man is not necessarily liar because he
is not onniscient. [ am, however, sadly
conscious of the fact that there now ex-
lists in Hawaii, kind of moral leprosy q
hone it is only an isolated case) which
impeIs its afflicted victim to seek to dis
seminate the pestiferous seeds OF reig-

AS to the advice which 'Medicus"
volunteers to the Hawaiian Government.
Permit to point to an incident from a
book with which I trust he is not en-
tirely unfamiliar which appears to offer
in some important respects, suggestive
parallel.
In the reign of Ahasuerus, a powerful
monarch of India and Ethiopia, a GER
tain Jew named Mordecai, who, being
himself the descendant of long and IL
lustrious line of kings, refused to do
obeisance to an envious upstart named
Hannah, who thereupon plotted the
downfall and death of the Jew Mordecai
and that OF all his people. ca religious
bigot is nothing if he is not thoroughly
But on searching the record it was found
that the Jew had really done the State
some signal service, which but
for the Vaccinations of the man
''who hated the excellence he could
not reach" might have been
lost in oblivion. Consequently, the Jew
was advanced in honor and favor whilst
the miserable schemer was elevated in
deed to an exalted position, but not the
one he had planned, which proved fatal
to him. The moral is obvious and is
summed upon the Commandment enun-
ciated by Divine authority through the
Jew, Moses, =" Thou shalt not bear false
witness against thy neighbor"
Iremain, yours faithfully,
