says Mr.. Conn, with an aching back.
The attacks occurred periodically for
years, and especially if I happened to
catch cold. There were also other
symptoms which plainly showed that
my kidneys were out of order. a short
time ago, 1 heard about Doan's Back
ache Kidney Pills and the wonderful
things they We're doing.
Proceeding, then, to HOLSTER & Co.'s
drug store, I obtained some Of these.

Chinese boys and young men. When I
mention Iolani, I am reminded at once
of a plan I hope to carry out shortly.
This school occupies at present the
"Old Stone House which was the boy
hood home of General Samuel c. Arm
strong, the founder of Hampton In
stitute. The house stands in a fine two
acre lot, Immediately adjoining our
cathedral and school property. For the
present, I rent it. We ought to buy it,
but the amount needed, $25, 900, is be-
yond our ability, particularly in view
of the large amount we are about to
spend in charging the cathedral.
@. Was General Armstrong born in
Honolulu?
A. No; but he was born on the island
of Maui, where his father was a Con-
gregational missionary. Later the
family moved to Honolulu. In 1856
young Armstrong came to the United
States, determined to devote his life to
the service of God and men. In one
sense he was a product of foreign mis-
sions. He was Hawaiis great gift to
this country. 1t seems fitting, therefore,
that as the Church is now SO strongly
established in Honolulu we should en-
deavor to commemorate General Arm
Estrong'S great service to the United
States in some worthy way. 1 want to
buy this "Stone House. and the ground
on which it stands, for the permanent
home of IoIani College and make the in
stitution a memorial to General Arm
strong. The property fronts on Berea
tania street, the principal thoroughfare,
and here, where all may see it, I want
to erect memorial gateway to Ha-
waits great son. DR.. Booker T. Wash
ington, who is largely the product of
General Armstrong; teaching and inf1u-
ence, on hearing of my plan, wrote me
that he could think of nothing which
would have pleased General Armstrong
so much as to have his old home used
for the education of Hawaiian youth.
@. Have you received much encour-
agement in the carrying out of this
project?
A. All our Church people in Honolulu
are in favor of it, and my many friends
among the old Congregational mis-
sionary families have expressed their
gratitude that we should wish to COM
memorate in this way the one man Of
whom, more than any others, they are
proud. From people in this country,
both before and since my coming,
have received assurances of deep inter
est and cooperation.
Q. You feel confident of the future of
the Church in the islands?
A. Unqualifiedly SO. How could it be
otherwise when look back and see how
much has been accomplished in the last
year and half? 1 have seen in Ha-
wall, as never before, that our Lord is
the Son of Man, that He is the Saviour
of all nations and people, and that men
of widely divergent races can be led
to see in Him the hope of humanity
and the way to the Father Moreover, T
believe that the Church which sent me
to Honolulu desires to sustain me in nv
work, and expects me to plan as wisely
as can for continued advance.
