BAPTISTS RUN UP
AGAINST MANY
RADICAL IDEAS
SEATTLE, July 2 (/P)—1The North
ern Baptist Convention is voting to
day on a resolution introduced by Dr.
W. B. Hinson of Portland, despite the
pleas of many prominent speakers for
peace between the Fundamentalists
and modernists so that the church
“can go about its work unitedly.”
The resolution would require mis
sionaries to believe in “the divine
creation of man in the image of God,
a plenary interpretation of the Scrip
tures in both new and old testama
ments, the certain deity of Christ in
volving his virgin birth, his sinless
life and sacrificial death, his bodily
resurrection and ascension to the
right hand of God,” and to uphold the
Baptist belief as a condition of mem
bership in the church.
The resolution would direct the
Foreign Missions Boards immediately
to recall all those even doubting any
of “the great fundamentals of our
faith aforementioned,” and replace
them with equally competent men
“whose evangelical faith an^ fervor
cannot be questioned.”
Battle Is Raging.
SEATTLE, July 2 (/P)—Staved off
for two days, the battle between the
Fundamentalists and Modernists raged
today on the floor of the Nineteenth
Annual Meeting of the Northern Bap
tist Convention on whether to seat
four delegates from the Park Avenue
Baptist Church of New York City.
The Credentials Committee which
is headed by Corwin S. Shank, of Se
attle, recommended seating the dele
gates despites the protests received.
Fundamentalists moved to reject the
report and exclude the delegates.
President Milliken, former governor
of Maine, ruled this motion out of or
der on the ground that the Park
Church men were all financially obli
gated to co-operate with all agencies
of the church and its schools and mis
sions, and could not therefore be bar
red without a change in the laws of
the convention. At a late hour to
day the debate was raging fiercely.
SEATTLE, July 3 (£>)—The Mod
ernists defeated the Fundamentalists
by a vote of 912 to 364 in seating the
delegation from the Park Avenue
Church of New York City, in the an
nual Northern Baptist convention be
ing held here.

GLACIER, FORMER
U S NAVY CRAFT
IN FISH GAME
FORMER REFRIGERATOR SHIP
FOR NAVY NOW CANNERY VES
SEL AT BRISTOL BAY.
The Northern Fisheries, Inc., head
ed by Cres P. Hale, which company
sometime ago took over the Bristol
Bay Packing Company, of which Mrs.
Kate G. Pedersen had been the pro
prietor and manager of since the
death of her husband, H. A. Peder
sen, has added a new vessel to its
Westward fleet, the steamer, Glacier.
During Mr. Hale’s recent trip to
Seward, while en route to his many
canneries to the Westward, he gave
the Gateway a brief outline of the
vessel.
The Glacier is a new English built
ship, and was taken over by the
American Navy from England, about
two years ago, for the sole purpose
of converting it into a refrigerator
vessel. This accomplished, the ship
was sent around the world with the
American battle fleet, remaining in
the Navy’s care until last fall when
Mr. Hale purchased it from the de
partment. Naturally it has always
received the best of care and atten
tion, being turned over to him in
an absolute first class condition. The
vessel might possibly call in at Sew
ard this fall while on its way to
San Francisco, it is stated. On the
Northbound trip, in the spring, the
trip to Nazinki, Bristol Bay, was
made in eight days, considered very
good time for the run.
Among the floating equipment the
company owns in the Bristol Bay
district is 120 gill net boats; five
power boats and tenders, and a fleet
of carriers, including the steel freight
steamer, Costa Rica, the barkentine
City of Sydney, the bark McLaurin,
and the barkentine Kate G. Peder
sen, the latter which is often used
for off shore charter. Mr. Hale and
other officials of the company are
expected to return to Seward on the
next arrival of the steamer Starr.

TREASURY BUSILY
REVISING TAXES
FOR NEXT YEAR
WASHINGTTON, I). C., July 2 (£>)—
"With final figures showing a surplus of
$250,000,000 for the fiscal^year ending
Tuesday, the Treasury department to
day began a revision of its estimates
for receipts for the new fiscal year.
A revamping is due practically every
item of receipts for the last year,
which exceeded expectations. Much
of the excess is due to payments in
March and June and this is taken
as an indication of the trend which
will develop. Income receipts the last
year were $1,160,000 000 which is 100
millions over the estimate. Customs
and miscellaneous receipts were unu
sually high, totaling $3,790,000,000 and
expenditures were S3,259,643.000.
The treasury statement explains
that the surplus is not available for
tax reduction. Since tax reduction
means a loss of revenue annually it
is the only annual surplus to be ex- a
pected in future years which is the #■
margin available for tax reduction
and should be so used.”
Hon. Irene Parlby, minister without
portfolio in the government of Alberta
province, Canada, declared the thing
that keeps nations apart is not boun
daries but a lack of understanding.

A Glorious Fourth for
The Gateway
This Fourth of July is one of the best The Gateway
has yet enjoyed, owing to the liberality of those who made
this edition possible. We venture to say that few papers
in Alaska can show a greater improvement during the
past year, than The Daily Gateway. Our Associated
Press service covers the entire world and our subscrip
tion list is keeping close touch with the press service. The
Gateway is the best advertising medium for Southwest
ern Alaska—in fact it is the only advertising medium for
the great district west of here.
Seward is to be congratulated upon the success of its
home paper, and the patronage received shows that our
people appreciate a good paper.
We Thank You
