HOW THE SALVATIONISTS
CARRY ON WAR in MAUI

ready for the hard days work, which
was an ice-cream go at night. We
found that Lieutenant Mcleod, who
was at home had been fighting away
as usual in Central Maui, While the
captain was away with me-
We put in a good day on Sunday.
Commenced with a Bible class, taking
the junior company lesson for that day
as our subject can excellent idea, which
we pass on to others). We next pro-
ceeded to Jail for a meeting. Sister
Annie sam, one of our native lass1es,
was a big help; one of the coIored men
from Tennessee was also along, and
we finished with five prisoners kneel-
ing at the penitent fOrm-two natives,
two Chinese and one Jap. We had
about forty children of various nation
alites in the company meeting We
had a splendid open-air meeting at
night, and the crowd inside was also
good.
On Monday 1 was called away to Ka-
hulu to conduct the funeral of Miss
Susie Kirkland. the daughter of the
manager of the companys store. 1t
was sad inasmuch as her death, which
! came only after "a few days illness,
had been quite unexpected. After the
| funeral the captain and L drove over
| to SpreckelSville camp 8, and held a
meeting in the club house. Miss Rem
wick, the matron, is great believer
/ in the Salvation Army, and conducts
! junior company for the captain ev
/ cry Sunday morning. The next day
we returned to Kahului. Here we have
l'another company meeting, which the
captain himself conducts every Sunday
afternoon.
And now we take another trip. 7
was anxious to visit East Maui, and
! the quickest way is by boat, so We
! boarded the steamer Maui on Wednes-
| day afternoon. She makes the sew
u T
! agony of travelling on. The trip was
rough, and / was glad when we reach
| ed Hama. During the two days we re-
manned here we were most Hospitality
entertained at the house of Mr.. Kai-
! wiaer the principal of the public
schools. In the morning and evening
we went visiting and selling War Crys.
In the evening we went through the
! Japanese camp, accompanied by MI
Imai. We went through the whole
camp selling our War Crys. Our stock
| of Japanese vernacular isn't very eX-
tensive, but it suffices for pushing the
paper. 1t would be as follows. KUN
ba toke no koye l<iyu sa gun tokyo pl
mai nj mai go SEN" which being in
terpreted means, Good evening; here
is the War Cry of the Salvation Army
Just come from Toxic, and only cost
ing two copies for five cents" Some
would tell us they no got" but after
looking it over, would produce their
nickel. and with a bow and a "saiyo-
nara (good-bye) we went on. The
captain and l sold fifty each.
Then gathering on the main, street,
we held meeting, surrounded by
Japanese. We sang songs in their own
language, and then addressed them in
English, our talks being interpreted by
Brother Imai.
Next morning in proper apostolic
fashion. we tramped over to Hamoa,
calling at the different houses on the
way. l found the managers of both
the plantations, together with the lead
ing people, most friendly to us, and on
all sides the cry was for resident off,
GERS. Oh, for officers Truly the har-
] Vest is great!
At the conclusion of our meeting on
the second afternoon, we went down to
the wharf and got aboard the Maui to
return to Wailuku
