Women. I think, are mostly to blame
for spelling the minister: Their adu-
lation soon turns his head which is
not generally over-strong, the qualities
of youth which induce one to accept
the ministerial calling being credulity,
pliancy and the disposition to turn the
other cheek, not good material out of
which to make a man. But no matter
who or what influence acts upon the
minister to the detriment of his good
sense, there he is, SNUG, self-compla-
cent, dictatorial full of professional
mannerisms and self-esteem and yet Of
only ordinary mental and spiritual cal
iber. How can any unhypnotfZed man
sit under his ministry and stand it
long?
| must agree, Mr.. Editor, with one of
your correspondents who wrote on the
subject of revivals-what is wanted to
fill the empty pews is A MAN in the
pulpit Why is it that the great men
of the nation, the guiding spirits. are
all in business, or craftsmanship or sec
ular education or the lay professions or
in diplomacy or the armed services of
the nation? When a so-called great
preacher arises in the present day, he
seems to be great only in the way of
the one-eyed man, who, in crowd of
blind men is king. None who wear. the
cloth today are great enough to instruct
masses Of men, saying nothing of their
ability to interpret the oracles of God.
You may get something from teachers
of other callings-but when you ask a
clergyman for the bread of life you do
not even get something so useful as
a stone; you get superior and plying
look, an efflorescence of manner, some
texts which his next sermon on the
Higher Criticism may inva1idate,
enough of unctious platitudes and an
air of condescension which ought to
make you proud, a miserable sinner
singled out for so much honor, but
which really leaves you irritated to the
last degree.

Editor Advertiser 1t is with deep
sorrow that 1 announce to you the
death of Miss E. Williams, which took
place on Nov. 18th, about h. IS m. am.
Miss Williams occupied the position
OF first assistant in the Government
school, at Waiohinu, during the past
three years. She was an aGliable young
lady, and greatly respected by all VINO
knew her. On Friday, the 7th, she was
taken i'll, which soon reached an alarm
ing stage. DR.. Thompson, the Govern
ment physician of Kau, was called to
visit her, and pronounced that she was
in a dangerous condition, being serious
ly affected with disease of the lungs.
The resident physician of Pahala-Dr.
Schwallie-was called and after con-
sulting together they pronounced that
expected. She gradually grew worse,
until the fatal hour arrived when her
soul returned to Him who gave it.
Great praise is due to Miss Taylor,
principal of the school, also to Mrs.
Mccarthy, and Mr.. and Mrs. Eaton,
for their continued care and attention
to the late Miss Williams during her
fatal Illness The residents of Waio-
hinu, and the community at large, ex-
press their sorrow for the sad bereave-
| ment which has taken place in their
| midst.
The funeral will take place at
o'clock this afternoon Sunday, Novem-
Der 16).

A LOST SHEEP
TELLS HIS STORY

s Editor Advertiser: I was brought up
in the Presbyterian church and Sun
day School of an Eastern town and in
herited nothing but respect for Chris |
tan fellowship; but as time went on, |
church services became more and more
arepugnant to me. Why, l did not at
first clearly know; but as / look back
upon the various things that might be
ascribed as causes, I conclude that l
took offence at clergymen as class.
Certainly L cannot feel respectful to
them now and if l could 1 would prob
ably go to church, for there is some
thing in the quiet, the music and the
contemplation which used to charm and
soothe me and probably, considered by
themselves, would do as much again.
No one likes man who is egotistical
and domineering; and if that man is
minister. a supposed follower of the
meek and lowly Nazarene, SO much the
worse, for his coneeit becomes tainted
with hypocrisy. Most clergymen I have
met show these faults in a greater or
lesser degree. One can easily see why
s and wish for change in the condi-
tions that produce them. AS Mr.. James
Buckham, a writer in The Christian
Register, said last year, developing the
thesis that ministers are "self-con-
scious'' beyond the normal and becom-
ing From time immemorial the priest
ly or clerical class has been regarded as
sanctified and lifted above other classes
by mere virtue of it's more sacred call
ing. Men have encouraged its repre-
sentatives in cherishing the conception
OF vicarious excellence and nobility
and worshipfulness derived from the
priestly function. And now, in these
later days, when the worlds semi-wor-
ship has been largely withdrawn from
the minister in his purely representa-.
tive capacity, and he has been com
PEELED to stand or fall as man, ap
praised by inherent manly virtue alone
it has been a hard and slow and reluc
tant task for the clergyman to disabus,
himself of the old notion of sacerdota
sanctity, and to estimate himself ant
the homage due him purely on ground
Of individual character and ability.
Another reason why the clergyman
is peculiarly liable to the temptation
Of egotism is because his function i
necessarily more or less paternal ad
visory, and instructive. He is, indeed
like a shepherd in the midst of hi
hock. So figure so well expresses tn
hitherto accepted idea of the pastora
relation as this old, familiar Scripture
illustration. The minister is always III

There is justice in the complaint of
Becky Panee that she is being plumber
ed under the forms of law; and this
and many other instances during the
past two years are calculated to alarm
estates that find themselves at the
mercy of the courts. When the $500
in fees that have been levied on poor
Becky as, fine for her attempt to Sc
cure the management of her own prop
erty are contrasted with the fees paid
by the rich business houses here for
services requiring the highest order of
legal talent, the essential injustice of
such awards speaks for itself. Day
light robbery is what Becky Panee
calls it and the phrase strikes popular
chord.

Must Be Held Under Statute
Laws

The Court of Appeals has decided
that all party primary election must be
held under the statute primary election
law, or otherwise primary elections are
useless and void Political parties in
tins State have not been holding such
elections under the regular State law,
chiefly because of the expense, but
hereafter they must do 50, or resort 10
the convention system. Primary cleo
tions are the best methods of ascertain
ing the choice Of the people, but as
as they have been held out side OF the
State law, sometimes they have been
outrages, as they have beeu held no
penalties can attach for illegal voting
or any kind of fraud. In some instan
ces il has been charged that hundreds
and hundreds of voters have been count
ed a. vothing in these primaries who
mad never been about the polls, and
other and elery kind of fraud.
When primary elections officers are
guilty of such thing, the people are
helpless. because being held outside of
of the state law, there is no penalty,
punishment. or any kind of relief. For
tins reason primary elections when held
at all should be held under the regular
State law so that the Preparations OF
fraud can be punished. The cost will
be greater. but the purity of elections
is above all money considerations.

HARMFUL BATHING.
Too Much Soap and Water Is Not
Good for the Skin.

From the Lancet.
| It is a familiar boast of English peo-
pie that we are above all others a
washing nation. Soap and water is
standing dish in Great Britain, but
so little were we disposed to credit
the habitual cleanliness of foreigners
that piece of soap in the valise was
till recently the habitual companion of
an Englishman on his travels. All
kinds of theories have been raised to
account for this national tendency to
ablution. and most diverse qualities
have been attributed to it's possession.
The familiarity Of islanders with wa
ter and the use of IL occasioned by the
national custom that led the ancient
Britons to paint their bodies are SOL
EMMY urged as the foundation of the
English proneness to washing. and the
fresh compilations and smooth skins
of young Englishmen are held to re-
place the more dusky and hirsute
countenances OF the Latin races be-
cause of their closer and more fire.
quent acquaintance with the articles
of the washstand.
1t Is quite obvious that even in Eng
land there are people who wash too
little. 1t is not so generally recog-
nized that some people wash too much.
The skin is not well adapted to fire.
uent applications of water accompanied
by even the least irritating of soaps.
A tendency arises to maceration of the
superficial part of the epidermis. which
is too frequently removed and occa-
sions probably too rapid proliferation
of the cells of the Malpighian LAYER.
There is no doubt that many cases
of roughness of the skin OF the face
come from the frequent applications OF
water. 1t is a good thing to rub the
face with a SOFT clean, dry towel two
or three times a day. II, In addition.
water Is used in the morning and at
night. the skin will be kept in
sounder and healthier state than II.
as Is often the case, soap and water
are used three or four times a. day.
Men are not often offenders in this
respect, most men sparing little time
for the refinements Of the toilet. Wo-
men and children. whose skins are the
most easily affected by superfuous alb
luton, are the very persons In whom
such excess is too common. They
should be taught that there are dry
methods of cleanliness as well as wet
ones.
