Rotary of the Union Missionary society that the
King has allowed Dr. Judd minister Of the interior
To purchase the province of Makawao entire. ior
the purpose OF selling the land in small portions to
the people. M Green looks for great benefits
from this measure. He says:

70 rc days per month each besides m. on lands

Mr. Green's missionary zeal is not Of the sort
which expends itself exclusively in the medication
Of abstract theology He has the sagacity to per
ceve that sound and robust pety cannot exist
under a system which destroys the Independence
OF the people, and reduces them to the condition Of
scrs, and like sensible, practical man he is try
ing 70 induce them to become owners Of the soil.
1t is significant fact that at the same time that
the people are cndeavoring to acquire an interest
in the soil, the native churches are trying to sup.
port their pastors without foreign aid The church
at Waikiki, of which Mr.. Green FOR twelve
years the minister has raised $50 for its pastor.

Other churches are initiating this good example.
