August was passed, and as Sep
TENDER came trooping In many of the
guests left us, but at no rare inter
walls we had the pleasure of welcom
ing some new conner who sought for
renewed energy and nervous force
to replace that lost in the hurry
scurry life of the city. None of the
hustle reached Us here; the angel of
sleep seemed to brood over the place.
and no wave from the outside world
ever reached US True other resorts
offered more amusements; but why
seek abroad what we were fleeing
from? Here each one left his trials
outside the gates and entered into
rest, in all that the word implies. l
would it were possible for me to give
TO my fellow men the emotions,
ideas and associations that sur
rounded me at Waikiki Villa. I
have taken You to all the places that
interested or amused me, "but go
there yourself, and look your eyes
out, you will never find what find
or have found" CHANGING back upon
my life here, it seems like sojourn
in Fairy Land, far from the turmoils
of life-far from life's cares. / ac-
complished little of the work had

wheels of life were at rest, and yet
I grew in those days like corn in the

not do, OF course, il this law is passed.
The passage Of the act will be positive

Rep. Bush said the argument OF the
Minister Of Finance was not good. He
held if the renewal were put up at auc-

hoped if no better arguments could De
advanced than those OF the Minister OF
Finance and the member from "aimea,
the House would pass the bill.
Rep. Kapaehaole said Rep. Bush was
like an old hen who said, I've got
twelve eggs, that means twelve chick
ems" His remarks were all very well
in theory, but they might not work as
he expected in practice.
Rep. White said the opponents OF the
| bill were interested parties, lessees OF
Crown lands, etc. The bill would in
crease the revenue.

OAHU EVANGELICAL ASSOCIATION.

The troubles of the mission at
Ponape from the Spanish officials,
and from the uprising of the natives,
were made the subject of conference
and prayer at the Wednesday even
ing meeting in Kaumakapili Church,
In the morning session, Thursday,
the Association discussed ways and
means of bringing the Gospel into
closer contact with the daily life of
the people. Addresses of sympathy
and friendship from the pastor and
delegate of the Central Union
Church, Rev. DIR. Beckwith and A.
l.. Smith, were the order of the day
at 10 o'clock, and similar addresses
from Rev. Messrs. Pond, Fisher,
Paris, and Mr. A. V. Soares. The
response to the Portuguese addresses
was made by Manuela, the delegate
from Kaneohe, Portuguese long
resident In these Islands, converted
to personal faith in Christ while
on board a whaler in the Arctic seas.
There was earnest discussion of the
question how to get our young people
to read and study the Bible. Several
members of the Legislature attended
the afternoon session and took part
in the deliberations Various reasons
were given for the falling off in church
attendance, the bad example of lead
ing people in society now, so unlike
the pious chiefs of the olden time,
the turning Sabbath days into days
of amusement, the common loose
talk against religion and religious
services, increasing competition with
other diverse social influences. The
Association voted that arrangements
should be made as soon as possible
for convention of Christian workers
for the study of the Bible and train
ing in modern methods of aggres
sive Christian work, a Bible normal
school. Adjourned, to meet next
April at Eva.
