detachments from Companies "L*' and ’F", returned Monday evening

They bagged nine fine bucks notwithstanding they encountered
foggy, rainy weather the entire stay on Tenakee Inlet and Fresh
water Bay. Company ”EM killed five and Company "F" four, so our
informant states, but neither detachment killed a bear, however
bear signs were plentiful and the tracks large.
They report deer in the vicinity where they hunted plentiful,
but adverse weather conditions prevented latger bags.
A number of the party became' seasick on their return trip
and were several days regaining their land-legs, otherwise there
was no casualties or other mishaps reported.

CHURCH iTOTICE.
The steamship companies have raised their fare and it will cost
you more to visit your friends than it ever did before. Uncle
Sam has raised the Parcel Post rates and it will cost you more
to send your Christmas packages this year than it did last; but
God has made no increase in the cost with getting in touch with
Heaven. The fare is just the same as it has always been; it will
cost you no more to send your message of prayer to Heaven than it
did last year. Attending the service in the church Sunday even
ing is a good way to get in touch with God. Just try it.
Sunday School at 1 P.M. Evening service at 7:30.
Remember the Bible Class in the school room, company "F" every
Tuesday evening at 6:15. We have made a good beginningand would
like to see more men attend. The Haines Ladies Club will meet
with Miss Jackson and Miss Remensnider, hostesses, next Thurs
day, November 5th., at 2 P.M,
---E.E.Bromley, Minister.
