tures interesting to the ordinary man.
The conservatism of his figures may be
gathered from a comparison of the estimated financial loss entailed by tuberculosis upon our country as calculated by
himself and Prof. Fisher of Vale. Dr.
Judd foots up an annual bill of $380,--000,000, while Prof. Pisher startled the
nation at the recent tuberculosis congress
with a total of more than a billion dollars.
After endorsing the administrative measures for combatine the disease
by Dr. Herman Piggs of the New York
Board of Health, Dr. Judd proposes that
in Honolulu these be instituted, that in
addition the plan of public school medical examination advocated by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, Hon.
W. 11. Babbitt, be put in operation, that
a campaign of public education, both in
the schools and throughout the community, be begun and that a work farm
and sanatorium for consumptives be
maintained. He specifically commends
the good work of Leahi Home and the
excellent service rendered by Palama
Settlement, calling attention also to the
College Club's new tuberculosis nurse.
No more public spirited community than
Honolulu exists in America and there is
little question that in consequence of I)r
Judd's careful presentation of the extreme urgency of the question the suggested measures of relief will he inaugurated. We may soon hope that our
city's black record of one-sixth of deaths
from all known causes due to tuberculosis may be brought up not only to
the average of one-ninth which prevails
elsewhere throughout the Union, but
even considerably alxive 'hat menacing
figure. Our climate deserves better
things than our tuberculosis figures show.
such scrupulous cleanliness, a joy to
medical eyes, has been evolved from the
previous conditions is a poser. A recent
land purchase ,rives the locus for a
swimming tank through which clear
artesian water is always coursing. Judge
Hart and the Oahu Railway Company
know the secret of the wherewithal for
these. A large low tield of useless land
adjoining has just been secured—thanks
to the Mary Castle Estate —and one hears
a rumor of model tenement:; soon to follow. The entire work lias been a growth,
the most economical use of meager resources enabling the Settlement to add
first one then another feature when the
demand became so imperative that it
could not be resisted. The ministry of
the Settlement is as wide as (iod's sky.

are asked. Catholics, Buddhists, devotees of Shinto or Confucius, all are welcome and in consequence the love and
loyalty of all are lavished 11(1011 the place.
Non-Christian Japanese volunteered offerings to help erect the natatorium. The
nurses go all over the city whenever called by physicians to minister to needy
homes. The social status of the entire
neighborhood is being slowly raised.
Some day the old time tenement will have
been driven out of the section by its
healthfuller substitute. It is no wonder
that a preventive work of this sort, which
aims at removing the causes of evil conditions of life, while it also has appealed
so strongly to the large number of people
who contribute to make it possible.
Palama's Day Coming.
Judge Hart's letter in re Palama Settlemet published early last month in the
Advertiser served to focus attention upon
this remarkable institution in an altogether unique way. Indeed so quiet has
been the growth of Mr. Rath's work and
so unostentations its wide ministries that
until one investigates what it is actually
doing, the suspicion of its large hold iqxm
all classes in its section of the city never
crosses the mind. Few Honolulans have
any idea that this modest little center is
sending forth influences which bind social
classes remarkably. One reason for this
is that the Settlement while in the very
focus of the worst in Palama lies hidden
from sight. The building abutting on
north King street is anything but striking in appearance. Disreputable looking
tenements shut it in on all observed sides.
A short alley leads, however, to a grass
plat most refreshing to the eye in contrast
with the surrounding dullness. The Pure

A business leader who is one of Honolulu's best known experts in financial
statements said a few days ago of the
annual report of Rev. R. li. Dodge, "I
do not know him personally, but that is
the best financial statement of the kind
I have ever seen." He was right. Such
a document ought to be studied by every
business man on the Islands who loves a
thing well done. No wonder Maui forges
to the front when she can show an annual
record like this one. The island has a
noble team of leaders in Turner of I'aia,

Editor Shiba.
He spells himself Sheba in his paper,
but no former resident of Japan can go
this spelling concession to our wretched
unscientific English orthography. Mr.
Shiba is doing a splendid work for his
nation and for ours in his persistent attempt to lead the two races in these Islands to know one another better. The
Hawaii Shinpo, which he edits, is the Advertiser nl the Japanese. Its Sunday issue has one page in English. 1 f this were

with the genius of our people, for

Europeanized half. And it is not the
Europe in .America that japan can appeal to for ideal justice. It must he the
Xew World conscience which is after all
the will-inspircr of the Nation. However this is an aside. Mr. Shiba has lately scored three notable achievements in
his paper.. The first of these is his advice to his countrymen, whose children
bom on .American soil are likclv to continue to live here, to educate them as
Americans. I'nfortunateb' the Buddhist;
of Hawaii have made their appeal to the
Japanese chiefly one of patriotism and
have endeavored to train un the children
of their race to be ardent Nipponese owning allegiance solely to Emperor Mutsuhiti,. Naturally ibis has appealed powerfully to the unthinking rank and file who
could not understand that such a course
must keep their children aliens in their
new land and shut them out of the sympathy of their comrades of other races
here who are true hearted Americans.
The Chinese have faithfully followed the
opposite course and have lived to see
their young people trusted citizens of this
commonwealth. Editor Shiba advises his
people to r/et into line with all the rest
of the world that moves into America.
He is right. The bonds which tic our
country to innumerable fatherlands are

can do nothing better than to counsel Hawaiian and Mainland Japanese to train
their children into the most ardent
Americans possible. It is for this reason
that far sighted American, Chinese and

service in hi- advice to his countrymen.
The Shimpo's Two Other Services.
The Hawaii Shimpo had the wisdom
to discern in the coming of Dr. De Forest,
a man of whom the Janancsc community
could make large use. Mainland Japanese realized this and utilized the opportunity,. ( me of the strange things about
cur Island Japanese leaders is their fail*
ure to take advantage of the coming
hither of notable missionaries to their
own country. They thus lose the chance
to acquaint them With their point of view.
Missionaries are great advertisers because they are forever addressing
thoughtful "people in at least two nations,
their own and the one in which they
labor. It would pav Hawaiian Japanese
to get hold of everv prominent missionary
to their country as he passes through and
exchange impressions with him. Mr.
Shiba did this to some extent with Dr.
De Forest and scored a distinct gain.
The latest move of this versatile editor
has been to counsel his countrymen not
to press their demands for higher wages
to the striking point. He is wise and
his arguments are peculiarly sane. It
would be far better for the Japanese leaders to stimulate their men to ask for better housing on a number of plantations
and to make full use of every facility
offered them for acquiring permanent
homes hen- than to set them at
loggerheads
with their employers.
Some of the plantations are offering separate houses with surrounding "lots of land to faithful men with

since two years ago. We have a
town. Tbe political parties have given us better men in general
to vote for. The campaign is being run
on cleaner lines and by splendid men
who are in it for the noblest purposes
and are trying to make the best of a complicated situation.
Meantime the Civic Federation has
issued its biennial pronouncement It is
brief, clear and exactly what the ordinary voter needs who wants good government and that only. Doubtless some
mistakes have been made, but the work
has been honestly done. Not a few citizens still misunderstand the Federation.
They fail to see that the Executive Committee is intrusted by the Federation with
full jKiwer to do the work done by it
at election time. The federation, as a
whole, never could do it. That only a
comparatively small body of men trusted
by the larger organization can successfully accomplish this task, is the experience of communities thruout the Mainland from Chicago down. In Honolulu
the committee is fifteen strong, reduced
just now by some absentees and vacancies. These eight or nine men do not
love the task. It means many patient
hours and a definite aftermath of disgruntled folk who are sure to harbor a
personal grudge. Hut this is a small
price to pay for the ultimate end of a better governed city. The conscience of the
crowd is correct in the long run and the
work of the civic Federation helps the
ordinary voter to mark his ticket according to his conscience.
One thing is clear—the Municipal Act
needs amendment. As it now stands, it
conies dangerously
near bidding for
a Mayor who is either an incompetent or
a rascal. Not that either of the three
men named for the office this year belong
to cither of these categories, for be it remembered that Theodore Roosevelt is an
example of the good citizen who has no
business but politics. Hut as a rule,
the man of leisure is either a poor tram])
or a rich parasite. .And it is dangerous
to run such a risk of having our city's
chief executive drum for either class as
is forced upon us by our Municipal Act.
By all means let it be amended. Honolulu ought to have the privilege of choosing its ablest man of affairs as its Mayor
if it can induce him to serve. Make the
office honorable and not a sop to the lazy.
nor a comfortable berth for an out-ofwork. Then the best men will not refuse
it. There was a time when the humblest
offices in New England towns were filled
by the busiest men of the best traditions
and education, proud to serve the people.
Honolulu has the stuff to repeat the experiment —"Chief of all, servant of all."

That is rood. Let us have more expressions of appreciation. 1'ut let us
back them up with a demand that the
laws which deal with these offences
shall be enforced. Certainly it requires
no great skill or heroism to enforce the
law against those who are guilty of
immoral exposure of the body. Such
exhibitions of indecency as the Sparrow Dance belong in a class with the
bath-house disgrace and the needed
reform in clothing. Let a few offenders be made an example of and reform
would be immediate. And as for the

of giving our sympathy and support to

BEGGARLY TACTICS.
For many years an excellent private
school has been maintained by Mr. S.
Sokabe in Honomu. Both i" the grade
of work done and in the excellent character of its teachers this school has ful-
filled every reasonable requirement for
educating the Japanese children of
Honomu in the use of their own language. But merely because it was a
flourishing institution under Christian
management, the Buddhists, in jealousy, sought to cripple it by starting
an opposition school directly across the
street.
As these scholars had been receiving
tuition free, the Buddhists had to offer
equally good terms, and in order to
support the school they had to resort
to levying a tax of fifteen cents on
each Japanese in the vicinity. A dignitary of the faith makes his monthly
circuit from house to house, to make
sure that none arc exempted from paying their fifteen cents. We wonder if
this is what is meant by "turning back
again to the weak and beggarly rudiments?"

REV. WM. BREWSTER OLESON
Corresponding Secretary.
HAWAII AT THE SEATTLE
EXPOSITION.
What shall be the nature of the historical exhibit of Hawaii at the Alaska-Yukon-I'acific Exposition at Seattle in
This is a pertinent question in view of a recent request made
by the Cnited States Government
Hoard of Managers of the Exposition.
Writes Mr. W. dc C Ravenel of the
Smithsonian Institute: "The exhibit is
to include the showing of the part
played by religion in the history and
development of these regions (viz.:
the Philippine and Hawaiian Islands).
As the missionaries of the American
Hoard of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions were the bathers of the Christian Church in Hawaii and the founders of its civilization, it is proposed to
make the work of these missionaries
a special feature of the exhibit of religions in the Hawaiian Islands."
Mr. Ravenel has accordingly asked
the American Hoard for "such objects
in its possession as would illustrate the
planting and development of Christianity in the Hawaiian [stands, Such
objects are. for instance, documents
(original or facsimiles) relating to the
establishing of Churches and other re
ligious institutions; models and photographs of Church buildings, schools,
etc.. which are under Church control;
prints or photographs <»f the missionaries past ami present Church
registers (originals or copies); devotional literature and religious literature, printed and used in the islands.
Pot the sake of contrast it is also desired to show the pre-Christian pagan
rites and practices of the natives of the
islands. It would be greatly appreciated if a loan could be secured of
relics of the heathen times,—-models
and photographs of temples, shrines
and altars: idols and other objects con
meted with worship and magic; outfit
of i priest and sorcerer, etc."
Now the Question arises: Is this the
kind of exhibit that will be <>f advantage to Hawaii? Naturally scientific
men would wish an exhibit as complete! v representative as possible of all
statrcs in the evolution of Hawaii out
of barbarism into twentieth century
civilization. But a trreat popular exposition is an arena for advertising the
advantages that have been achieved
rather than the disadvantages and
crudities that have been abandoned.
;
There are misconceptions enough
abroad about Hawaii already. We
ought not to add to them by giving the
cursory visitor at Seattle the impression that Hawaii is still benighted.
That impression is sure to be conveyed
when pictures or objects harking back
seventy-live years are brought to the
front.
The glory of Hawaii is that it is
abreast of the age. People do not
know this away from here. We are
faciig the same modern problems in the
same modern conditions that arc testing the rest of the world. And the
ideal exhibit would be one that would
show what has been wrought in the
span of a single human life in actual
constructive development. We can
make a splendid showing at Seattle of
what we are now in our educational
and religious development. Let Bishop

Notes From The Field
First Fruits.
Monday evening, Oct. iq. witnessed a
joyous celebration among the Japanese
of Koloa plantation. Six young men, the
first fruits of Mr. Kotani I labors, made
open confess'ou of their faith and were
baptized. One night, after dismissing
his llihle class and retirng, Mr. Kotani
was roused by a knock at the door. Two
voting men of the class he had been
leaching for a year, had come back to
confess their faith. Others soon followed and of this class six have been under
special instruction, and now form the
basis of what we hope will become the
Japanese Church of Koloa. The rite of
baptism and the celebration of the Lord's
Supper are strange cents in that camp
and it required no little courage in this
band of young men to be gazed at
through the windows by the curious
crowd, but we were deeply impressed by
the fact that in this p'ace where, a year
ago, the preaching of the gospel met
with mud: opposition, there was not the
least disturbance nor voice of jeering to
mar the impressive ceremony.
Mutual Benefit Society.
This is the name of a young men's club
established by Mr. Kotani in Koloa. The
evangelist gives out a subject, or a book
or tract as a basis of study, and the
young men meet once a month and give
their views on the subject in a five
minutes' speech. They manifest great
interest and increasing skill in the disepiestions of the evening.

Strengthening the Stakes.
The art of holding what has been
gained is no less important than skill
in getting. Realizing this, the Japanese
have sought to strengthen the faith of
the large number of new converts by a
series of special meetings for instruction
which have "been held every Thursday
and Friday evening during the month of
�November, 1908,
October. Each meeting was addressed
by two persons, one a Japanese and the
other an American. Subjects were assigned to the speakers in such a way as
to secure a systematic presentation of the
great themes of religion,—God, Sin, Redemption. The Savior, The Present Life
and The Life to Come. A beautiful spirit
of unanimity has prevailed throughout
these meetings, denominationalism being
lost sight of and each Church and Mission in the city being p«ed in its turn as
a place of meeting.
A Felt Loss.
The departure of Rev. D. W. Crane
for the Coast has called forth expressions of regret from every quarter. Fewpeople have such a gift in winning the
hearts of all classes of people as do Mr.
and Mrs. Crane. While earnestly devoted to the welfare of the Methodist
Church Mr. Crane's large hearted liberality led him to cooperate no less earnestly
with others in every good cause. KeenIv alive to the welfare of the community,
a valued member of several organizations, and a friend of everybody, his departure from Honolulu will be felt as a
public loss and as a personal disappointment to a host of friends. We hope that
the health of Mrs. Crane, which was the
cause of his leaving us, may soon he restored.

well, though the rfirrg program began

point.
Before the exercises were over, the
Rev. Isaac D. laea, pastor of the Kaluaaha Church, advanced to the platform carrying a beautiful Bible and a
handsomely bound copy of "Hoku Ao

He announced that these books and
the sum of $50 in gold coin were a gift
to the Church from Judge E. P. Aikue,

present in the audience, having come
up to Molokai for the meetings and
that the venerable judge might also revisit the scenes of his boyhood days,
being a kamaaina of Molokai. The
generous gift of Mr. Aikue was much

There seemed to be much life and interest in all the discussions and the
various devotional services were conducted with a most helpful spirit. The
singing at all times was a noteworthy
feature. Rarely have hymns been better
sung at any gathering of Hawaiians.
Rev. J. A. Akina, pastor of the Church
at Waimea, presided at the sessions of
the S. S. Association.
Friday afternoon Mr. Akina called on
Mr. Judd to say a few words to the Association. After a word or two of greeting Mr. Judd spoke of the greatest need
of the Hawaiian Sunday Schools—better
teachers. The need of a hand-book on
"Biblical Introduction" in the Hawaiian
language was spoken of and many of
the Sunday School workers present said
later that such a book would be most
useful.
Various matters of a routine character
occupied the rest of the Sunday School
daily Bible study and in closing brought
the greetings and best wishes of the S. S.
Association of the Territory.
Mr. Oleson then spoke of the Sunday
School as a place for the correction of
error, the teaching of the truths and the
application of the truth. He made some
very useful suggestions in regard to
memorizing verses, the value of studying the geography of Palestine and other
matters. The Church was filled with a
large and attentive audience.
Monday morning the business sessions
were held until about 10:30 o'clock when
a recess of several hours was held, during which many of the delegates drove in
carriages to the famous barking sands
of Mana. Returning to Waimea in the
latter part of the afternoon the concluding sessions of the Association and the
S. S. Association were held.
Early Tuesday morning the C. E.
held its final meeting and the delegates
then scattered to various parts of the island to gather again at Waimea in the
latter part of April.
hours.
Saturday night the popular concert in
Waimea Hall was a most successful affair, the room being crowded and the
program well rendered. About $140
was realized from the sale of tickets and
this amount went towards the expenses
of the Association meeting.
The Hoike.
Sunday morning the Church was filled
to overflowing with the crowd that came
to take part in the hoike and to witness
the interesting exercises. There were
songs and recitations by the Sunday
Schools of Waimea, Kekaha, Mana, Hanapepe, Koloa and Lihue, also by government officials—judges, deputy sheriffs, etc.—by delegates to the Association and by a group of men called "na
malihini." It would take too much time
to mention special features in the long
program which lasted three hours. It is
sufficient to say that the exercises were
most interesting and in many instances
showed careful training. A collection,
amounting to $41, was taken up.
In the evening there was a C. E. prayer-meeting, after which the S. S. Association held a service in honor of the
World's Sunday School Sunday. Hon.
W. H. Rice of Lihue, president of the
Hawaiian Sunday School Association,
presided.
The two speakers were Mr. Judd and
Mr. Oleson. The former spoke of the
work of the Hawaiian S. S. Association

TYPICAL MOLOKAI SCENE
THE OAHU ASSOCIATION MEETING,
KAUMAKAPILI CHURCH,
HONOLULU, OCT. 9-10, 1908.
The autumn meeting of the Oahu Association was held in the Kaumakapili
Church on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 9
and 10. For various reasons the sessions
were shorter than those of the Hawaii,
Maui and Kauai Associations and less
interesting to an observer, being devoid
of the features of the concert and hoike,
so prominent on the other islands. The
business sessions were conducted with
such dispatch that the final session was
on Saturday evening.
As usual, the Sunday School Association was given several hours, most of
which was used in the presenting of reports, statistical and otherwise, and the
transaction of routine business.
Mr. J. K. Paele of Waikane presided
at the meetings of the Sunday School
Association. Saturday morning he in-
troduced
Superintendent Judd to the
audience and asked him to tell something
of his work.
Mr. Judd's remarks were translated
into Hawaiian by Rev. O. If. GuHck. He
Spoke of his recent experiences at the
meetings of the Hawaii and Maui Associations and his travels on Oahu, visiting
the Sunday Schtxds. Then he took up
the topic assigned him, "Pushing Tor-
ward Our Sunday Schools," and spoke
of the needs of the Sunday Schools and
how every one could assist in the matter
of attendance and attention. Interest in
the class can be increased by preparation
of the lesson beforehand and by the resolve to give something during the halfhour of study.
Apart from this address there was no
other along Sunday School lines. During the two days there were adtlresses
by Dr. Scudder, Rev. J. P. Erdman, Rev.
F. S. Scudder and Rev. M. K. Xakuina,
bearing upon various topics of interest
to the Association.
The sessions proved to be helpful to
the delegates, even though less dramatic
and less interesting in many ways. The
spring meeting of the Oahu Association
will be held at Waikane April 9-11,
1909.
Indications Which Indicate.
The following indications of interest
are gathered from the field through our
correspondence and from our statistical
reports:
About 20,000 Primary Departments
report separate rooms.
About two hundred more banner
counties are reported than we had at
Toronto.
Our 9,258 Teachers' Meetings is an
advance of about 1,200 over former reports.
Ontario, Oklahoma and Kentucky
lead the rest' of the field in House
Visitation.
The little Island of St. Kitts in the
West Indies has ordered one hundred
Teacher Training books.
The inauguration for the first time of
the Intermediate Department, which is
making fine headway.
A phenomenal three years' work in
Mexico is attended by results most
gratifying to the local committee.
The centralization of cur offices in
the City of Chicago was made a necessity by our growth. One of the signs
of the times.
Association papers have been started
during the past three years by Wisconsin, Louisiana, Ontario, Virginia,
Oregon and Hawaii.
The total Sundav School enrollment
of North America is nearly 1,000,000
lareer than it was three years ago.

and the large portion of his all too
meager month's salary, to place that petition before them. The application was
refused.
'The Liquor Commissioners of Maui
are an upright, fair-minded set of men.
They prove the wisdom of the present
liquor law and are an honor to Governor
Frear. These Commissioners are Messrs.
J. N. S. Williams, D. C. Lindsay, H. A.
Baldwin, C. D. Lufkin and George Copp.
At a meeting of the Maui Ministers'
Association held at the Makawao Foreign Church the same day the Commissioners killed the Pukoo saloon application, the story of Mr. laea's heroism was
told, and inside of five minutes a purse
of $10 was raised, and a letter of congratulations to be sent him was signed
by every member present. Our Maui
ministers know a good thing when they
see it.
E. B. T.
Temperance Issues
REV. W. D. WESTERVELT.
A TEMPERANCE HERO.
Any one who was privileged to attend
the semi-annual Maui Association meeting, held at I'ukoo, Molokai, last month,
will not soon forget the memorable gathering of eight hundred people at the Sunday services held in the old historic Kaluaaha Church.
This second largest Church in the islands was built by Father Hitchcock, and
stands near the Molokai shore, looking
out upon Maui, Lanai and Kahoolawe
as a monument to his memory. Rut for
many long years this old Church has
been almost deserted. It has had no
minister for some time and the old stone
building is in sad need of repair.
About six months ago the Rev. Isaac
D. Iaea was transferred from Maui to
become pastor of Kaluaaha Church. At
"once the long neglected Church began to
revive and to take on new life both with
added numbers and with a deeper and
more earnest spirit.
For four months there has been no
saloon at Pukoo, nor on the eastern end
of the island. The only saloon on Molokai is at Kaunakakai. At the time of
the conference, when eight hundred of
the thousand inhabitants outside of the
Leper Settlement were in the old Church
and about its grounds, it was remarked
by many that it was a most orderly
crowd, there being not a single case of
drunkenness. Many said that this happystate of affairs could never have existed
if Pukoo had had a saloon, Sabbath day
or not, nor if the convention had been
held at the drinking village of Kaunakakai, fifteen miles down the beach.
About a month ago a Chinese storekeeper at Pukoo made application for a
saloon license. We knew it was time to
get busy. The only thing that could keep
the saloon out of Pukoo would be a
vigorous protest signed by a large number of Molokai people.
Mr. Iaea was the man to work the
petition and he worked it, for all there
was in it. The life of his Church depended upon killing that application. He
knew it. What matter it, if the wife of
the applicant was a member of his
Church; if there was so much apathy
that no one cared to make a move.
Backed by a few earnest opponents of
the liquor traffic on Molokai and by some
chronic objectors to Demon Drink on
Maui, Mr. Iaea rode from one end of
Molokai to the other securing names protesting against the Pukoo saloon.
And he got the names of the influential people of the island. One of the
managers of the Molokai Ranch recently
told the writer that they did not like their
natives going down to Kaunakakai, or to
Pukoo, when they had the saloon there,
as they were always drinking and gambling there, and the influence was anything but good. It can be said of the
management of this ranch, which controls 90,000 acres of land, that it sanctions no drinking among its men. It was
not to be wondered at that this manager's
name was on the petition. But so was
the name of the County supervisor, of
the deputy sheriff, of the district magistrate and of seventy others of the best
people of the island. There was no
doubt what Local Option would do on
Molokai.
Mr. laea had only two or three days SHORT EXTRACTS FROM MISS

A WEDDING,
July 10.
'Tuesday morning, quite a cavalcade of
us started for the wedding. As there
were so many who wished to go I ordered the chair, and although I started
at the tail end of the procession I soon
overtook all the rest of it. Out by the
boys' school Wu Mu Shih and Chang
Hsien Sheng were just getting into their
cart, and the younger teachers and students, who were friends of the bridegroom, were straggling ahead along the
road, carrying umbrellas or wearing big
hats to keep the sun off. They looked
very funny. Still farther ahead was the
other cart with two young women, Sim
Li and Shu Lull, and two older ones.
When 1 was about a mile from the village I heard the music that accompanied
the bride's chair, off to the west. The

We sang the usual songs with the ad-
dition of a song about the ten virgins
waiting for the bridegroom, which Wu

the occasion, .After the ceremony they
led the bride into lier room and her
mother-in-law promptly put a lunch

but after her own family got there she
got over her shyness and was her natural

low tone that you could hardly hear.
We were sitting immediately outside
the door when her husband went in to
look at her and the food, and his little
sister listened to hear what he would say.
She reported that he said. "< >h, this is
