THE OUTLOOK.

The mission year closes with much
to cheer and encourage our hearts, and
as we look into the future we can see
indications Of further strengthening OF
our work. We hope to welcome this
year a strong reinforcement to our mis-
siOnary force, both for evangelistiC
and educational work.
From our different schools are com
ing into their young manhood and
wOmanhOOd an interesting company OF
bright and alert young people who
need guidance and help. The present
restrictions with reference to the in
coming of large numbers of Chinese
may be help rather than hindrance
in the more complete training and de-
velOpment of those already here, who
may become thus more thoroughly
fitted to help their countrymen here OF
in China. We should redouble our eff
forts to lead our Chinese Christians to
more spiritual life, to lay broad the
foundations of Christian education for
our young people, to preach Christ and
His salvation to those who are still in
darkness.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT.

Through the vote of the Hawaiian
Board, the superintendent has received
and expended the amount given below
from April l, 1898, to April /, 1899. The
differeat sources from which the board
has received it's contribution are in

y The donations mentioned under
General Mission Expenses have aid
ed many branches of our work in con-
nectiOn with school and evangeliStic
work, aid to mission chapel, support of
Chinese girls in Kawaihao Seminary,
mission kindergartenS, Sabbath school
supplies, etc. The ladies of the Ma
kawaO Missionary Society" still cOntin-
ue their generous aid towards the sup
port Of our earnest fellOw-wOrker, the
Chinese evangelist on Maui. Kind
friends in Kohala have aided in sup
porting our kindergarten at Makapala
while others have remembered our
work in Hilo. The Chinese mer
chants have given this year, as
hitherto, almost $500 to aid our Chi
nese day-schools. While a consider
ably larger amount has been cOntribu-
ted by church-members for church and
school, home and foreign missionary
work. Grateful mention is also made
here of generous help, rendered large
ly by the foreign and Chinese mer-
chants of Honolulu at Christmas and
midsummer, towards the celebrations
which delight the hearts of hundreds
of the school children.

9tE1gwNMALLN@. Demonstrating Tea.

This would be an odd an- nouncement some years ago. But now, with the advance of the industrial arts the fact that tea production to an enormous extent has been taken from the hands of the Chinese and Japanese and given over to the marvellous machines, makes it interesting to show wh ere the difference is between handmade and machine made teas.
 In the basement, the superiority of Cooper, Cooper & Co.'S India teas is conclu- sively shown. A bit odd in taste at first, but it grows fast into favor. There's more tea to the pound in this than in other teas. One teaspoonful, for instance, makes four cups of tea. Sold in quarter, half and pound packages, at the rate of ACC, Goo and Soc a pound.

Seconds" from these manufact- urers really mean "hrsts." In fact, many stores would sell them as "frsts," the blemishes are so very slight, but we'll be perfectly honest with you. The hurts consist of soiled spots here and there--no detriment to the wearing qualities of the gar. ment, whatever.

are other distinct evidence Of its honesty.
Consequently. though the narrative must
have been related frequently and even may

be found between Georgetown and Glen

either OF these couJecUIres was correct.
Mr Barrows was sure that the history was
a sad one He sighed heavily. Next with
considerable labor, he cut a headstone out
Of a shingle and into the timber dug a
crude verse. Then. with a sense Of duty

But the memory haunted him. When he
played and when he walked and when he
slept he saw the deserted grave with MS
