Of- ficers elected were Mrs. Geirude E. Lackey, president; Mrs. J. C. Click, vice-president; Mrs, Ralph ‘Waggoner, secretary; Mrs. O. Car-, michael, treasurer and Mrs. Peter Oswald, librarian. Following consecration service led by Mrs. Click was a program on the mission work in Alaska Mission Work in Alaska Mrs. Floyd Dryden told of the work of the Jessie Lee Home, near Sewaid, a home for needy children supported by the Methodist church. The Alaska Flag was designed by Henry Benson, a 13-year old boy of this institution, who, Mrs. Dryden said, with true missionary spirit, donated to his needy parents the money given him by the Territorial Legislature to make a trip to Wash~ ington, D. C. Mrs. Anna Snow told of the ac- tivities of the Episcopal church in Alaska and the sacrificial services of Bishop P. T. Rowe over a period of forty years. I Lutheran is First Protestant Church The first protestant church in Alaska, according to Mrs. Erling K. Olafson, was a Lufheran church established in Sitka by the Finns during the Russian regime. The church was discontinued when Al- aska was transferred to the United, States, but the plot of ground where the church stood still belongs to the Lutheran church and some day, she said, they hope to build again on that historic spot, | The various activities of the Pres- byterian church in Alaska were told by Mrs. J. E. Marshall. The Presby- terian church began work in Al- aska in 1877 at Wrangell. The Nor- 1’ thern Light church in Juneau is one' ‘of the oldest churches of this de- nomination in Alaska. It started first as a missiin, was organized 45 years ago and has been self-sup- porting for many years. Every per- manent village or town in South- east Alaska has its Presbyterian church, Mrs. Marshall said. The Presbyterian work in Alaska, divid- ed into two districts, the Alaska Presbytery and the Yukon Presby- tery, includes 51 projects besides the work at Haines House and the Sheldon Jackson School at Sitka. In the division of the Territory among the churches for missionary enter-) prise, Point Barrow and the far north was not taken by any other denomination so the Presbyterians took this field and established a church and hospital at Point Bar- row. The hospital, however, has now been taken over by the gov- ernment.

Tne Sal- vation Army, she explained is truly missionary in its endeavor, and as- pires to build up a strong work among the Native people of Alaska. The Army has several white offi- cers in Alaska. These are ably as- sted, she said, by consecrated Na- | tive leaders in various Native com- munities. Miss Krause, who served as a helper in the Baptist Orphanage |at Kodiak, gave an account of this institution and its splendid work. It is the only project of the Baptist church in Alaska. Lack of funds has prevented this denomination from further development of the Territory in Alaska assigned to it. Mrs. C. C. Personeus gave an ac- count of the work of the Pentecostal congregations in Juneau, Ketchi- kan, Skagway and Anchorage. This assembly has established homes for needy children, similar to the Beth- el Beach Home, in towns where the assembly serves. The organization has educated two native Filipinos and sent them as missionaries to their own people in the Philippines. During the ministry of the Rev. and Mrs. Personeus in Juneau, the Congregation has raised and con- tributed $5,000 to foreign missions. It is a self-supporting congrega- tion, Natives Are Assisted Mrs. Olla Tonsgard told of the dif- ferent enterprises supported by the Presbyterian church for the benefit of the Native people. The Sheldon Jackson School of Sitka, and its vredecessor, has ministered to the Native people since 1878, and most of the leaders of the Native races of Southeast - Alaska have had training in this school. Haines House has 50 children in its care, and when possible sends them on to Sheldon Jackson for High School training. Two mission boats are maintained to assist in the work in { Southeast Alaska. The Moravian Church has min- istered for years to the Eskimo people within the Arctic Circle. The Congregational Church has had work at Douglas, Valdez and Nome. As a part of the program, a duet, “The Hands of the Savior,” was sung by members of the First Pres- byterian church choir. Mrs. Adjt. Tanner invited the so- ciety to meet at the Salvation Army Citadel, November 11th. This in- vitation was accepred. After light Ire(r/hmpm were served the meet- ing adjourned. —_——— e HOUSEL ouUT ON IB’I'EBETH Dave’ Housel, efar of the Al- askan Hotel ‘in -mnuu. an out- bound passenger for Tenakec on the Estebeth.

Kilroy was solemnized last night when Miss | Marian Stanworth became the bride of Mr. Albert Rhodes. The marriage ceremony was' per- formed by the Rev. O. L. Kendall. Mrs. Arnold Hildre was the brides- maid and Bert Whitfield was best man. Mr. Ronald Lister sang and the wedding march was played by Mrs. Lister. . The bride wore a gown of maize- color taffeta and her attendant wore new-blue crepe trimmed with silver. Following the ceremony a buffet luncheon was served by Mrs. Kilroy. Pink was the color motif of the attractively decorated supper table. The bridegroom, son of Mrs. Kil-{ roy, was graduated from Juneau High School and in mechanics from Heald's college in San Fran- cisco. The bride, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Steven Stanworth, lived in Douglas and Juneau for several years and is popular among her young friends here. Because of the recent tragic death of the groom's brother, Milton Rhodes, the wedding, which was to have occurred in August, was post- poned until last night and was a small and quiet affair. Attending the nuptials were Mr. and Mrs. Kilroy, Mr. and Mrs. Lister, Mr. and Mrs. Hildre, Miss Jessie Kilroy, Mr. and Mrs. Stanworth, Mr, Whit-| field and Mr. Howard York. B N.
