the
"sixth consecutive Year Rook of the
Inland Empire Sunday School Assjf/
elation,” printed at Spokane, is an
account of a convention which will he
held in Juneau next June, ns follows:
When our Inland Association was
ten years old last May, it was decided
by our business committee to celebrate
this event by assisting Alaska some
what in its Sunday school and tem
perance work. During the summer,
Mrs. Knapp and the general secretary,
at their own expense, visited a dozen
or more of the leading cities in the
Northland, had conferences with the
workers and arranged for their first
all-Alaska Sunday school convention
to be held in Juneau in June.
The convention will last three days
and will be held the latter part of
June, according to present plans. TU<?
round trip from Seattle to Juneau, in
cluding meals and berth on board, will
cost $50. For an additional $10 or
$20 botli Skagway and Sitka can be
included. A number of Sunday school
and public school teachers are plan
ning to go in our party. Those desir
ing additional information concerning
boats, rates, dates, program, etc.,
should send postal to the Sunday
school office,^515 Peyton Building,
Spokane, Wash.
Our association aims to raise a fund
of $500 tilia year to be used expressly
for the work in Alaska. More than
$"00 has already been contributed.
Since Alaska votes on territorial pro
liibition this coming November, con
siderable help will he given them in
their temperance fight. We congratu
late the schools listed below for the
part they are having in helping the
Kingdom of Christ in our frontier
wonderland. Individuals or schools
desiring to assist can send contribu
tions to the Sunday school office.
Accompanying the article is a map
of Alaska outlined in black and shown

the extent of the territory compared
with the United States. There are
also two pages nearly of Alaska Sun
