makes a plea for $1500 to provide a suitable place of workship as the present
place is much too small.
Mr. Stimson, writing from Ruk, mentions the arrival of the schooner Carrie
and Annie on the evening of (Ictobcr
15th, after being delayed a month by
calms within a few days sail of Butaritari in the Gilbert Islands. The missionaries at Ruk had begun to be short
of food and kerosene oil, and had been
obliged to eke out the supply by buying
from Hongkong and the traders. There
had been no actual suffering however.
The organization of a new church at
their central station is described as follows: 'It was done very properly by a
council of Congregational churches,
(".illed by letters missive—a native pastor
was chairman. Some of the narratives —
not many of them—were interesting, and
the visiting deacons did a good share of
the examining. The Sunday services
w ere very long, but very solemn and interesting to all our people. Forty-three
were selected fur membership from fiftynine applicants."
Mr. Stimson speaks with regret of the
weakness of the native helpers and of
his being the only man to care for all
tin- work and his being without means
to visit all the stations.
()f the Gilbert Island work, Mr. Walkup writes rather discouragingly. Shortage of food on one island, sickness and
failure in morals among the native
teachers, temptations to laxness in living
being the difficulties in the way. His
little schooner, the Hiram Bingham, had,
also, been twice ashore, due to the breaking of her cable. The second time, it was
only after some days of hard work, digging away the sand by which she had been
partially buried, that the vessel was gotten afloat. She was not seriously damage 1 by these experiences, but had been
much hindered by calms. Mr. Walkup in
his lonely and difficult field should have
the prayerful sympathy of all Christain
people.

TheHawai an
Board
With the withdrawal of
the American Board from
financial responsibility in these Islands,
the duty falls wholly upon the Hawaiian
Board of carrying forward the work
which it has inherited from the former
body, as well as that which has grown Up
under its own initiative. Under these circumstances the relation of this Hoard to
the spiritual and material welfare of the
islands should be' brought to the attention
of all who live or have interests here.
When the missionaries of the American
Board landed here in 1820, Jhey found
the people in a state of barbarism. According to the records of the churches
which grew out of that work, they have
brought to a profession of Christianity
from imong the natives alone, 65,898
persons, a number equal to nearly one
half of the population when the islands
were discovered. Besides this ingathering of souls, a Christian civilization has
been established from which the whole
population, whether professing Christianity or not, has been greatly benefitted.
.Again w hen the American Board began
work here the value of property was very
small; Today, according to the report
of the Governor to the Secretary of the
Interior, the value of property in these
Islands subject to ad valorem taxes, is
$110,388,578. In its work here the American Board spent $1,577,956.27. This
money was not expanded in business or
speculation for the purpose of making
more money. It was spent in laying the
moral and intellectual foundations of civilization, and the hundred millions or
more of property values is merely an incident or outgrowth of this work. Without the moral and intellectual foundation
it never would have reached such a figure.
and, if '.his foundation were to fail, the
value of property would greatly deteriohas,
therefore,
rate.
Christianity
wrought out here as it does everywhere
a two-fold result, in that souls have been
.aved and the conditions under which
life and property are safe have been established. We would not say of course,
that the American Board can claim the
credit for all the benefits of civilization
thai we enjoy here today. Such other
agencies as have wrought here should
have credit for what they have done, but
the American Board being the first
comer and most extensive influence in
the islands, has undoubtedly achieved
a greater result than any other factor.
Tbe Hawaiian Board now becomes the
heir to the duty and opportunity of car-
rying on the work begun here so long
ago; and, added to this, is the work
among the Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese which this Board has itself inaugurated. This work'expands faster than
the ability of the Board to meet it. and
hence is always calling for assistance that
cannot be given to it.
Now the continuation nf the Hawaiian
work handed over by the American
Board and the newer work among the
races which have more recently come to
these shores, is vital to the best interests
of these Islands. The future welfare of
all classes here will depend upon the
readiness with which the needs of these
peoples arc recognized and met. A healthy, vigorous effort, of the most pronounced Christian type, undertaken and
persistently carried on. is imperatively
demanded to meet the needs that are now
before us as Well as those that are sure
arise in the near future. New problems arc arising every day and new
methods and increased resources arc
needed to meet them.
From a human point of view it would
seem to he unfortunate that just when
these greater responsibilities arc devolving upon it, the Hawaiian Board finds
itself hampered in various ways. In the
first place it is short-handed. Its working force is for the time reduced, two of
its most effective men being temporarily
laid aside. Also, in its councils, it suffers
the lack of its president, Mr. Atherton,
and a member of its finance committee,
Mr Jones, who have been kept away for
sometime by illness. It is also carrying
a debt of about $12,000 and this is increasing from month to month. Under
such circumstances one of two things is
inevitables either it must find relief or a
serious diminution of its work and influence must follow shortly.
We have said that this is the outlook
from a human point of view; but we cannot believe that it means disaster.
The
plans of God arc too far-reaching and his
ability to touch the springs of power as
latent in human wealth is too great to
allow the work over which he has watched with special care to fail or be greatly
weakened, Shall not one outcome of the
Week of Prayer, be a renewed consecration of our means to his service.

Since the above was put in type, it is
learned that a friend of the Board has
cancelled its debt.

By a late mail, we have letters from
Ml. Delapprte by way of ffongkong of
dates. October 6th, Bth and loth.
At the first writing Mr. Dchporte and
family, now numbering four souls, were
on board the S. S. Oceana in the port
of Jaluit, Marshall Islands.
On the Btli. they were on the steamer
200 miles eastward nf Kusaie, or Strong's

< >n the 10th of October, they had arrived at Kusaie. where they planned to
remain for two months "nr so, until, on
the return of the steamer Oceana from
Hongkong, they could embark for their

Under date of October Bth, Mr. Delaporte writes:
"Your interesting letters of May 28th,
June 27th and July Ist were handed to

very glad to bear from you, and rejoice
because of the continued interest our
many friends at Honolulu take in our
work."
Regarding the object of this visit to

Kusaie, Mr. Delaporte says: —
"You will he wondering what we are
doing on board the S. S. Oceana. We
are on our way lo Kusaie to have a portion of the New Testament scriptures
and a hymn-book printed. We have
worked day and night during the last

the Gospels of Matthew and John, the

Later on Mr. Delaporte speaks of having arranged to receive every four
months, per Oceana, potatoes, onions
and fruit.'He also says that we can send
mail matter to him either by way of Sydney or Hongkong.
The letter of October ioth was from
Kusaie and says that Mr. Channon and

AMONG THE FARMER FOLK
A Letter From Dk.
Dobkmus Scuddeh
For missionaries a summer at Kar.uizava, under the shadow of Asainayama,
Japan's liveliest volcano, represents the
acme of enjoyment. In some unexplainable way the air in this lofty mountain
valley has acquired a tonic quality very
different from anything to be found at
Xikko, Hakone or any other of the noted resorts in the Empire. If not over stimulated by it, this atmosphere means
rest and health for those worn out by
over exertion while the association with
fellow-workers of all missions and no
missions wonderfully tones up the spiritual nature. As no place in Japan presented as good an opportunity for summer
Study, Mrs. Scudder and I were glad to
accept the invitation of my cousin Rev.
Frank S. Scudder of Nagano to share
their vacation home. More solid hours
of work were put into the language during two months at Karuizava than during an equal amount of time anywhere
else since reaching Japan. Meanwhile,
in order to carry practice along with
theory, a preaching service was opened
at Miyoda a nearby station on the railroad where the gospel was faithfully presented on Sundays for a month and a
half.
Our next move was to Niigata, our
former home and mission station. Here
we were most cordially received by
friends and fellow laborers of thirteen
Many changes had been
wrought in this period, some grave,
others full of cheer. Christian work in
this province has been beset with many
discouragements but within the past year
there has been a most hopeful improvement, conversions have been frequent,
backsliders have returned to the faith
and the church members are beginning
to ■'rake up _*ctive personal work. A tour
of the whole field of this station revealed
harvest time almost everywhere.
As Xiigata is one of the prefectures
from which large numbers of laborers
have gone to Hawaii, a vigorous attempt
was made to meet the relatives of these
emigrants. Various means were invoked
to achieve success. First the authorities
were asked for a list of names and adyears before.
dresses, and an attempt was made to see
a number of people in their homes. This
was found to consume so much time that
it was out of the question to cover much
ground in the few days available. How-
ever, the experience was one to be long
remembered. The simple farmer folk
were overjoyed to see some one wJio had
COme from the land where the loved son,
or husband, or brother had gone. One
young fello.v could hardly bring himself to believe that a foreigner could takeso much interest in his brother and exclaimed "'And are you not a Japanese
then?" Another, a hale old grandmother of over 75 years, seemed quite pained
that her oft repeated invitation to stay
and dine could not be accepted, and followed me far from her door. I can see
her now, her face with its halo of whitened hair framed in the hedge through
which she was peering as she waved her
farewell.
The second method tried was to secure the assistance of local evangelists
or Christian friends, to call together the
relatives of Hawaiian Japanese in some

proved mope successful than the first in
that many could be met with little expenditure of time but only a very few
centers could thus be reached and only
a small proportion of the people could
be gotten out in such an informal manner. When, however, the help of the
local government officials was requested
and tiiis request was seconded by influential letters of introduction, as was
'the case in one town, it was found that
:hc people responded in large numbers,
that government buildings (the only
available meeting places in many localities) could be secured and that greater
freedom and spontaneity characterized
the gathering. A large number of these
relatives came, bringing all sorts of requests and messages for their friends in
Hawaii. "I am an old man," exclaimed
a well-known farmer, "and can work no

more. Tell my son to come home." "My
boy," said a broken-hearted mother, "has
riot written to me in three years. I tlo
not know why be never answers my letters. Please say to him that his Father
is dead and my heart is sad because hehas
forgotten his home. Get him to write to

one touching appeal after another, all
taken carefully down in my notebook.
And as the hearts of these simple country folk were revealed to me, it was evident that here was a rare method opened
if establishing the closest personal -relation both with these farmers in Japan
and their kinsmen in Hawaii. All who
attended these gatherings were likewise
impressed.
The result of this experience was the
decision to make a systematic attempt to
meet as many of the families of Japanese
in Hawaii as possible. To do this the
diinl method detailed above that of securing the co-operation of the local authorities was the only one with any promise of success. Recourse was therefore

"IF I WERE A MINISTER"
By a Layman.
[Apropos to the discussions on the
relation of the church to the masses
and the influence of preaching in general, which are so common in these
times, we print the following article
from the Sunday School Times, by "one
of the most prominent laymen in
America." The writer evidently believes in going to church. —Ed.l
I am not a minister, nor at all likely
to become one. God has called me, I
believe, to my secular pursuit, amt
thereby made it as sacred as any pastorate. But if I were not a—what I am,
.
�6
I would rather be a preacher; and the
fact that multitudes of laymen make the
same admission is proof of the supreme
nobility of the preacher's calling, on the
principle that the second choice of all
the delegates to a political convention
is the fittest nominee. 1 revere the gospel ministry as the loftiest human occupation, and, if I thought that what I
am about to write would be 'held derogatory to that exalted pursuit, and
those that follow it, I should lay down
my pen with this period.
However, when that pillar fell in
Westminister Abbey a year ago, and
when certain considerations led London
10 fear for the foundations of St. Paul's,
men were not considered wanting in
reverence for their ancient monuments
when they raised strict inquiry concerning the causes of such alarms, and
demanded an account of those precious
charges from those custodians. Indeed,
11 any one censures my remarks, it will
not be the ministers themselves, but
their self-appointed apologists. The
eagerness of the modern clergy to receive suggestions from the laity has
even become a weakness, in some cases
arguing less a childlike willingness to
learn than a sense of insecurity and insufficiency. I would gladly sec our
ministers more sturdily independent.
In telling how I would do it if I were
a minister, I have not the least confidence that I should live up to my own
ideals, if tint to the actual test, nor that
even if 1 were able to do this, 1 should
not fall short in numberless particulars
not here set down. Doubtless the mysterious minister who. in the series Ol
articles-complementary to this, will tell
us laymen how to do it, would enter an
equal caveat. But I shall be glad, none
the less, or read his hints, and put them
in practice wherever he does not altogether shoot over the mark of a layman's life. Doubtless he will yield me
the same honest observance.
Perhaps it will not be out of place to
say that my calling has for years
brought me into contact with an exceptionally large number both of ministers
and laymen, so that my remarks may
claim some basis of experience. Also, I
want to say that, though I remain

church; they do not want a weekly review from the pulpit. To a minister,
with this theological training, the urgent themes of politics, science, and
literature, appeal with all the fascination of novelty. He forgets that for his
intelligent hearers all the novelty has
worn off while to then the fresh theme
is that very theology which has become
Irite and stale to him Moreover, tha:

•usscs the topic of imperialism, dozens
if men in the congregation are far better informed than In:, and will yawn at
his platitudes, deny Ins statements, and
controvert his positions. If he builds a
lermon on "Romola," or if his disburse is a veiled treatise on the nebular hypothesis, every high-school gradlate before him will resent such a resurrection of his school days. Hut if.be
preaches the great doctrines of sin and
salvation; if he gets his major inspiraion from the Bible, and not from Darwin, Kipling, or the Tribune; if he
reaches beyond the times to the eternities,—lie will compel attention by the
virility of his theme, and fascinate his
hearers with its novelty. Rejecting,
with David's wisdom, the clumsy armor
;>f a Saul, he will smite with his own
proper weapons, and the Goliaths will
■verywhere fall.
I am well aware that, of the increasing number of clergymen who, to my
apprehension, preach politics, literature and science, there is no one of
[hem all but would indignantly profess
to be preaching pure religion.
And, indeed, a religious finale is invariably appended to their sermons. But the scientific illustrations overbalance the truths
illustrated. The palpable zest is for the
struggle with Filipino or Boer, rather
than tor the combat with that outgrown
personage, Beelzebub. We stumble
against the religious conclusion of the
sermon with just such a shock as we
experience in meeting the reference to
Dr. Pulver's Purple i'ills at the end of
that fascinating column in the news-
'
paper.
The ministers that preach thus are
eager, I am sure, to be fishers of men,
but 1 am afraid they are using the
wrong bait. The laymen that go to
anonymous at the suggestion of the church go there, in the main, hungry for
Editor, and doubtless shall push an spiritual food. If 1 were a preacher, I
easier pen because of this anonymity, should give it to them "straight." I
yet I intend to write nothing I would should look into my heart, and, so far
not stoutly sign, and 1 hereby permit as possible, into theirs. I should brood
the Editor to tell who T am whenever over the sins and temptations, the hopes
he chooses.
, The
first thing I am moved to say is
that, if I were a preacher. I would not
preach literature, science, or politics. I
would preach religion. Laymen get
enough of the newspaper outside the
and fears, the worries and sorrows, the
triumphs and the joys, of our common
life. I should seek to draw from the
supernatural world some mighty inspiration for their labors, solace for their
griefs, assurance for their doubts, peace
for their turmoil, and enrichment for
their joys. 1 should let all the world
help me preach, but only as the glass
of the telescope is. permitted to focus
the light of the stars. It is no guess
of mine that the multitude would glad
ly listen to such preaching, since it has
for its model Phillips Brooks, and Spurgeon, and Moody, and McLaren, and
all the other preachers, and Christ himself.
In the second place, I have made up
my mind that, if I were to preach, 1
should not preach the higher criticism.
I have no quarrel with some of the
higher critics; they are learned and
godly men. I do not dispute their
theories, except when they are obliged
to attribute lo the writers of the Bible
insincerities and dishonesties thai
would shock a New York ward politician. Ministers know the absolute truth
about the Scriptures, and must preach
-n the light of that knowledge.
To preach the higher criticism, however, is like taking a starving man ink)
the kitchen, bidding him note just how
a loaf of bread is compounded. Men
are hungry for Bible food, and Bible
food ii not a treatise on the date of
Deuteronomy. If, before they mention
the possibility of a second Isaiah, ministers would estimate what proportion
of their audience has ever read more
than two chapters of those sublime
writings, they would postpone higher
criticism in favor of exposition. What
folly to discuss the composite character
of the liooks of Samuel before a congregation, not ten of whom could give
any account, beyond his boyhood, of
his second greatest of the ancient Hebrews! If the higher criticism does no!
undermine the faith of the higher critics, it is because in their case it is only
the superstructure of an intimate acquaintance with the Bible. To preach
these thorics before congregations not
thus founded in Bible knowledge, is to
lav granite blocks upon the quicksands.
If the minister should approach higher
criticism as poorly prepared as the average laymen before whom he recklessly
presents his critical conclusions, those
conclusions would make him as skeptical as they often make the laymen.
In the third place, if T were a minister
I would preach as if I meant it. We
laymen yield our hearts very readily to
any preacher who is possessed by his
subject. Ido not mean sawing the air,
nor shouting, nor those strained, impressive low tones. It makes no difference to mc —nor to most laymen—
whether a preacher uses manuscript, or
mere notes, or speaks out of his imnie(Continued on page 10.)

TEMPERANCE ISSUES.
Edited by
REV. W. D. WESTERVELT.
Rev. W. H. Rice, who for the past
year has been Superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League in Hawaii, retired
from that office the first of January, 1905.
Owing to lack of sufficient funds the
League decided to dispense with the services of a |iaid superintendent.. Mr. Ricehas aided both by song and stereopticon
in a number of meetings, during the
year. He has been especially helpful in
the services held in the native churches
around Honolulu. He has an excellent
stt'reopticon, fitted for cither electric or
acetylene gas lights, and a fine series of
volcanic views, and also of the Hawaiian
Islands. His plans for the future are not
vet definitely settled.
The Anti-Saloon League retains its office, for the present month at least at No.
<>, Mclntyre Building corner of King
and Fort streets. Mr. Rice will be in
the room a part of the time each day to
receive the payment of subscriptions due
during 1902, and also to aid any persons
coming for consultation. Other members of the League will take office hours
from 11-12 a. nt., when it can be so arranged as to be convenient.
The sale of intoxicating liquors to children is not confined to the Hawaiian Islands by any means. We have had some
flagrant cases here, but it is not done with
quite as bold a public statement a.s characterized tlie words of an officer of the
Liquor League of Ohio at a meeting
in which the interests of the saloon business were discussed.
"It will appear from these facts, gentlemen, that the sucess of our business is
dependent largely upon the creation of
appetite for drink. Men who drink liquor,
like others, will die, and if there is no
new appetite created, our counters will
be empty, as will be our coffers. Our
children will go hungry, or we must
change our business to that of some other
more remunerative.
"The open field for the creation of this
appetite is among the boys. After men
have grown and their habits are formed,
they rarely ever change in this regard.
It will be needful, therefore, that missionary work be done among the boys,
and I make the suggestion, gentlemen,
that nickels expended in treats to the
boys now, will return in dollars to your
tills after the appetite has been formed.
Above all things, create appetite!"
The foregoing paragraph appeared in The
Union Signal of January 28, 1897. The mci
dent therein related has been substantiated,
and we desire to hold it before the public, anl
especially before the fathers, until they pas;
judgment upon the saloon business.
The two most destructive evils in the
That we have nearly 11,000 barrels of
fermented liquor and over 17,000 gallons
of rectified spirits produced in these Islands and reported to the United States
authorities is a strong count —add to this
the vast quantity of liquors of all kinds
shipped in, and a river of liquid destruction can easily be recognized as pouring
through these Islands.
The Advertiser says, concerning the,
numbers of firms paying the federal tax,
"this makes one liquor dealer for every
339 and a fraction of the inhabitants of
the Hawaiian Islands."
If the destruction simply meant the
misery of the man who already drinks
we might let it pass as an almost hopeless case, and expect the fire to die out
when the material already on fire is burned tip.
But the law of the saloon is a natural
law to be placed in the same category as
any of the laws regarding the development of evil. They never burn themselves up. They never cease developing new material. Note the fact as engrossed on the experience of these islands. It proves the law
world are the social evil and drunkenness. There are few spots on the face
of the earth, where these two forces side
by side are not breathing out their poison. Their baleful influences never wilingly let go of their aged victims. Their
octopus hands try to fasten upon the
most secret desires of the young. That
any excuse or encouragement can he
given to them by reasonable men passes
belief. They have united to destroy more
homes, and waste more substance, and
weaken more moral stamina, and make
imbecile more brain power, than almost
all other criminal influences combined.

murders. But these two more injurious
evils arc excused times without number.
Either there is an awful element of callousness in man—an ohtuseness of perception of results, standing in the way
of the perfection of humanity like a precipice over which innumerable men fall,
or else there is an implied blame of the
Almighty. "Men have passions.
We
must provide means for their gratification." The charge that drunkenness and
the social evil the two most crushing
avalanches of pain and suffering, must
be fostered and provided with channels
in which to do their work easily, "because the Almighty made men so," can
readily be left to the Almighty himself to
meet when those who make the charge
stand before Him face to face. Reason
teaches that there will be an awful reckoning for the accusers of God. The
thing with which we have to do is the
unquestioned fact of the enormity of the
pitiful results of the continued cultivation of these evils as connected with practical every day life.

Advertiser made tbe following report

Now note the additional fact that although drunkards have died in numbers
during these six years past nevertheless
the saloons have gone on increasing.
Again it is almost the same as calling
the responsible men of our islands brainless, when we stop to point out the fact
that the law of the saloon demands new
material for its increased traffic. Here
is where the fiendish nature of liquor
selling receives its fullest development.
A man is but little short of being a fiend
wb< n he can deliberately make new material for drunkards.
Now this liquor question faces men
who arc not fanatics. It is one of the
most practical business propositions, before the responsible men of the community. It is pertinent to ask these men.
"What are you going to do about it?"
Can you afford to see the children of Hawaii lose their possibilities of good citizenship and useful lives and in continually increasing numbers be poured into
the continually enlarging hopper which
feeds the saloon?" An increase from 23
saloons in 1896 to at least 400 saloons in
1902 is a frightful menace to the business
prosperity of Hawaii. What are you going to do about it ?
It is not playing with idle words when
we say that the stories of the past ravages
of the social evil in these islands, are
horrible in the extreme. Yet all men
know that the social evil fattens upon
the victims of its twin brother drunkenness.

President R. H. Trent spent a couple
of weeks on Hawaii recently.
The Watch Night meeting of December 31st at Central Union Church was
divided in such a way that the time from
10 to 10:50 was given over to the young
people of the city. Special music under
the charge of Miss Florence R. Yarrow
was a feature of this part of the service,
as well as testimonies from the members
of the societies of the Union.
December 21st there was a special

to the pleasure of those present. A special collection was taken up for the purpose of sending Christmas presents to
some of the workers engaged in mission
work in the city. The Society also gave
a special donation of $20 from its treasury for other mission work in the Islands.
The Kawaiahao Sunday School had
their Christmas entertainment on the
evening of Thursday, December 18th.
The children did well in their exercises.
Church closed their year's work just before Christmas.
The sewing class sent several garments as a gift to the Kona Orphanage.
The average attendance each week is 125
girls.
A number of ladies help with the older
girls, and four Kawaiahao Seminary
girls have come every Friday and taught
the little ones.
The girls take great interest in the
lace work. This class is taught by one of
the Hawaiian girls who learned the art
at Kamehameha from Miss Lucy Adams.
Several pieces of lace have been sold. We
hope next year to do more and better
work.

REV.
JOHN PINNEY ERDMAN
After a service of three years and
four months as Superintendent of the
Palama Mission and Assistant Pastor of
Central Union Church, Mr. Erdtnan
leaves to accept an appointment as missionary to Central China or Japan, under
the Northern Presbyterian Hoard, Mr.
Erdman's attention was turned to missionary work while a student in the McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago
during which time he became identified
with the student volunteer movement.
He took up work in connection with
Central Union Church pending his appointment to the foreign field. His acceptance of his present appointment is
therefore but the carrying out of his
original plan of life work.
During his connection with the work
of Central Union Church, Mr. Erdman
has proved a most efficient helper. While
his chief activities have heen connected
with Palama Chapel, he has rendered
valuble assistance to the pastor, both in
the pulpit and work of the home church.
On several occasions he has supplied the
pulpit during the pastor's absence on his
summer vacation anxl his ministrations
have been greatly appreciated by the
church. During the three years and four
months that Mr. Erdman has had charge
of Palama Chapel, several have come into the home church on confession of faith
from that mission. Mr. Erdman carries
with him into his new field, the best
wishes of the entire congregation of Central Union Church.

FOUNDERS' DAY AT THE KAMEMEHA SCHOOLS
As usual, the chapel and assembly halls THE MEETING OF THE MAUI ASSOCIATION
were made beautiful by leis of mountain
ferns, gathered at dawn by students
eager to perform any service which
would further the success of the day.
At ten o'clock Friday morning the students marched to the Royal Mausoleum
in dignified procession, forming a square
about the tomb of the Kamchamehas, tbe
girls and the younger boys clad in spotless -white, the boys of the manual school
in their military uniforms. The service
at the Mausoleum was most impressive,
with its exquisite music, the pledges of
the students to be worthy their inheritance, and the scattering of flowers of
the royal color, purple and yellow.
At the schools, the Hawaiian flag float-,

The fact that it came at the close of
an active political campaign may have
had some effect on the attendance, which
was unusually small. All the East Maui
