MAJOR WOODS NOTES ON
SALVATION ARMY CAMPAIGN

ton of it enclosed a pass for any of
their steamers. Being hopeful of open
ing up a circuit on the island of Oahu
outside of Honolulu, l was DESTROYS of
taking the Colonel around so that he
might see the ground to be covered.
When I laid the matter before the rail-
road they most courteously gave me a
pass for three to the end of their line
and back. Mr.. p. c. Jones also ar
ranged for us to have luncheon at the
beautiful Haleiwa hotel, and afterwards
carriage drive to the new Waialua
mill. thus giving the Lieutenant-Co Colonel
and Major an opportunity to see an
up-to-date sugar mill in operation. We
certainly appreciate very much these
kindnesses.
But in my humble opinion it was well
worth the coloneTs time alone to come
down and conduct these Mondays
councils AS said before, the juniors
took up one whole session, the other
sessions being taken up with a most
thorough consideration of the foreign
speaking work among the Hawaiians,
Japanese Chinese and Porto Ricans.

not necessary for me to give in detail
We owe our hearty thanks TO Ensign
Larabee and her assistants for thei.'
part in making the councils and meet
ings a success by so ably and fully
looking after the physical needs of the
officers. She was certainly the mother
of the council. The reception room
of the home made an ideal council
chamber. The memory of these meet
ingS and the blessed influence from
them will remain with US for a long
time. They mark the commencement
of a new epoch, and the effects of the
different decisions arrived at will be
seen in the coming year and years.
In the seventh anniversary gather
ing and farewell on Monday night, af-
ter reading out the figures and ad-
vances for the past year, the lieutenant
colonel gave out the divisional target
for the coming year. 1t was as fol-
lows: One thousand souls, one hundred
more soldiers. ten more officers, the
appointment of foreign officers to the
different Islands: the reorganization of
the circuits for the better covering of
the ground, and steps to be taken to-
wards securing a citadel for Honolulu.
Our latest addition to the officers roll
Brother John Mccormick, was publicly |
commissioned a probationary lieuten-

take charge of Hilo; Lieutenant Nc |
Lehman. from Koloa, goes to assist |
Lieutenant Hellesath on Maui and |
Lieutenant Smith, a gift to US by the |
colonel, from the Coast, goes to Ko- |
loa
In connection with the appointment |
of the foreign officers, which is impera- |
tive for the successful dealing with the |
people, we already have our eyes on |
two Chinese speaking. one native. a |
Japanese and two Portuguese people, |
and we have faith for them and 9TH
ers besides. These Islands with their |
many nationalities. must be won for |
God.
And now we have said goodbye 10 |
our lieutenant colonel. His visit was |
all too short. but as he has promised |
to try and return in the spring with |
Mrs. French. we will forgive him not |
being able to visit Hawaii and Maui. |
