OF God, larger work now demands
its supervision each year alike in the
home and in the foreign field. II
more money should be given for
such specific objects as may be Of
special interest to individual doners,
whatever is so given would be used
as wisely and economically as could
be desired The Queen Emma Hall
work for Hswaiians in Honolulu, the
kindergarten work among the Portu-
guese, the Portuguese church at
Hilo are instances of such specific
expenditures. All the Christian
work that ought to be done cannot
be reasonably demanded of the
Hawaiian Board alone. But to what
ever work the resources Of the board
may be wisely appropriated even
though not commensurably adequate
this community are well aware that
no department of Christian work
will be intentionally neglected. But
all in the community do not know of
the variety and amount of Christian
work that is carried on from year to
year under the supervision of the
Hawaiian Board here on these
islands.
First in its claims on our Christian
sympathies and beneficence is the
work for the native Hawaiisns. Of
the three girls schools, only that at
Makawao is entirely independent
of the Hawaiian Board. The Kawaia-
hao seminary, though the property of
the board. Is managed by board of
trustees who have thus far secured
from year to year the contributions
needed for its maintenance outside of
the treasury of the Hawaiian Board.
But the Kohala seminary has not yet
worked its way to such complete
independence, and for its support
beyond the receipts for tuition and
the capitation fees from the board of
education, will need $500 at least from
the treasury of the Hawaiian Board
to meet the necessary expenditures
above its receipts. The salaries of
DR.. Hyde and Rev. II. II, Parker are
paid by the A. B. c. I. NJ, but in ad-
dition 10 these the Hawaiian Board is
responsible for the weekly SUPPORT of
the students beyond what little they
can earn for themselves. For this,
and for repairs and other contingent
expenses. the board needs 500 at
least, perhaps $1,000, this year
Queen Emma hall is the headouar-
tiers of city missionary work among
the Hawaiisns, more than one fourth
of whom are resident in Honolulu.
A Bible school, provident society,
temperance league and debating club
are some of the departments of
work carried on in the building.

homeless and needy wander
ers as occasion requires. 1t is
also at present the headquarters of |
the japanese work, for Sunday ser
vices, midweek prayer meeting, tenn
perance society and Y. NJ. G. A. |
Wherever among the Ha-
waiians no church organization pro
vides gospel services the Hawaiian
board stations some preacher and |
guarantees a small salary. a gradu
ate of Kamehameha school who has
spent three years in Oberlin, has re-
turned home and been appointed to
The special charge of Hawaiian work
FOR young people Two pastors have
been engaged to spend the next six
norths in evsngelistic tours among
he Hawaiian churches. Grants in
aid are made to some half-dozen
,uperannuated and INDECENT pastors
md missionaries. Bibles and hymn
books are kept on sale, and given
lway if necessary, for use in Hawai-
an homes, churches and schools.
For all its Hawaiian work the board
Ipends over $1,000, more than one
bird of its total receipts.
Work among the Chinese has been
.arried on from the first under the
Iusplces of the Hawaiian Board Ihe
Jhinese church in Honolulu is in
barge of board of trustees, but the
Iawalian Board supplements defci
ncies in the salary of its pastor and
,ays large proportion of the salary

Intil recently one on Kauai, and
