Cadet Mcleod Writes of His
Exper ences on That
Island.

The Salvation Army War Cry has a
letter from Cadet Mcleod of that or
ganization written at Wailuku, Maui,
as follows:
Having received marching orders for
my first appointment, l proceeded to
Honolulu and reported to Major George
Wood for duty. He informed me that
was appointed to assist Captain Bam-
berry on the Wailuku Circuit. after
complying with quarantine regula-
tons / was allowed to proceed aboard
the steamship Claudine. en- route for
Maalaea Bay, where / arrived after a
trip of sixteen hours. Neptune was
kind to me. Hacks met the steamer at
the bay, so 1 had no trouble with the
last seven miles of my journey, where
Captain Bamberry was waiting with
welcome that led me to believe that
he is disciple to the text. 1T is not
good for man to be alone"
At the first meeting / was struck
with the lung power of the Waikiki
children. The way in which they sang
He's the lily of the valley, was to
me truly inspiring.
After the weekend meetings we
started over the Circuit. The first place
TO stop at was Hamakuapoko, where
we held meeting in the native church,
which is open to us for that purpose.
We had a good audience. The Army
has some practical friends in this place.
| God bless them.
From Hamakuapoko we proceeded
to Pauwela where arrangements We're
made for a meeting. 1t rained hard,

guests of MIR. and MRS. Pa. Next day
| dawned lovely and clear. The salubrity
| of that morning is something to be re-
membered. We had breakfast with
Brother and Sister A. Douse. We then
proceeded to Pafa, and held meeting
I in Mr.. Dickey's hall, opened to us for

/ there at night, after which we proceed

We were entertained by Mrs. Lowrie.
L must not forget to mention the kind
! hospitality of Mr.. and Mrs. Allen at
this place. They say. Come any time"
| Next day we came home somewhat tir-
ed. but well saved, and encouraged re-
garding the future. We had Saturday
and Sunday meetings at the home
corps.
Monday night we went to waihee
and held a meeting in the schoolroom.
Had quite nice audience there. We
called on Mr.. and Mrs Ogg and Brother
and Sister Christensen. at this meet
ing we had the assistance of Mr. Ke-
liinoi, the principal of the school.
