October 18, 1867: The United States purchases Alaska for $7.2 million, or about 2 cents an acre. Ten years later, after lax military administration had only worsened the territory’s moral condition, an army private stationed in Alaska begged, “Send out a shepherd who may reclaim a mighty flock from the error of their ways, and gather them into the true fold.” Presbyterian missionary Sheldon Jackson answered the call and spent decades raising funds, building schools and churches, and crusading for better laws.  Available from https://www.christianitytoday.com/1980/10/october-18/

On this day, 13 October 1652, after fasting and praying all morning, a number of members of the Massachuset tribe gave their testimonies and made confessions so that they might be admitted to a church of their own.
