A few adventurous spirits tried
skating on Lake Eyak this week, and
while the ice is not the best in the
world, it can be done. About an inch
of snow overlays the ice, which is
slightly rough, and everyone tells
weird stories of air holes that can not
be seen but that should be avoided.
Outside of that the ice is just fine.

ROOSEVELT ON
CHURCH-GOING
1. In this actual world, a church
community, a community where men
have abandoned and scoffed at or ig
nored their religious needs, is a com
munity on the rapid decline.
2. Church work and church attend
ance mean the cultivation of the habit
of feeling some responsibility for oth
ers.
3. There are enough holidays for
most of us. Sundays differ from other
holidays in the fact that there are
fifty-two of them every year. There
fore, on Sundays go to church.
4. Yes, I know all the excuses. I
know that a man can worship his Cre
ator in a grove of trees or by a run
ning brook or in a man’s house, just,
as well as in the church. But I also
know as a matter of cold fact that the
average man does not thus worship.
5. He will listen to and take part
in reading some beautiful passage
from the Bible. And if he is not
familiar with the Bible, he has suffered
a loss.
6. He will meet and speak to his
neighbors. He will come away feel
ing more kindly to the world, even
toward those excessively foolish young
people who regard church-going as a
soft performance.
7. I advocate a man’s joining in
church work for the sake of showing
his faith by his works.
What Mr. Roosevelt preached he
practiced. The Gospel he loved, we
use and preach at the

A ditch digger works ten hours a
day for $4—that’s labor.
A mechanic takes $5 worth of ma
terial and makes it into watch springs
worth $50—that’s skill.
A merchant takes an article for 75
cents and sells it for a dollar—that’s
business.
There is a man who takes a 50-cent
piece of canvas, paints a picture on it
and makes it worth thousands—that’s
genius.
Rockefeller could write a few words
on a piece of paper and make it worth
millions—that’s capital.
A woman can afford a hat for $2.75,
but buys one that costs $26.50—that’s
—what is it?—Common Sense.
