TRAVELLING AROUND the WORLD

Rev c. H. Yatman, who !s holding
eyangel.stic services In Honolulu at
the Methodist church at present, is no
stranger to this city Three years and
half ago he was here when the chol-
era was threatening. Although the
hip was quarantined Mr.. Yatman's Ho-
nolulu friends brought him ashore. He
was then on his way around the world,
but remained here a few weeks and
gave a series Of highly successful meet
lngs. He made many converts and
friends then and Is enjoying this time
the renewing OF old mountaineering.
Mr. Yatman Is very interesting
talkcr. He possesses clear, pleasant
voice and has personal magnetism y
He is not a dry theologian, but a man
OF broad views, a thorough optimlst, a
nineteenth century man. He has firm
and abiding faith in the destiny OF the
Anglo-Saxon race and of the Americans
in particular, and Is a deep sociological
student.
Yes" he said, when seen by an Ad-
yertiser reporter, II am very glad TO
have the pleasure of being In Honolu-
Ia again. You know, | am no strang-
er here and since my last visit have
always had warm spot in my heart
for Honolulu. Its charm, It's beauty,
its touch Of the Orient mingled with
the progress of the Occident, Is such
that it cannot be easily forgotten.
And how this city is forging ahead.
Even during my absence of three
years wondrous Improvements have
been brought about, especially the
handsome business blocks, so many of
which have risen from little one-story
affairs.
II am strong believer In the ben
efits to be accrued by the Islands from
annexation. 1t will turn Honolulu in
to one of the great cosmopolitan cities
of the globe. And with the Nicaragua
canal and the cable-both OF which are
coming soon-nothing more can be de-
sired by these lovely islands.
II am now on my way on long trip
around the world. When ! get through
| this time there will be very few coun-
tries on which ] haven't put foot. ia
pan, China, Manila, Australasia, Egypt
all are in my itinerary, together with
many others.
| And speaking about Manila, ! want
to say word. ! am thorough ex'
pansionist. | have an abiding faith ir
the Christian civilizing abilities OF thu
Anglo-Saxon race. Imperialism? Thers
Is no such thing as imperialism It IL
against the doctrines which have been
inculca ed into every American from
his earliest childhood. But to take the
henighted natives and ChristianiZe and
civilize them Is different thing. And
let me tell you that America will give
such lesson of civilization to her pos
sessions as the world has never seen
before.
Il believe in the Anglo-Saxon alli-
ance because II Is in direct accord with
that guiding star. the Bible. With
America and England united nations
will think twice before they engage in
war.
See there" he said as he pointed tC
the Stars and Stripes and the Union
Jack intertwined, Il always carry them
that way. / am going to get a white
ribbon and twine 1t about them. On
that ribbon shall put that grand in
junction Of the Bible ON earth, peace
| NO, the world is not going to the
bad. II is getting better despite the
fact that a great many pess.mists anC
dyspeptics affirm the contrary. Ir
every mans heart there is a knowl
edge OF right and wrong. And higher
and better than that. in every man Il
the desire to do right. 1t may be fain
and hard to discern, but 1t is there.
is one OF the elements in the makeup
of man. II Is on that belief that
base my efforts in the saving OF souls
| Il look forward to great success II
my work here. There is a magnificen
field for good work. / shall be her
for two weeks and shall continue tn
services during that time. ! shall al
ways have lots of aloha for Honolulu
and its people"
