a farewell social was given to Mr.,
Theo. II. Davies ut the Y. NJ. c. \,
hall last night. 1t was well attend.
ed,although rain probably kept many
people away. Mr.. +. j. Lowrey
presided. Mr.. =. ID. Fuller and the
guest Of the evening were seated ON
the platform. above which was
canopy of the American, Blitioh.anl
Hawaiian flags. The chairman con.
cludcd opening remarks by request.
ing that the audience should give no
recalls.
The programme was as follows:
Song, kamchameha Glee Club;
Piano solo, Miss Hathaway; Solo,
Mr.. Richards, with chorus by la.
mehameha Glec Club, the club re-
spending to a recall; Recitation,
Mr.. ii. w. Peck Song, kameha-
mcha Glcc Club.
Mr.. Fuller wanted TO say few
words to young men. He always
liked an object lesson and they had
one there in the person of Mr..
Davies, who was one of the AsSori.
| atoms most earnest supporters.
One reason was because he knew
what ii was To be n young man far
away from home, and, although
having long passed the time when he
needed the help of the Association,
Mr.. Davies sympathised with young
men from home who needed friendly
encouragement. lie commended
Mr.. Davies example especially in
this respect to all young men. Mr..
-. was one of large number who
early manifested an interest in this
Association. It would be snrpris-
ing to hear Of the large number of
men who had been interested in this
organization in other lands, but who
soon lost interest in II after coming
here. lie did not think there was
an Association in America which
was better equipped than this one.
The electric lighting OF the building
was n great Improvement, and all
kinds of parOr games were available
in the rooms. Mr. Davies came
here as q young man, like many of
those he saw present. BY his in
tcgri'y, by his uprish,ness of life,
by his adherence to the principles
he brought with him, he has attain
to position honored by God and
respected by men. The speaker be-
licvcd there was not young man
here who follows the example Mr..
Davies has set but would reach II
degree Of success that would honor
him. 1t meant having goal worthy
Of striving to attain. He had learn
ed to love Mr.. Davies as u Christian
and friend, had enjoyed his So
cicty and was sorry to see him
leave, and now hoped he would have
n safe return to his family, and, if
he was spared to return to see
them, they should give him a warm
welcome. lts.Nt
Mr.. Davies Illustrated the awk-
ward position in which he had felt
himself the last ten minutes by a
little story. He was never quite
clear what n social meant. At 0
farewell social to Rev. Mr.. Ostrum
at K0hala he had been asked to Civ,
4 talk on India, which was one way
it appeared of making social. III
related an incident told him b,
=. General Secretary Walker of tn
Sydney Y. NJ. G. A., of q LOndol
bankers son who had brought hin
letters of introduction, but whit
turned out to be thief and had Il
be sent home. Boys always ha,
friends in the general secretaries o
Y. NJ. G. AS. This man needed
their sympathy and he felt lik'
pclting Mr.. Fuller with words q
kindness such as he had rained OF
himself. The speaker told of an
: other boy introduced by letter tt
) the Sydney secretary who turned
out to be scamp. All honor t
George Williams of London whit
started the organization. Neve
criticize man who is doing worl
that you are neglecting. When h.
saw this tall, delicate man speakin!
here, time after time with consum
ing earnestncss, he felt that III
, (Mr. Fuller) was wearing out hi
. life in this work. Mr.. Davies spok
of the great pleasure he had enjoyed
during the two months of his visit
and said he wished to go back to Eng
, land with thoughts Of the kindnes
here experienced. lie was glad hi
son was with him, because he fearc
! he should he too modest himself L
. tell his wife all their kindness.
