Alaska

THE work in Alaska is under the North Pacific Union Conference, which has maintained a laborer or two in the English work. A lone sister at Cape Nome reports that a number of the Eskimos are keeping the Sabbath as best they know. The leader of the number is an ivory carver called “Happy Jack.” This sister says:—
Most of them, even Brother Jack, used to go to the Catholic Church. But Brother Jack told the priest that he must “go one day back,” meaning the seventh day. Brother Jack told me, “Priest very mad.” But he seems not to mind that. The Eskimos sing “Happy Day,” with me, or “Sweet Promise, I will Come Again.”
