    December 19, 1914 – Despite the fatherly interest advanced by the moralists in our behalf to make Alaska dry; might not the people directly interested have something to say in the matter? Who made the prohibition states dry? Was it not the people of those particular states? Then why should an outsider be allowed to rush a resolution through congress to make the country dry before the people; whose interest is involved have a chance to say whether they want it dry or not. Let the intention of those who desire to see Alaska dry be ever so sincere...

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths,...

  • Christmas Messages from Petersburg's Ministers

    Dec 18, 2014

    You can have peace with God Peace on earth goodwill toward man. The angels in declaring God’s message were not depicting a worldwide tranquility but something that is available to each person who sees what God is truly offering - His gift of His way back to Him. Even later during Jesus ministry He states, “My peace I give to you; not as the world gives give I unto you.” So many times I have personally prayed for God’s intervention in something and in retrospect I realize I was wanting Him to make all the problems go away so my life could r...

    December 12, 1914 – The Petersburg Weekly Report, a new publication with the first issue dated Dec. 5th. It is a neat and well put up sheet of six columns and full of local news items. It reflects great credit on the publisher, Lynn W. Miller. The ownership has been reported as being between the bank and a saloonkeeper of the town. Politically, independent, but admits being an ex-republican. His reason for choosing Petersburg for the venture is the confidence in the future of the town. To which we interpose no objections. December 8, 1939 ...
