OIL FUEL IN HAWAII
GREATLY PREFERABLE TO COAL.

Saving of Thirty-six Per Cent.-FUr-
mace Rooms Clean as Parlor-
Makes No Smoke.
The substitution of crude oil in place
of coal in Hawaii is proving an un-
qualified success. On Maui. the Haiku.
Paia, Hawaiian Commercial and Kikei
plantations are using oil. on this isl
and and kahuku, Waialua. Oahu and
Honolulu are using it and Eva will be
in a few weeks In this city the
Young building is burning oil. and at
the beginning OF this week the Rapid
Transit Company converted all OF its
furnaces into oil burners So lar as
reported, the change is working salts
factorily on all OF the plantations. with
a uniform reduction in cost OF ap
proximately thirty-six per cent.
In addition to the saving in dollars.
oil fuel has three distinct advantages
over coal. First, it requires much less
labor to handle it. This is serious
consideration on the plantations, where
every labor-savng device and process
should be fostered as means OF meet
ing the demand for labor Any ma

as it reduces the requirements for la
borers by fifty per cent. in connection
with that particular work. This is an
important consideration now, and it
may in the future prove most vital.
Second. ii is a clean fuel Instead

fire room becomes a show place, clean
as parlor. while the fireman wears

his tastes run that way.
Third. il is smokeless. Not compar-
atively so, but absolutely smokeless.
If any smoke issues from the smoke

some defect in the burner used. or in
the arrangement of the furD-.:e. An
inspection of the Rapid Transit fur
mace and smokeslack will demonstrate
this fact to any one who desires to
prove it.
This last-named advantage is of
great importance in Honolulu. With
only soft coal available, even the few
fuel-using concerns in town were be-
coming serious nuisance to all in
their immediate neighborhood. A few
more years Of development would have
made us a small Pittsburg, so far as
the smoke nuisance is concerned. No
smoke producer in Honolulu can here
after plead that he cannot prevent il.

cleanliness and abolition of smoke in
its favor, there does not seem to be
any reason why oil should not, at an
early date. entirely superscde coal in
Hawaii. as power producing fncl.
Its early adoption here is evidence of
the progressive spirit of our people and
their ability to keep step with the age,

under the influence OF one of them,
Peter Boiler, John became convinced
OF his want OF that faith whereby
alone we are saved" This was en-
phasized by his experience with
man under sentence of death, and the
influence of this was such that on
May "a, 1898, he came to the full be-
lief in the new creed, which before
had been as a sealed box to him.
This revolutionized the whole char
acter ard method of his ministry. or
the event Rev. Hugh Price Hughes
wrote: The rubicon was crossed. The
sweeping aside of ecclesiastical tradi-
tions. the rejection OF the apostolic
succession, the ordination with his
own hands Of presbyters and bishops,
the final organization OF separate
and fully equipped church, were all
logically involved in what took place
that night
Lecky declared: The conviction
which then flashed upon one of the
most powerful and most active intel
lects in England is the true source OF
English Methodism."
Wesley soon organized corps of
helpers, went forth to proclaim the
gospel of his famous sermon before
the university of oxford on by grace
are ye saved through faith'-the key
note of all his subsequent ministry.
On New Years eve, 1889, seven OF
the oxford Methodists-al ministers
OF the church of England-and some
sixty others held "watch-night" serv-
ice and love feast" both OF which
were subsequently ingrained into uni
versal Methodist custom. Watch
night" was first established as a reg
ular custom at kingswood, Dec. 81,
1910.
Whitefeld had already begun to
preach in the open air, and Wesley
adopted the custom with some mis-
Sivings. which were modified by his
remembrance of "the Sermon on the
Mount" Under his preaching at Bris-
tol multitudes broke out into strange
cries and shouts, with singular physi-

cal manifestations such as marked the
great awakening in New England.
Wesley never encouraged such phe-
nomena, but made every effort to con-
troll them. sometimes regarding the
fits as device of Satan TO stop the
work However, the evangelsts be-
lieved that the large majority were
the result of real conviction for sin,
and one of Wesley's recent biograph-
crs of the Anglican church gives
credit for their genuine character.
The foundation of the first Method
ist preaching room" in the world was
laid in Bristol May 70, 1888. and was
afterward known as the old room in
the Horse fair" Wesley was obliged
to raisl the funds and became the
owner. In this way nearly all the
chapels built in his early career were
vested for wEih. Afterward trusts
were created and by his deed OF dec
laration" ell his interests in these
buildings were transferred to his in
corporated conference"

original purpose blending the raising
of funds by contributions from mem
bers with spiritual consolation, educa-
ton and uplift.
Wesley's first organizations. while
they partook largely of the character
of modern churches. We're called soci-
cites, and he did not then aspire to
any other designation. The first was
formed in London in April, 1873.
Before long. however, the Wesleys
were excluded from the pulpits of the
Anglican church. and by 1740 the
clergy excluded them and their con
verts from the Lords table. The So
cieties grew in number, and on Feb.
90, 17i3, Joln Wesley sent out the
signed later by Charles Wesley also

united in order to pray together, to
receive the word of eXhortatiOn. and to
watch over one another in love, that
they may help each other to work out
their salvation.'
There was but ono condition for ad-
mission-"a desire to fee from the
wrath to come and to ne saved from
their sins" But to show fruits it was
expected that all should evidence their
desire "by doing no harm. by avoid
ing evil in every kind, especially that
which was most generally practiced."

Rut John Bennet, one of Wesley's
preachers, also fell in love with her,
and after the opposition of Charles
Wrsley to her marriage with his
brother. Bennet married her. Wesley
did not meet her again until 1888, three
years before his death, but he remem-
bored her with affection and grief all
though his life.
IN 1851 he married Mrs. Vazeille,
wldow Of London merchant. Wesley
iu- 5ted that her fortune should be
souled upon herself and her children.
and that he should not preach or travel

including such diversions as cannot
be used in the name OF the Lord Jc-
sus.'
Thus was laid the broad platform OF
the spirit and creed on which was to
inspire it's fervent zeal, its social tenn
rer, its philanthropies and its spiritual
character.
But Wesley was finally driven. much
against his desire, to make distinct
separation of his societies from the
church of England. The brothers be-
gan to administer the sacrament, and
thus full provision was made for the
societies, although many Methodists
continued to attend the communion OF
the Anglican church.
The Irregularities alarmed the pre-
