OAHU EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE
Scmi-AnnuaI Meeting y Full
Attendance.

There was a full attendant,
of pastors and delegates at
the semi-annual meeting OF the
Oahu Island Association. The
roads had been recently repaired
and this fact with the large guam
tity Of rainfall in part of the isl
and. made it difficult % reach Wal
alua with perfect puuctuality. But
the roads were not 50 bad a %
make it impossible for one enthusi-
astic b;cvlist 10 ride the whole dis
lance from Honolulu 10 Waialua in
six hours. The country never
looked more attractive. The wide
expan-e OF plain and mountain and
sea. spread out before the travellers
vision l. a constant delight. There
is abundant room for thousands of
happy homes. Waialua planta-
ton i extending its acres Of cane
fields over all the hill sides, a well
as the low lands, and the cane gives
promise OF an abundant yield. So
also the rice fields, with the rice
standing 80 tall and the heads Of
grain 80 heavy that In some places
it has begun TO fall before it Is ripe
enough for the sickle.
The church at Waialua Is one Of
modern style, with ample room for
the various social meetings OF the
church. The pastor, Rev. +. :.
Timoteo. Is one who fulfills admir-
ably the pastors office, caring for
his flock In every way possible TO
minister to their needs and their
uplifting. He was one OF the sani-
tary committee that made a thor
ough inspection Of every house,
and secured most thorough cleanli-
ness as the best preventive against
the spread of cholera. He makes
his home a hospital, and cares for
the sick, making sure that they
follow implicitly the directions OF
the very capable, efficient and pop
ular Government physician, DR..
Alvarez. The young people, un-
der the lead OF the pastor and his
wife provide pleasant social en-
tertainment, free To the whole resi-
dent population every moonlight
Thursday evening. The house of
worship was well filled Wednesday
evening to have some pointed adj
dresses on the lessons OF this provi-
Dental visitation of cholera at
Honolulu. Advantage was taken
of the occasion to enforce some
of the needed lessons on Gods laws
of cleanness for character as well
as health.
The usual routine business OF
the association was transacted with
most commendable promptness.
Assembling at 10 am. Wednesday,
the business was all completed at
IL am. of Thursday, and the Ho-
nolulu delegation had ample time to
reach home before nightfall. Some .
of the parishes were reported as
delinquent in raising money for .
the pastors support. An augmen-
tation committee was appointed to
take this matter in charge and .
secure a salary of at least $500 for
every pastor. y SpcCIdl COlIlIlIIIcc
was appointed to secure some more
union of the various
churches in the management of
Christian work among the different
The variety of Ian
guages makes it difficult to do so.
Mr.. Hoare, the careful and pains
taking teacher at Waialua, finds it
to teach properly his mixed
school OF Hawaiian, Portuguese,
Chinese and japanese. These are
i'm three different grades-seventy,
fifty and forty scholars-and,
though he has but two assistants,
he has not sufficient room for all.
