REV. GEO. C.. ADAMS ON THE
SPIRIT OF THE MISSIONARIES

of wealth and refinement, equally anx-
ious to help carry the gospel to every
part of the earth. Sons of missionaries
are still doing the work their parents
began; of those born in the islands it is
well to mention Rev. O. P. Emerson,
corresponding secretary of the Hawai-
ian Board of Missions; Rev. Q. H. Gu
lick, in charge of the mission work for
Japanese in the Islands; F. w. Damon,
in charge of the Chinese work; Rev. S.
E. Bishop, DID,, editor and instructor
and authority on scientific subjects;
and Hiram Bingham, Jr., DID, whose
undying crown is the entire Bible in
the language of the Gilbert Islands;
these and others have inherited the
spirit of the missionaries and carry on
their work. But even as great as these
are the evidences among men of bust
ness. That gift of $4,000 to the Ameri-
can Board a year ago was raised with
out trouble among a few; one gentle
man went to those he thought would
object of his coming to receive checks
of $500 and $1,000 apiece; and as he
went up the gang plank of the steamer
after the banks had closed, and When
exchange could not be procured, another
gentleman rushed up and found fault
because he had not come to him for a
check of 81 900. Any community is blest
that has so great a number Of such
men. The Hawaiian Board raise from
$35, 900 to 1000 a year, and the lions
share comes from the sons and daugh-
tiers of missionaries. 1t is an unusual
thing for a lady to come to the preacher
and apologize for being always late at
morning service, giving as the reason
the fact that she taught in the mission
her father planted, which came before
the service. 1t is not a common thing
to find a man of wealth loving to go
and worship and work with all his
power in a mission for the natives bet
ter than to worship in the great church
with all It's accessories, and planning
to give largely to make the mission
permanent; but these and many other
instances show how completely the
spirit of the fathers and mothers has
taken possession of the sons and daugh-
tiers.

group of missionaries ought to be man.

The American Board of Commission
ers for Foreign Missions sent in all
twelve companies of missionaries to the
Hawaiian Islands, numbering one hun
dred and thirty-th three individuals The
first party arrived in April. 1920. and
the twelfth in 1s4S. They were picked
men and women, sent to evangelize the
people of the Islands. No one could
foresee what has since occurred, that
the native population would in this
short time dwindle from 100000 to about
29, 900. Various influences have worked
to bring this about. In the first place
it seems impossible for the natives OF
those islands to endure the contact with
civilization; take native who has liv-
ed naked under a hot sun. and spent
most of his time out of doors; clothe
him, and teach him to live in a house,
and he dies of consumption. Again,
some things came to the islands for
which the missionaries were not re-
sponsible; it has been their determined
opposition to some of them that has
earned for the missionaries the hatred
of many who did not come there to do
any one good; the liquor that the ma
tives learned to drink carries them off
at a great rate. These and other causes
have united to make new set of prob
lens.
The original missionaries have nearly
all gone on to their reward; it is we'll

to the islands. The first answer to this
is that they have left untarnished
names; it was TO be expected, but there
fore many have forgotten that they did
it, They left children, who inherited
their parents powers of brain and
heart A man who wrestles with ques-
tons of infinity is liable to have some
brain power to bequeathe to posterity;

failed no one would ever have found
any fault; because some Of them made

nations were called for, the course being
their submission to a committee Of
three and voting upon the names at
the next meeting. The men placed in
nomination were: Edgar Caypless, J.
K. Kalanianaole prince Cupid, c.
Long, w. Kahlbaum, D. Mahuka and
]. D. Holt. The first names are those
most favored.
While the nominations were being
made by ballot, Senator Kalauokalani
fervidly addressed the meeting in de-
Tense of himself. He said that he had
been criticised at length for the failure
Of the party to carry out its program
in the legislature. He was honest, too
honest for the kind of leader some Of
them wanted. He was called too easy,
but in fact he had worked for the best
things, which he thought could be
secured only to find that there were
traitors in the party who prevented the
reaching of the ends which had engaged
his attea tion. He denied that there had
been utter failure, but said there had
been some decided work done which
would bear fruit in the future.

RATasURN's CASE.
The Probable Cause Of the IndIct-
ment for Perjury.

The grand jury failed to find a bill in
the case of w. K. Rathburn VS.. DR.. A.
B. Carter for assault with weapon.
Among the indictments of the grand jury
however. IS one against Rathburn for
perjury
The case, which created quite a stir
when it came up in about the middle of
July, grew out of the wouudlng of ex-
Judge Rathburn by DR.. Carter. 1t was
said that Rathburn was somewhere
around the premises of DR.. Carter at
Makao in Koolau, and that the doctor
shot Rathburn twice. The reason for
the shooting was said to be the suspicion
which the doctor had touching the rela-
tons of Rathburn and Mrs. Carter
The doctor and Rathburn, however,
told different stories to their friends, re-
garding the place where the shooting
took place. Rathburn claimed that he
was on the government road outside,
while the doctor claimed that Rathburn
was on his premises. 1t is reported that
Rathburn's sworn statement of location
accounts for his present trouble.
