Some of the women visit every week the sick in the Hospital and in their homes, and have aided with money some poor sick people, ami have helped one to return to Japan. The Temperance Society formed when Mrs. Tarn Antlo was here, has been revived and officers chosen, Thirty have joined, and it is expected that many more will do si. It is for both men and women, and the Methodist Church unites with ours in it. The members wear a small blue ribbon badge. Last month, during the ten days' visit ot Mis. Pettee and Miss Griswold, a meeting for women was held one evening in the chuich, which was largely attended. The women listen attentively and apparently to addresses from both of these ladies. Refreshments were served at the close. One of those who came there for the first time, has been a faithful attendant at church services ever since. During the year thirty eight have been received into the chuich, 24 on profession I 4 by letter. Mi. and Mrs. Uyeda are still carrying on the good work in Hilo. and Mr. and Mrs. Sasakurain Papaikou. Mrs. Uyeda a small salary by the Ladies' is paid Mission Society in Hilo as Bible Reader, she also has a class of Japanese children in their own language. Mi. Sokabe went to Japan on a visit last Fall, and is expected back soon with a wife and sister. This wife is a trained nurse ard is highly spoken of. The �THE FRIEND 70 sister is to teach a kindergarten in Hoiiomu. A small chuich for the japan ese was built in Honomu through Mr. Sokabe's efforts before lie left for Japan The same evangelists as last year aie working at Kau, Hawaii, and at Paia. and Waihee, Maui. One of the two who were on Kauai has gone home, and his place has been taken by a new man who has had some experience, and seems well equipped for Ins work. His family were left at Japan, but will join him later. During the year, one hundred and twenty loin persons have been received into the churches on the Islands. This means, in some cases, families brought under Christian influences. It is interesting and encouraging that the Japanese in Honolulu have laised during the year for various forms of Christian work $ 1,27ft. 00. The Japanese Christians in Hawaii are but few among the thousands of their people, but we pray that they may prove like good leaven. Respectfully submitted, [September, 1897 world.''
