transferring the property is something
new. This is simply the echo OF some
thing that happened right here In Ho-

There is no confidence expressed"
F. ]. Testa--'I feel to be in sympa
thy with the last speaker. The actions
of the Kohala people show a lack OF
confidence in the trustees. In so doing
it is reviving that old ranking sore
that we had to deal with a long time
ago. 1t seems to rankIe In some people
so that they cannot eradicate It from
their minds. I am sorry to see 1t. 1
hope my motion that this matter be
referred to a committee will prevail 30
that 1t can be sifted. thoroughly. More

I will move the previous question"
The motion was finally passed and
a committee appointed, consisting of r
j. Testa, Rev. Canon AuIt and Mr.
Chang Kim.
When the synod convened Bishop
Willis made some allusion to Cushing's
Manual and other parliamentary au-
thorities, saying he was not familiar
with all their details. T. Give Davies
held up a Cushing's Manual, to which
he referred often during the meeting
when the members became involved In
discussion over such matters.
