Dear Sir: The Rev. S. X. Kamaka-

ciated churches of Kalaupapa and ka-
lawaO, at the leper settlement, and

send him there and support him in
that work, L would respectfully re-
quest the approval by the board OF
Health of this action, and that per-
NIT be sent for him and his wife and
his aged mother to enter that field,
and that while in it the usual ratlons
and lodgings be granted him and his
family as pastor of these Ieper
churches.
Believe me, my dear sir,
Yours faithfully,
O. p. EMERSON,
Sec. Hawaiian board.
President Smith asked what the
custom had been.
Mr. Carter thought the board
should not support the family and
relatives of the applicant. He did
not think it was right.
Mr.. Eua said there were two or
three preachers now there; he did
not think there was need for more.
MIR. Carter thought he should be
allowed to go on the same terms as
Father Wendelin.
Secretary Wilcox cited a case
where a native preacher had been
granted rations, also his wife who
accompanied him. The board de
cided this had been done without
authority.
Action on The matter was deferred
and the president was ordered to
confer further with Mr.. Emerson.
During the discussion mention
was made of the strong feeling be
tween members Of different demon
nations at the settlement, which was
deplored.
The question of the issue of rations
was brought up. 1t was shown by
reports that such had been issued in
excess of authority. Mr.. Tell had
done this.
Mr.. Carter said the question OF
rations was one that would have to
be handled without gloves soon.
The matter went OYER to the neX5
meeting.

| Or. Trousseau was read:
