At the foot Of a gentle slope and

from it, is Kalawao, with the
Damien church and grave and the
Baldwin Boys Home. Father

in another month. His relief went
up in the Ke An Hou in the person
of an elder brother OF the late Father
Damien. This new man was TO
come from Belgium in the first
place, was taken sick aud his young
brother accepted the assignment.
Now after many years the account
between the two is adjusted in the
most poetic manner possible. The
church is a small one, well kept,
and the grave Of Father Damien is
carefully attended. Near it is a
social hall and reading room.
Across the road from the church
is the Baldwin Home. Two sisters
who have been there six years,

At the Baldwin home the visitors
were told of a death in the night
and a funeral in the early morning
which had reduced the number on
the register to I25. In this insti-
tuition Brother Joseph Dutton is
supreme, and a wonderful manager
of the place and father to HIS flock
is he. One brother assists him,
but in this place all are helpers to the
gentle ruler. Dutton is a we'll
favored, plain man of perhaps IS,
strong and energetic, with a
sunny, earnest temperament. He
was born in Michigan, United States
of America, served in the Union
army in the civil war of 1904, be-
came converted TO Catholicism and
on his own motion journeyed to Ha-
waii seeking a field of usefulness.
His work is a rebuke to selfishness,
and he an examplar of the manhood
protrayed by the Master.
Somewhat like the setting of a
western military post is the group
ing of the Baldwin Home. At the
head of the parade ground" is the
school, with wide lanais. And
what views from those lanais. The
sea stretches away and merges in
to the horizon. AT the beginning
Of the right foreground are two de-
minutive stone islands that stand
out very boldly. More to the right
and on to the rear are precipitous
cliffs, sheer pals, 1900 and 1000
feet. 1t was raining in the noun
tains. Clouds chung to the pail
faces and from the sides poured
silver streams, making an effect of
no less than FIVE waterfalls in sight
at once. The cataract of them all
dropped into the sea with roar that
carried three miles.
There was a parade on the par
ade ground. Forty boys marched
and counter marched and were
drawn up in line. "Antone" COM
manded them and they had been
preparing month for their various
visitors. Over the entrance to the
three acres endowed by H. p. Bald

man and woman, both very old,
were dying. There seemed cheer
in most of the wards. All are neat
and clean. In one blind man, of
advanced age, awaits the end in
christian patience. There is pride
on the part OF the inmates in the
grounds and quarters. Brother Jo-
seph aids them in all their plans. 1t
is he who directs the work for one
hour every fair morning, and the
parade ground is beautiful grassy
and lowered lawn, free from stones,
while back of the school large
garden is being started. The dis
pensary aud bathrooms and the
dining hall were inspected. The
awful part Of it is the place where
Brother Joseph dresses the sores Of
the lepers. Some Of the cases are

thought is that the fungus ears, the
swollen faces, the protruding lips,
the twisted fingers, the rotting toes,
are without pain. DIR. Oliver at
