eressiye. At Hamakuapok, some six
weeks or more ago. new Jauanese
church and school were dedicated un-
der Christian auspices. though at the
dedicatory exercises OF the school the
WWluku Buddhist priest was present.
Now i'm spite of the fact that a Jap
anese Christian minister has been hold
ing regular services in the church. the
Buddhists have, so it is stated. laid
claim to both church and school and
successfully maintained it.
1t is also reported that the Hama
kuapoko Japanese minister will imme-
didtely proceed to build another church.
At Wailuku since the completion of
the Buddhist temple. the large and
hitherto thriving Sabbath school under
the charge of Christian japanese min
lister has been well-ngh broken up.
nearly all the japanese children going
20 the Buddhist Sunday school at the
temple. Now it is stated that the Bud
dhists of Waikiki will soon open kim
dergarten in opposition to the one at
Alexander House.
The japanese Buddhists are fighting
the Christians with their own weapons.
Their ability to initiate is more to be
feared than their inventive powers,
their patriotism more than their re-
liEtons belief which is cold lifeless and
unattractive at least to ignorant minds.
NEW COURT TERN OPENS.
The December term of the Second
Circuit win begin on Wednesday, Dec.
Sd, at Lahaina Court House. Hon. j. w.
kdlua presiding. a calendar of seventy
cases will be presented. though il is
probable that the twelve fishery" suits
will not come to trial owing to the re-
cent adverse decision of the Supreme
Court
The only murder case is that of Fu-
gita Kichitaro, who in the lower court
confessed to the killing of a Japanese
woman at Kihei.
In most of the criminal cases to be
heard Porto Ricans are concerned.
Quite a number of attorneys are eX-
pected from Honolulu as there are sew
eral important matters to be determine
ed by judge and jury.
I 1t is thought that the term will not
continue longer than ten days.
